Arsenal in £375,000 bust-up over unsliced bread

Arsenal are suing a corporate box holder at the Emirates Stadium for £375,000 after an alleged bust up over unsliced bread.

The Gunners have launched a High Court writ against Capstone Sports Management claiming it stopped paying for executive seats after Arsenal staff refused to slice bread the company`s guests had brought into the box.

The Staff at Highbury were also allegedly ‘reprimanded’ after guests in box 48 were allowed to order in their own packed lunch for a match in December 2011.

Executive boxes at the Emirates start from £86,400 a season and promise guests ‘the ultimate VIP hospitality experience.

It is claimed that Capstone, was due to pay £465,000 in instalments for its box until 2016 but had stopped paying in April 2012.

The club says it received a letter from Capstone’s lawyers stating the company had stopped payments because the club had ‘promised… but failed to take any proper action’ about the packed lunch incident that took place during a match in December 2011.

However, Capstone denies Arsenals claims, while Arsenal`s lawyers refute the service provided ‘was deliberately compromised’ or that it ‘failed to take any proper action in relation to Capstone’s complaint’.

A club spokesman said Arsenal would make no further comment as court proceedings are on-going
