“We’re delighted to partner with Saint Lucia, a world-renowned destination with a rich history and culture, that share our values of community and an always forward mindset. We want every Gooner, whether they’re in Islington or Saint Lucia, whether they’ve been supporting us for fifty years or five, to feel and see themselves in our club. This is an exciting partnership that gives us this opportunity and will help fuel our ambitions of growth and success.”
