This season’s fourth edition of the Gooner goes on sale tomorrow evening against Hull. Print subscribers should receive their copies in the post tomorrow. The issue – featuring exclusive material unavailable elsewhere - includes the traditional free Gooner calendar. The subject of 2014’s version is ‘Wow Signings’ – inspired by Mesut Özi’s arrival earlier this season. Apart from that you have the usual 48 pages of writing. All for £2.50. In tough times for print media and especially fanzines, The Gooner needs your support if we are going to remain around for the long term. So please pick up a copy from one of our sellers while they are braving the elements.
The special feature this issue takes its cue from our calendar theme. So on your wall for 12 months, you are looking at ‘Wow Signings’, whilst in the issue you can read about ‘Signings that made me groan’ as 12 Gooner writers detail the arrivals that didn’t exactly thrill them. Interestingly enough, one player makes both lists. We have a couple of contributions over for the groan signings which we will run on the site before the Everton and Chelsea home matches.
Elsewhere in the issue there are features on the following…
The January Window
Arsenal moving in the right direction
Dortmund Away – Trip Report
Kanu’s time at Arsenal remembered
The stresses of getting a ticket for the 2006 Champions League Final
The Arsenal Programme Through the Years – 1973-74
Ian Wright
Could Gooners replicate Dortmund’s yellow wall?
Nacho Monreal
Arsenal’s stadium as a concert venue
What would happen if a gay player ‘came out’?
plus all the usual regulars, although the Highbury Spy is on sabbatical this month, just as well looking at the letters pages.
The new issue of The Gooner will be on sale at the home matches against Hull, Everton, Chelsea and Cardiff and can be bought online here.
