pIt cuts again to show a railway line with the caption reading: “Foxes randomly chilling on the rail track.”/p
pAfter another cut, it shows someone filming outside the stadium with the caption saying: “a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196653/arsenal/Arsenal/a Fan TV recording videos right outside your living room.”/p

pMany residents who live in the shadow of the stadium say it’s great there as it has brought investment and gentrification to the area./p
pBut for some businesses it has been both a blessing and a curse./p
pCarl Nelson, 54, runs the Arsenal Mini Mart which is on the street which takes fans from Holloway Road tube station to the stadium but he says he loses out on match days because he can’t sell a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/alcohol/alcohol/a./p
pHe has estimated he loses between £3,000-£4,000 on match days./p
pHowever, many a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pubs/pubs/a and cafes making a killing from the surge in business./p

pEmily Grant, 32, has lived near the stadium for three years and while she’s not a fan of the a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/Premier League/a side, she really enjoys the atmosphere when the fans arrive./p
pShe added she likes that the stadium brings in new investment into the area and #8220;means a lot of the pubs and shops can keep going#8221;./p
