The Dover Gooners have been in existence since May 1994, when 4 members of the Padfield family travelled to Copenhagen to watch the cup winners cup final, with a banner carrying our name into Europe for the first time. Over the next 6 years this unofficial supporters club expanded to 9 members. In the summer of 2004 we became officially affiliated to Arsenal FC and our membership has grown rapidly to over 80. The main aim of the club is to draw together like minded supporters of Arsenal FC in the Dover Area. The committee meets regularly at the Boars Head, visit our websites for dates when these meetings take place.

Scotland

In 2004 a group of fervent Arsenal supporters, 'mainly Scotsmen' got together and decided that Scotland needed an official Arsenal supporters club (The Jock Gooners). This season is a learning process for the club but we have already attended matches wearing our kilts & Arsenal tops. We already have 50 plus members and are growing daily. We are mainly based in Edinburgh, but we also have a large contingent in Aberdeen and the North East and we hope to reach over to Glasgow and the West Coast.

Due to our ever growing membership the clubs meetings have now been relocated to the Mercat Bar, West Maitland Street, Edinburgh. We also meet there to watch Arsenal games on one of the bars forty two screens. Children are welcome until 8pm.

If you would like info. on ASSC please contact Fraser Mackenzie 07834 957 392.
