On Friday night - where their club was also to play - thousands of Arsenal fans stood outside the Emirates Stadium and demonstrated their dissatisfaction with the club's owner, Stan Kroenke, and his way of handling the whole situation with the Super League.

The London club's fans - like many other fans around the world - are unhappy with the whole concept of the Super League, and this is now affecting their club owner, who has put a lot of trust in the private tournament. The American's support for the tournament has caused the club's fans to turn against him. Not only do they want to see his departure, but they were so furious Friday night after showing it that they hung a doll up in a lamppost - which was supposed to represent the 73-year-old club owner - in protest.
