Our ticket officer, Rick B has scored a major coup. Check out his post from the Arsenal forum on the Big Soccer message boards:
“As most of you know by now from looking at the pictures and reading other threads, I have with me the FA CUP Replica from the 2005 season which we won by beating Man U on penalties. I also have the runners up trophy from the 1995 Super Cup which we lost to AC Milan. Other memorabilia I have left secure in Washington as I was unable to transport it around the US with me.
The club finally agreed that we were able to take the trophy and other important items from the museum which is obviously fantastic news and I know that those who have seen it and lifted it already were surprised. So to give everyone in the cities I am visiting the chance to see it it will be on display and with me at the following places and dates”:

Wow.
Thats fantastic.
Rick B…
You know you are welcome in Boston!
I will try to get to NYC on Feb.10th for that meet up.
Is there at TIME at Nevada Smiths?

There’s no time as of yet. However, we will be playing the NY Spurs @ Pier 40 that morning at 8 AM. I’d guess considering that Rick’s flight gets in around 5:30 AM that day, that he’ll want to go back after the match and get some sleep before going down to the pub.

Just keep us (me) in the loop!
thanx

Rick made a stop down here in New Orleans. I got to see the Cup, watch the Arsenal take it to Newcastle, and have a few pints, great day! Thanks for making it down here man.

Plans are being made for the evening of Monday, February 4th in San Francisco. I will post and update here and on Big Soccer when the plans are definite. Any questions, you can always shoot me an email at sanfran AT arsenalamerica DOT com.

Any chance you would make it to Chicago. I know the Chicago gooners at the Globe would welcome you.

You just missed him in Chicago - he was there on Saturday.

I think it’s high time for this lazy gooner to finally make it out to a meet up. In fact, I might need to let a couple of guys at work know, as well. Saturday won’t get here fast enough!

This is great; with some luck I can make both Southern California appearances.

Where in Anaheim?

Had a chance to get photographed with the cup on 2/2 at Trinity Hall in Dallas. I would advise all Gooners to make the trip. Rick is tops for bringing it here in the States.
