Fans mock Jack Wilshere's Arsenal as away game is postponed because the team bus drove to the wrong location

Arsenal under-18s were scheduled to play a game away at Brighton this Saturday but that match has now been postponed due to the team bus going to Bournemouth instead.

The team managed by former Arsenal star and England international, Jack Wilshere will no longer be in action this weekend as their game had to be postponed.

The postponement was deemed necessary because the team bus drove to Bournemouth which is 95 miles away from Brighton who they were originally supposed to play against.

The news of the postponement was announce by the official Arsenal academy account but they opted to leave out the reason for it perhaps out of embarrassment.

Fans react to Arsenal under-18s' geographical error

Users of X, formerly known as Twitter were quick to point out the reason Arsenal under 18s missed their match and mocked them for it.

A match having to be postponed because the team bus went to a wrong stadium is not something that that happens everyday so it is understandable that the fans are amused by the situation.

Bournemouth is 95 miles away from Brighton, with over two hours drive required to get between the two locations. Once the error was spotted, the 12pm kick-off at the AMEX Football Centre was initially delayed for half an hour, before the Under-18s Premier League South fixture was postponed entirely.

It is unclear when the match will now be played.
