If you don’t know, the Ashburton army are an independent supporters group within the Arsenal. They have gathered their name by showing their support over the years with a big crew of people.

Over the past recent years though they have gained an embarrassing reputation for themselves making the fan base look tragic. They bring politics into football, most of them are supporters of palestine targeting the Israel community leaving them out and calling them “Zionists”.

 One of the biggest controversies surrounding the Ashburton Army has been the discovery of antisemitic messages exchanged in private WhatsApp groups by some of its members. These messages, including Holocaust-related comments and conspiracy theories, sparked significant backlash. Although the group and club have condemned the behavior, this incident created a damaging association. Arsenal worked with the police on this issue.

This may have been dealt with but it still goes on. We have also seen many of their group assaulting and harassing ticket scammers. Although we do not like scammers, violence is never the answer and it puts a bad name on the club. If you go onto some of the members “X” posts you can see them celebrating the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, a proud patriot, Father, Son and Husband.

The Ashburton Army are well known as apart of our club and this makes us “real” supporters look very bad. Kick these thugs out of our club, they do not belong here.
