About us.
We are a group of Berwick Rangers supporters with a connection to St Andrews University. Founded by David Letham we are a combination of students and staff and a few family members thrown into the mix. Most of us are still in Fife but a few are further afield in such exotic location as Belfast, Newcastle and Lanarkshire. Every member has been to at least one match.
Why St Andrews Berwick Rangers Supporters? It's a question I'm often asked, and one I often ask myself too. It all started one rainy day when I created the website www.berwickranger.co.uk and it moved on from there. I'm frequently asked by a colleague whether it's serious or just a laugh. I tell him it's both: it started as a bit of fun, but I think that's the way it should be. Anyway, he's a Clyde fan...
But why Berwick? Well, my wife is from Berwick and I'd catch the odd game here and there when visiting family. We have a flat in Spittal and while down with a couple of friends I dragged them along to a game. It was such a success, that weekends away with friends are now based around Berwick Rangers fixtures (and beer, of course). Initially my friends were sceptical but the thought of beer and a cheap weekend away won them over. Everybody who has been to a Berwick game has enjoyed it. Gordon and Tom are now regulars, attending several games (home and, occasionally, away) And I can always rely on my father and my brother for a few games per season.
Forming St Andrews Berwick Rangers Supporters has allowed us to gather our support under one banner. As a random collection of individuals we'd been to several matches (including hospitality), sponsoring players, sponsored the match ball and contributed to the 1967 50th anniversary dinner. As a group we have presented an end of season award to Sean Brennan for his outstanding performance against Forfar. We also distributed sweets, branded with our logo, at the end of season game--I was the one in the Bear head--and donated money to the Berwick charities cup.
For 2017/18 our contributions will include taking out adverts on the perimeter wall and in the program, sponsoring a player, getting a black and gold bond number, and basically doing whatever we can to promote the club.
