Arsenal America wants Gooner nation to keep growing in the USofA.  So in 2011 we are launching some ambitious initiatives to create a bigger and stronger community.  One goal one is to increase the number of Arsenal America Likes on our Facebook Fan Page.  Right now we have approximately 480, but we want 10,000! 

What is Gooners 10,000!?

Gooners 10k! is our effort to get 10k Gooners to Like our  Facebook Fan Page by August 2011.  We know there are 10k Gooners out there in America on Facebook. We talk to you on Arsenal Threads.  We see you on blog comments all over the “interwebs.”  We run into you in pubs and on the street.  Come join us!  We want Arsenal America to be the biggest and best Supporters Club outside those hallowed grounds in N5.  Also, the more Gooners, the more great opportunities we can offer.

I’m Arsenal Till I Die!!! How can I help?

Easy!  Please just share the Arsenal America Facebook Fan Page with your fellow Gooners and ask them to Like our official Fan Page. Whether at the pub, over Twitter or IM, in text messages or just when talking to each: let Gooners know about Arsenal America and the Facebook Fan Page.  Just be sure it’s the official Arsenal America Facebook Fan Page, not the Group Page.  To make it easy, you can copy and paste the link below into your Facebook status to send people to the Arsenal America Facebook Page:

Every week we’ll be pushing this on Twitter and Facebook too.  So please, share us with your fellow Gooners and get them involved too!

Why Facebook?

If there’s one thing Arsenal America has learned, it’s that the Gooner community only gets better the more we can connect with one another to talk, share and love all things Arsenal.  Because Gooner nation is built by all of us and our shared love of Arsenal FC.

We want to connect with you and we know that Facebook is one of the best ways to share information about upcoming events, giveaways, or even special offers.  Yes, we said giveaways and special offers -it’s a big year!  So, we are launching Gooners 10k!

What if I don’t like Facebook or I’m not on Facebook?

Stay tuned!  If you aren’t a big fan of Facebook, don’t worry, we have more initiatives coming (including Twitter (@arsenalamerica), email subscriptions and memberships).  There’s a place for everyone  in Arsenal America.

Thank you Gooners!

Without you, there is no Arsenal America.  We know that.  That’s why we want to connect with you.  Us Gooners have to stay together. Thank you for all of your help.  We really appreciate it.
