Meet the SCMS Gooners
The United States is a big country. Traveling between cities can take hours – and sometimes even days. So what is an Arsenal fan to do when he finds himself nine hours away from his home pub on a matchday? Expand his territory of course!
Our latest stop on our tour of Arsenal America branches takes us to the Deep South, where fans in South Carolina AND Mississippi can now get together to watch Arsenal in style. And if you are a visitor, don’t be shy! As branch manager Dave Stanbra says:
“Southern Arsenal hospitality is in full effect! Drop us a line if you are in town.”
