Supporter of the week 16

 Now that the dust has almost settled. Now that the nerves are back from overload. We get back to some kind of normality with this week's Supporter of the Week.

This week we give you Christine and Peter Ferguson, once from these here parts but now 'emigrated' to down south. Still with Warriors blue in their blood.
Enjoy.
Favourite Ground ...
We haven’t travelled much with Warriors but have enjoyed the few grounds we have visited.
Kingspan because that’s where we watched the mighty Glasgow Warriors win the Pro12 final.
Allianz because of the fantastic time we had with Saracen fans and our friends before, during and after the game.
Best experience...
Our first visit to Kingspan with David Settle to watch a Pro12 match.
On the way to the match went into the Errigle Arms, in full Warriors colours, to be met by a sea of red! Lots of laughter and shouts when we were spotted!
We went back after the game and had a great time with the Ulster fans ... that’s rugby!
What does it mean to be Warriors Supporter?
Pride in all our players, old and new. Proud to wear Warriors colours. Helped us make good friends when we moved to Glasgow.
If you weren’t Warriors supporters, who would you support?
Has to be our “local” team now we have moved to Derby ... Leicester Tigers.
What do you miss most?
Everything!
Everyone who sat round us in the main stand, atmosphere in the Clubhouse, excitement as the noise builds in Fortress Scotstoun, atmosphere in The Old Schoolhouse Fanzone.
But most of all the friends we made!



Supporter of the Week 15

 This week's Supporter of the Week is none other than our one and only Committee Member (Treasurer), travel companion and.......friend Beth Anderson.

P.S. some of the photos are good.
FAVOURITE GROUND, BAR SCOTSTOUN, AND WHY
Stade de Garland, Lyon for all sorts of reasons! Light festival in Lyon itself, most hidden supporters bar, best shop and merchandise but also their lovely fans. Honourable mentions for Racing 92 both old ground and new and Stade Rochelais.
BEST EXPERIENCE AT A GAME, MOMENT ETC., HOME OR AWAY
Toyota Stadium, Bloemfontein. First game in South Africa but definitely not the last. Hospitality was great and then invited into the Cheetah’s Den after the game with the team. Special evening in a great country.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A WARRIORS’ SUPPORTER
Catching up with friends, supporting the team no matter what and travelling the world to support them.
WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST ABOUT THESE TIMES
I mIss the atmosphere in The Clubhouse before the match and after, sitting in the North Stand with my friends shouting ‘advice’ to the touch judges. I miss everything and can’t wait to get back.
