Alan’s trip to Ibrox Stadium

In August 2014 we were contacted by a lady named Jodie McNair regarding an ‘extra smile’ treat. Jodie is a Bluecoats volunteer at Ranger’s Football Club within the family stand and had spotted on our site that one of our Pals, Alan S, was a fan of Glasgow Rangers. She wanted to try and arrange for Alan and his parents to enjoy a day out as guests at Ibrox Stadium.

We thought this was a wonderful idea and Jodie then set about contacting her manager to finalise details. Jodie’s manager was keen to get involved and also thought it was a great idea, so we contacted Alan’s parents to sort out a potential date.

Alan and his parents received an invitation to be the Special Guests of the family section Bluecoats at Ibrox Stadium on 8th November 2014 for the match against Falkirk. Alan’s mum told us they had a fantastic day!

“We arrived at Ibrox and were met and taken into the main building. We went in to a huge room and Alan was given a ball and lots of signed pictures. We got to meet a few players and he got to meet his favourite player, Kenny Miller! We then got taken up to the trophy room to have a look around and there was lots and lots to see with loads of trophies there. After that we all went to the dug out where the players sit and Alan got to sit on their chairs – they were pretty comfy! Finally, we went up to the stand to watch the game. Alan was mighty happy as his favourite player scored a goal and Rangers won 3-0 against Falkirk.”

Here is a photo of Alan meeting his favourite player, Kenny Miller!

 

We would like to say a huge thank you to Jodie McNair, her manager, and everyone at Ibrox, for their time and hard work in organising this special extra smiles treat for Alan.
