Arsenal's match-day revenue in the six months to November more than doubled to £38m, compared to £16m the previous half year (helped by two more matches at the Emirates).
Not surprising, given the Highbury Library had 38,000 seats and the Emirates has 60,000.
However, Gillett denied they were trying to compete with arch-rivals Manchester United, whose Old Trafford ground
holds 76,000, and pointed to the economic impact of Arsenal`s new Emirates Stadium with its increased capacity.
'I think we have to be economically competitive - it is not to be larger than Old Trafford or smaller than Old Trafford,' he told ITV1.
'Arsenal have set a new standard on game-day revenue - they set a new standard on quality and revenue.
'We want to be competitive. We don`t want to fall behind.' Liverpool's Ground Will Now Hold 73,000.
