Laurane Williams who is considered to be the Blue Jay of the group because of her cheerful spirit and easygoing nature, also expressed delight at having started coming ‘Super Friday’, “before this year I was not much of a football fan, I would watch a few game on television and that was about it but since I started coming football this year I have totally fallen in love with the atmosphere, the vibe and of course local football”.
“The games have been very exciting, especially when Defence Force or Ma Pau are playing and the atmosphere at games are really electric, I feel safe and comfortable and so I can really enjoy myself at games”, the Chaguanas diva ended in her own exciting style, “Waka Waka Digicel Pro League, shine shine Digicel Pro League,” she translated.
“I learn that from James Saunders on TV6,” she with a mischievous smile.
‘Super Friday’ have not only attracted young ladies but young men have also started following local football two should young men are Trinicity resident Jevon Brassey and Randy Griffith son of former ‘Strike Squad’ member Elliot Allen.
These two young though not connected by no bond but their love for football was resounding in their response when asked of the reason for being at the games, “football is our passion but we never know that local football was so exciting and the atmosphere so charged” they said almost in unison, “so this year as the games are being advertised on the radio and television we decided to come and see some of the games and well, you will be seeing us every ‘Super Friday’”
