As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
I definately admire movements like this and I really hope they do have some influence over the club. I'll support anything that pushes for positive change, I just hope someone at the club actually listens.

The club have twice invited us to meet with them and tried to 'control' us. If it means we have to curb our actions so we can talk to the club . . . then they are very much mistaken. Let's put them in a position where they HAVE to listen to Arsenal fans.
The cost of our GREED banner was met by selling scarves, but someone put they hand in their own pocket first to buy a stock of scarves. The billboard was paid for by one BSM supporter although he'll get repaid at some point . . . he's in no rush.
The money raised from membership will go towards further campaigns (another billboard more likely) and raising our profile to other Arsenal fans. It will not be used for gin and tonic in the WM Club.
I have signed up for full membership (cant pay the fee though due to something going wrong on the website whenever I try too). Am gonna get me one of those scarfs, I'd rather where that than my current red and whites at the minute.
