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.
To earn money in my youth I had my own Spastic pools round which was a fundraiser for the charity of the same name. So the word was in general use and not just a not so nice playground taunt - although it was that as well.
Anyway, I think the Spastics Society, as it was called then, is now better known as Scope.
