| Will and the Pars |
Today was our first Scottish Premier League football game, with our local Dunfermline Pars battling Hibernian of Edinburgh. When we arrived in Scotland I signed Will up for the Young Pars, a youth fan club for the team. Christine, the person in charge of the Young Pars, arranged for a special pre-game tour, complementary tickets to the game, and player introductions for Will. It was quite the VIP tour, as Will and I saw the team room (meeting and hang-out space with television), and most importantly a visit to the locker room to meet the team. It was about 15 minutes before their pre-game meeting and the team was nice enough to visit with Will and take a group picture with him. He got to meet every player and many coaches, even spending a little extra time with Pars' star Martin Hardie, who was getting some medical care before the match. Will even got an autographed ball from the team. A huge thank you to Christine and the Pars, it was extremely kind of them to let us behind the scenes before their match. As far as the game went, Dunfermline rallied from an 0-2 deficit in the first half to tie the match 2-2 on two terrific second-half goals.
