Supporter of the Week 13

 Now that the dust has settled and you are sitting back relaxing, cup of tea/coffee on the go, toast almost ready (other breakfast choices are available) and have a massive smile on your face have a read at our next Supporter of the Week post.

This week we give you Pamela White who is also one of the Committee, a North Stander and chief Twitter!
Enjoy....
FAVOURITE GROUND, BAR SCOTSTOUN, AND WHY?
Is a difficult one, it’s a close tie between Kingspan, Belfast which was home for me for a few years, and Montpellier’s home ground. Both hold some really good memories for me.
BEST EXPERIENCE AT A GAME, MOMENT ETC, HOME OR AWAY?
Again a tough call, obviously our win against Munster at Kingspan in the 2015 league final, but reaching the European Champions Cup Quarter final against Saracens in 2017 was a spectacular trip, the sun was shining, the Prosecco flowing and the atmosphere even after losing was priceless. It really defines the rugby community at large. There’s also our win against Racing 92 in December 2016, meeting Dan Carter and seeing our boys so confidently take him and the Racing92 squad of 2016 on and win was amazing. But the absolute best part of these trips is catching up with old friends and making new ones.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A WARRIORS' SUPPORTER?
It sounds like a cliche but it’s the atmosphere, it’s the people & there’s nothing else like it. Travelling alone to games be it league or European, you’re never alone for long, a Glasgow supporter never travels alone.
IF YOU WEREN'T A WARRIORS' SUPPORTER, WHO WOULD YOU SUPPORT?
That’s a tough call, it could be Ulster after my years in Belfast, I saw Tommy Seymour play his first and last game for Ulster along with his first and last with Glasgow. Another option could be Racing92, their style of play is very like Glasgow’s.
WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST ABOUT THESE TIMES?
I miss seeing the supporters the most I think. The atmosphere we create at Scotstoun is something else and I can’t wait to be able to make some noise at Scotstoun! I already feel sorry for our first opponents for that game! I miss getting to travel for rugby too, getting to new places like Montpellier at Christmas, or Racing in Paris and getting the opportunity to support the boys on trips like these is pretty special.
