Close to 5,000 supporters flocked to Emirates Stadium on Tuesday to attend Arsenal’s latest Members' Day.
Exclusively arranged for supporters who have signed up to the club's membership scheme, the annual event at the stadium played host to a range of fun activities.
As they arrived, supporters had the opportunity to take photos with the FA Cup before heading pitchside to see Arsène Wenger and the first-team squad train.
Fresh from their Emirates Cup win, the Arsenal players received a very warm welcome, in particular the club’s newest signing, Petr Cech.
After training, three Arsenal members were selected at random to take part in a crossbar challenge with Wenger and first-team players Chuba Akpom, Cech, Olivier Giroud, Emi Martinez and Jack Wilshere.
The entire squad then gave 12 lucky Junior Gunners a guard of honour as they welcomed them to the pitch for a special match with mascot Gunnersaurus playing in goal.
In the afternoon, members got close to the players at a series of question and answer sessions. Cech, Giroud, Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker attended a Q&A in the North Bank stand where the fans wore Petr Cech face masks!
On the lower concourse there was plenty of fun too with a fast-feet challenge, speed cage, bungee run and rebound reaction wall, all designed to test supporters' reactions.
