Mention of 1913 Suffragette attack on old Manor Ground stadium removed?

I could not find any talk pages regarding this, so apologies if it's already been discussed!

I was browsing other pages (namely Ewood Park) and found that it linked back to this page regarding Suffragettes causing a fire and subsequent destruction of the grandstand of the Manor Ground staidum in Plumstead. This article talks about it, but there's no mention of it on this Arsenal page, the Manor Ground page, or the Highbury.

This seems like a significant historical detail which appears to have been removed from these pages given Arsenal_F.C.#Stadium_destruction_and_move_to_North_London. At a glance, it would appear that this attack and subsequent destruction was a major factor in moving to Highbury, so this seems like an odd event to exclude.
