343 League games played at Manor Field by Arsenal
The club was elected into the Football League Division 2 in 1893 as Woolwich Arsenal FC. The ground was closed for five weeks following a crowd disturbance at the Burton Wanderers fixture on January 26th, 1895 and home games were played at Priestfield Road and The Lyttelton Ground. In 1913 the decision was taken to re-locate to Islington, some ten miles away, and establish Highbury Stadium.
