What does supporting Arsenal look like when kick-off is at 3AM? 🔴⚪

In Episode 2 of Global Gooners, Johnny is joined by Will from Arsenal Hong Kong to discover what it takes to build an Arsenal community thousands of miles from North London.

We hear Will's Arsenal story, talk about the supporters' club and Arsenal's visit to Hong Kong, and discover the incredible preparation that goes into a match day with lights, sound, smoke machines, flags and even teaching supporters new Arsenal chants.

We also talk about the Arsenal of today, including Tzolis, Bruno and the start of our title attack.

Different cities. Different cultures. Different time zones. Same Arsenal.

🌍 Global Gooners — telling the stories of Arsenal supporters around the world.

Arsenal is our football club. Goonerviews is the community.

Welcome to The Goonerviews Podcast where we tell the stories of Arsenal supporters and supporters' clubs from around the world.

For Episode 1, Johnny is joined by Mark from Bay Area Gooners 🇺🇸 in San Francisco.

Mark tells us how his journey supporting Arsenal began, how Bay Area Gooners was formed, what it takes to build an official Arsenal supporters' club and what matchday looks like thousands of miles away from North London.

We also talk about the friendships and community that have grown around the club, following Arsenal from the United States, and why your postcode should never determine how "real" an Arsenal supporter you are.

🎙️ In this episode:

• Mark's Arsenal story
• How Bay Area Gooners started
• How to build an Arsenal supporters' club
• Arsenal matchdays in San Francisco
• Supporting Arsenal from the USA
• The importance of community in football
• And, of course, plenty of Arsenal conversation along the way

⚠️ A quick note about Episode 1

This was our first Global Gooners recording and we encountered some technical issues that affected parts of the audio/video quality.

We considered not releasing it, but ultimately the conversation and Mark's story represent exactly why we started Goonerviews in the first place.

We'll learn. We'll improve. But the people and their stories will always come first.
