Before I begin with details of the new issue of The Gooner and our free 2015 calendar, a quick plug for my co-author Alex Fynn, who will be signing copies of our most recent book Arsène and Arsenal The Quest to Rediscover Past Glories in the Tollington pub on the junction of Hornsey Road and Seven Sisters Road (200m from the stadium) before the match this evening from 5pm. If you haven’t bought one, it will be available at a special price, and if you have, but want yours signed, simply take it along and Alex will do the honours.
Okay, back to the business in hand and the new issue of The Gooner (247) is on sale this evening for the usual £2.50, but on top of your usual 48 pages, there is also a free 16 page 2015 calendar, and it’s a bit special. This is because every month features an Arsenal related artwork from artists that featured in the recent exhibition collated by the Operation Arsenal Art collective at Piebury Corner. Amongst the subjects portrayed are Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, Dennis Bergkamp and Jens Lehmann.
Additionally, there are features on…
The Away Day Bug – What makes fans make the trek to watch Arsenal

A New Generation of Armchair Fans – Priced out supporters
