My son and David Fitter.

Following my posts regarding trying to get a signed Force shirt for my wee boy a Sunday times journalist got in touch with me via Coach. He was interested in doing a story about Mac my son and how he was a member 4 months before he was born. Nick, the journalist also wanted to arrange a photo with some of the players too and set up a time for last Friday down at Rugby Park.

Anyway, my wife, Mac and I rocked up to find another couple there with their baby, Cameron, who is actually the youngest Force member. David Fitter was the Force player who the two boys were going to have their picture taken with and after being introduced to him I found him to be a real nice guy. I also managed to grab a hold of John Mitchell who signed a first match program I brought along.

Following 20 to 30 minutes of taking photos with David, who was very good with the babies considering he had to hang on to both for quite a long time, we were interviewed by Nick. While hanging around to chat to Nick, Peter O'Meara came up and introduced himself to my wife and I and we ended up having a long chat with him. I was immensely impressed with Peter's friendly manner and as he left, my crack at trying to find out who the new back is going to be just received a grin and a shake of the head. Worth a go anyway.

Nick had told me that the article would be in Sunday's issue of the Times but no show, so I guess it may make it in next week.

Thanks to the Force and Nick for doing this for my son…….the photo of him being held like a rugby ball by David Fitter will look great along with the signed shirt and programme in the frame.

Great stuff, I was wondering how it all went! Did you take any of you own snaps - Sunday Times will probably own the rights to any they took.

Lets hope Mac doesn't end up an Aussie Rules player (not that there's anything wrong with that ;) )

Great stuff TEF, will make for a great photo on the traditional 21st Birthday "Wall of Shame"!
Lucky that Mac didn't turn into a Big Mac for David, he's a rather large unit!

That's great to hear TEF, as others have said though, need pics. :)

Does this mean we can call Mac - Junior Burger? Hes not quite Big Mac just yet

Can someone post the article when it does appear - dont get the Sunday Times here

Good stuff TEF. Nice to see that the guys are so approachable.

See the Gallery for a picture
