The club was founded in 1886 and joined the Football League proper in 1893. Honours include 13 league titles, 10 FA Cups, 2 League Cups and a European Cup Winner's Cup. Company shares are traded on the PLUS Markets stock exchange (AFC). The club's new stadium at Ashburton Grove (opened for season 2006/07 and called the Emirates Stadium) doubled previous attendance capacity to 60,355 so there was a significant match-day revenue boost from this point forward.
