Tell us about your background

I'm a talkative, opinionated local government worker whose entire life revolves around Doncaster Rovers Football Club. I grew up in Doncaster, but moved to Gainsborough in April this year to be closer to my work. So I guess that makes me an exile of sorts now I'm betraying my Yorkshire roots?? 

How long have you supported Rovers?

Quite literally since birth, going to my first away game in my pushchair. The first season I remember was 2003/04, with my fandom coinciding with the meteoric rise up the leagues in the late 00s. The football club is responsible for basically all the best days of my life. Nowadays, I am very involved in the supporters' clubs - I run buses for Paul Mayfield, organise social events and represent the club at awards etc. I love it.

Who is your all-time favourite Rovers player?

It's a toss up between Neil Sulivan and Paul Keegan.

Where do you sit at the Eco-Power Stadium?

In the West stand, right near the away end and I have done since I was about eight.

How long have you been part of the Supporters/Shadow Board?

Since November 2021

Why are you part of the Shadow Board?

Because I feel as a woman in football I need to represent those like me at a high level to ensure we get the best treatment possible.
