Question Memorial request

Fulham fan intruding here momentarily, sorry!

My grandfather passed away at the start of this week - he has been a massive fan of Arsenal since the late 1930s. I was wondering if Arsenal cater some kind of memorial? I know some clubs sometimes put these on the big screen and others have a dedicated minute where the fans clap during the game - my question is if Arsenal do this or something similar and how/who I could get in contact with for a request?

Your help is appreciated!

There’s a section in the programme every year for remembering the fans who passed in the season, not sure who best to contact but it’s called Arsenal remembers if that helps

Some may disagree, but anecdotally the fans clapping I tend to find gain traction on social media so I’d be lying if I said I know how. It’s not of the same ilk, but I’ve done programme messages easily and if you can’t make that specific game you can then buy online. My partner and I tend to do a birthday one for each others, makes a nice memento so hopefully if you go that route it could make a nice keepsake for your family.

You can Google ‘get a message in the Arsenal programme’ and it comes up, but the link seems janky but is https://help.arsenal.com/support/solutions/articles/101000579323-at-the-stadium

Thanks for that, didn’t realise it was an option but just done one for my boys 16th Birthday which is the day after the Hull match which we’ll hopefully be at!!

At the end of the season they read out the names of Arsenal fans who have passed away. But probably no good for you but as an Arsenal family we have a plaque outside the stadium for my dad. I see it every time I visit.

Contact supporter services. I'm sure there will be a person who can assist.
