June 11 2003

We know already that she likes Robbie Russell, watches her home games from the East Stand and doesn't have much time for Phil Christophers. But here is some stuff about Meriel that we may not know....

Real Name: Meriel Vincent

Occupation: Student/groom

Favourite: Movie(s): Shawshank Redemption

TV Programme(s): Bob the Builder (only half kidding I'm afraid)

Book(s): Angela's Ashes

How long supporting Sarries: Nominally, since birth; seriously, about 3 years

First ever Sarries game: at Bramley Road, 2nd XV match against Northampton sometime in 1999 I think

Best ever Sarries game (Excluding 1998 cup final): Tiggers wildcard final, for sheer excitement (and nerves!) and a fabulous atmosphere.

Favourite Sarries experience off pitch (Excluding 1998 cup final): Apart from the wildcard final, probably the Newcastle home match in the PPCC this season, actually - tiny crowd, pretty rubbish rugby for the 1st half at least, but a great "all in this together" vibe which the players obviously appreciated.

How did you start supporting Sarries: my dad had supported nominally for years and we eventually went as a family to the aforementioned 2nd XV game - Dippy took us under his wing and we were devout Sarries from that moment on.

What are your non-rugby pastimes: Horse riding (despite spending what feels like the majority of my time not actually on top of the horse), music, and my cats :-)
Most likely to say: Come on Robbieeeeeeee!
Least likely to say: I love Phil Christophers
Tell us something about you we don't know: I can get my feet behind my head, but can't touch my toes... go figure!!
