Entering Emirates Stadium, Block vs Turnstile
I have never been to Emirates Stadium and have tickets for the match tomorrow (10 Dec) with a friend. The instructions say that unless we enter at the right place we can be refused entry altogether, and that means forfeiting some decent coin.
So the instructions say...
Turnstile: M Stand: Clock End Block: 121 (followed by row, seat)
But when I examine a map of the stadium, like at http://www.arsenal.com/news/emirates-stadium-news/emirates-stadium-seating-plan there isn't anything indicating turnstiles.
Question: So approaching the stadium, which comes first? Does one look for "Turnstile M" or an entrance marked "Block 121"?
Secondarily, I can see the Arsenal Tube Stop and the Holloway Road Tube Stop, one to the Northeast and the other to the Southwest of the stadium, which of these is more convenient to the 'Clock End'?
Note (for Zach Lipton):
You MUST enter through the correct Block (entrance) only! If you try to enter through another Block, you will be denied entrance and will not be able to enter the stadium and see the match.
also this...
It is important that you will NOT approach any stewards or any personnel working at the club or stadium.

When I go to google maps, street view, I can just about see/read one of the information boards outside the Stadium and see letters on it with arrows, for entrances I am sure, and just inside the building there is a banner with Clock End.
My virtual location was on Benwell road.
I'd say the nearest underground station would be Holloway Road, if that information is right.
But the best information you find on the site of the stadium
That site has a map
I see what you mean by 'no turnstile information', I am sure there will be information on those boards I saw in street view, or on temporary ones.
Otherwise, ask one of the many volunteers who are always around or one of the others waiting to get in.
