Hello Oklahoma City Gooners! Welcome to our new online community! Now, I'm sure most of you new to this site probably thought something like "wow, what a piece of crap" when you first opened it. Well, it is a piece of crap, but it will do!
Right, there are three things we're hoping to accomplish with this new forum.
1. A place for Oklahoma City gooners to talk about all things Arsenal
2. Organization. I know there are gooners in OKC, but we certainly aren't organized. I want us to eventually be able to do things like setting up watch parties in bars/pubs for the matches. Branches of Arsenal America are already doing this all over the country! We should be able to create a good Arsenal/pub atmosphere for at least the bigger matches.
3. Outreach. Yes, I believe our passion for the club should be shared. We can always find ways to grow the support for Arsenal here in OKC.
NOTE: ARSENAL AMERICA!
Arsenal America is the (only) official supporters club of Arsenal Football Club in the United States including branches all over the country. Sooner Gooners is not yet associated with Arsenal America. This means that we are not an official Arsenal supporters club/branch. However, AA is aware of our new movement and has us listed as a potential AA branch for the future. Official status will be granted to us once we've built a solid foundation of supporters. This includes finding a pub home in which we meet for matches regularly! For more information about Arsenal America please visit arsenalamerica.com
Please do not hesitate with any thoughts, ideas, or concerns regarding this site. Remember, this is a new site! The forum will grow with us. Also, the name "Sooner Gooners" has nothing to do with the University of Oklahoma. If you happen to be an Oklahoma State cowboys fan, please do not be offended! Oklahoma is the "Sooner" state, hence the name.
Cheers
