Supporter of the week 5

 


Following on in our Supporter(s) of the Week we give you Alison Brown (known to some as Ellie's Mum). On thinking about it, we probably bump into her (and Alison) more at away games than at Scotstoun!

Check out the photos.
FAVOURITE GROUND :
Racing 92 ground, well it means a weekend in Paris and has been a happy hunting ground in previous years with Warriors winning twice over there, champagne was partaken after the game! Haven’t been to the new ground yet but have a weekend in Paris booked for October which we hope will coincide with a Finn home game
BEST EXPERIENCE :
Would have to be the Pro 12 final in Belfast, we actually bought our flights and booked accommodation 6 weeks before the final, very nervous semi-final with DTH’s last minute try taking us to the final but felt very smug when we qualified….never in doubt. Atmosphere was second to none, where the chant of ‘We are Warriors’ was born’ (Editor:debate starts here LOL). Second best would be the Leicester game where we won 43-0, we were running out of things to say to the Leicester supporters at the game without sounding patronising!
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A GLASGOW SUPPORTER:
It means you have resilience; we’ve been supporters since the Hughenden days! It means belonging to a club that is very family orientated. The players are all very approachable and interact well with the fans. . the players signing autographs for the kids (and some grown ups) after the game is a really nice touch.
IF YOU WEREN'T A GLASGOW SUPPORTER WHO WOULD YOU SUPPORT:
Exeter or Racing for Jonny and Finn……tough one when they were in the European Final but Ellie had no doubt……Jonny all the way.
WHAT DO YOU MISS :
The atmosphere of the East Stand for sure, chatting to the players after a game and also the opportunity to travel somewhere nice to support the Warriors. Those weekends away to European grounds are a loss for the players and supporters
