We support our local team?

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.

Very few Chelsea come from anywhere near their ground , the nearest enclave is Battersea ,Hammersmith and Putney are Fulham areas ,Vauxhall was always a big Arsenal Stronghold .
In the North the area around Tottenham hale was always Arsenal ,spurs fans come from Edmonton Wood Green Enfield Chingford but all have Arsenal followings too as does large swathes of Walthamstow !
Our success in the Early days of live TV in the 80's n 90's have made us into Londons best supported club bar none ,but then again we always were !

Can we now expect the club to do a pre season tour of Ethiopia, as over 52% of that countries tweeters are Gooners ?

Disappointing to see Malaysia we are only 3rd highest tweeted / supported.
I thought they were some of our most loyal / indoctrined supporters.

In south east asia Liverpool are the number 1 club followed by MUFC but Arsenal has a very strong following .
The Arsenal Supporters Club in Singapore which was founded in 2004 by Mr n Mrs Herd and went Official in 2007 ,has 500 paying members which probably makes it the largest Supporters club in the country.
There are about 10 members attending the Chelsea match.
