linnyplant 303 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 My first time at NARSA Convention and it was absolutely superb.It was like one big happy Rangers family with every one getting on so well{unlike on here).There were so many highlights but for me, marching over the Golden Gate Bridge behind GPB was pretty awesome.I was on the open top bus that took the band to the bridge and they performed a few well known songs on the top of the bus and the locals stared on in amazement, they had never quite seen anything like it.The Convention night was also memorable and Craig Mathers gave an impressive speech as did Ally.I must give a special mention to Ally as he stood for over three hours getting photos taken with the fans and he was so sincere in his praise of the Rangers supporters.I really hope he can turn it round this season. It was a great opportunity to make new friends and catch up with old ones. I met so many guys from KP and Plantation and in particular caught up with my oldest pal Davy Currie.Davy was in fine form and it was great to see a true friend again.I roomed with my cousin Christines husband Alan Armour and we had a brilliant time and even had the opportunity to take in a gig at the Great American Music Hall to see Chuck Prophet who was superb. I met some great guys from the Fraserburgh Loyal but everyone you met was so friendly and it made you at times feel quite emotional about the love for our club.I would urge any Rangers fan who is thinking about going to a NARSA event to go for it .You wont be disappointed.WATP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 So many memories you have accumulated for a short period in time Bud Did you chance it with Chuck to say you saw him in Glasgow the other month and he was so good you had to come to his home city, that must have been a special night as I know what music means to you.A rather older KP guy you know well told me you got an upgrade on the flight out to San Fran.

Did indeed get upgrade on the flight and ended up sitting beside two Tims. I had my Rangers top on for the journey and had some good banter with them and a few bevvies. The stewardess who was a beautiful black woman from New York charged the Tims for their rounds but wouldn't taker a penny off me{no kidding}. She asked me who the Rangers were and I told her "the most successful soccer team in the world" She seemed to like that ,mind you my two tarrier friends nearly choked on their Buds. I also went to a baseball match; The San Francisco GIants versus Toronto Blue Jays. I am not a fan of baseball but it was a great event to go to. The Giants have just built a new stadium and it is pretty awesome. I was rooting for the Blue Jays as they played in blue jerseys and they won 4-0.There was something really cool about watching the game and having a few buds at the same timeNARSA Convention is in Toronto next year and then Redondo Beach in LA the following year I think.I will be defo going to one of them.You should try and come as well Ed.

Must have been non stop when over there, did you and Alan stay a few days longer or just straight back home.Just something magical about having the convention in San Fran.
