Emirates Stadium does not permit bags larger than A4, which the club describes as a standard rucksack or handbag, and strongly advises fans not to bring bags at all. All bags are searched, which slows entry. Luggage storage is at King's Cross station, and flags or banners with discriminatory, offensive or political content are prohibited.
