The Reason Why There's 10,000 Empty Seats At The Emirates Stadium

Are you watching the Arsenal vs. Hull City game and wandering why there's so many empty seats? Well, there's a reason behind the masses of visible red seats.

Arsenal are hosting Hull as they kick-off the Premier League weekend with Sky televising the encounter, though there is a glaring takeaway from the first-half.

The Gunners faithfuls are voting with their feet as they stage a protest against long-serving manager Arsene Wenger by not attending today's match. Per the Arsenal Supporters Trust, the frustration of the clubs situation is boiling over.

Needless to say, the mounting scrutiny Wenger is under grows stronger with his position coming under intense speculation.
