点评:This was, hands down, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, attending Ibrox as a VIP serving person as part of their Armed Forces Day. Nobody celebrates the efforts of the Armed Forces like Rangers do.
Arriving at the front door around 2.5 hours before kick-off, my colleague and I were welcomed with open arms into the iconic main foyer, where Jack Butland was signing autographs and legend John Brown was meeting and greeting. We were led up the staircase into the board room, where an afternoon tea was provided as well as an extensive selection of Tunnocks goods (the family of course being life-long Rangers fans).
During our time in here, the board members came in and introduced themselves and we were blessed with the presence of John Greig, arguably one of Rangers’ greatest ever players. Genuine boyhood dream stuff! Things only got better …..
After a group photo with Barry Ferguson, all of us chanting his name, we were ushered into the Blue Room and given access to a finger buffet of high quality food and unlimited beverages. Standing starstruck, legend after legend entered the room (Durie, Durrant, Hateley, Knox, Moore and Souness to name but a few). We even mingled with some veteran players from as early as the 50’s - memorable stuff that we’ll forever be thankful for!
We then got Director’s Box seats for the full match (the less said about the actual game the better). However, at half-time we were once again fed, this time with amazing Butchers Pies and hot drinks. In amongst all of this we were also offered the chance to visit the prestigious trophy room.
As the match finished, we walked out of the stadium with grins from ear to ear. Personally, I can’t thank the club enough - the loveliest of staff who couldn’t have done more for us. We were treated like royalty and I’ll forever be grateful for the experience. The best club in the world for me - no competition!
翻译:毫无疑问,这是我经历过的最棒的经历之一,作为VIP现役人员前往埃布罗克斯球场,参加他们的武装部队日活动。没有人像流浪者队那样,如此重视武装部队的贡献。
开球前大约两个半小时,我和同事到达球场前门,受到了热情的欢迎,走进标志性的主门厅。杰克·巴特兰在那里签名,传奇球星约翰·布朗也在那里迎接我们。我们被引领上楼梯,进入董事会会议室,那里提供下午茶以及种类繁多的Tunnocks商品(当然,这家人都是流浪者队的终身球迷)。
在我们待在这里的时候,董事会成员进来做了自我介绍,我们很荣幸地见到了约翰·格雷格,他可以说是流浪者队历史上最伟大的球员之一。这真是儿时的梦想!一切只会越来越好……
我们和巴里·弗格森合影留念,所有人都高呼他的名字。之后,我们被领进了蓝厅,享用了丰盛的自助餐,包括高品质的美食和无限畅饮的饮料。我们目瞪口呆地站着,一位又一位传奇巨星(杜里、杜兰特、哈特利、诺克斯、摩尔和索内斯等等)走进了房间。我们甚至还和一些早在50年代就效力于球队的老将们交流——这些经历令人难忘,我们将永远心存感激!
之后,我们获得了观看整场比赛的导演包厢座位(关于比赛本身,越少说越好)。然而,在中场休息时,我们再次享用了丰盛的餐点,这次是美味的肉铺派和热饮。除此之外,我们还获得了参观著名奖杯陈列室的机会。
比赛结束后,我们笑得合不拢嘴地走出了球场。我个人对俱乐部感激不尽——他们拥有最友善的员工,为我们提供了无微不至的关怀。我们受到了皇室般的待遇,我将永远感激这次经历。对我来说,这是世界上最好的俱乐部——无与伦比!
