What a great trip this was......
briefly...
beer friday night at the bakers, bacon butties on sat morn, beer and banter all the way there, and back. and curry and chips after (but i had to leave and missed that), and a rather good match too.
I can't think of a better trip i have had in many a year
Thanks Steve for all the work organising it, roll on Paris!!!
i'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy
Yeah Thanks Steve and Ernie, excellent trip brilliant atmosphere would definately go with them again, i also had three failed attempts to leave the bakers on sun nite was supposed to go at 8.30 and left at 10.00, all i could hear was sure you'll have another one lol me and my wife nearly moved in lol. food was brill, Craic was great, plenty of entertainment on the way.come on Paris
Big thanks to Steve and Ernie for a great trip to the HC Final. A lot of effort went in to make it all work smoothly. Looking forward to making the Bakers Arms our 'watering hole' next season when we travel across and stay over. Recommend the Westfield House Hotel in Blaby (5 min walk to the Bakers) for a place you can put your head too.

It was an enormous pleasure, and well worth the effort, to put together the trip for so many nice people. Since taking on my Tigers season ticket I have made many friends. Organising the trips from the Bakers has not only increased that circle, but also given us a vehicle to generate extra revenue for MHF.
Just want to add my congratulations to Steve and Ernie for organising the Bakers Arms trip to Murrayfield.It was my first trip with them and it was very enjoyable with bacon butties to send us off on our journey and a great atmosphere on board the coach including Steve's new tigers song for which he gave out songsheets for us all to join in! Also enjoyed Steve's song acknowledging tigers win at Thomond park over Munster,very entertaining and very generous as Munster are his team,well done Steve.
I can't take the credit for the Tigers song I sung, that was all the work of Pete Oddy, he also printed out the song sheets. I only sang it as in my experience Tigers fans don't appear to know any songs Anyway he donated a tenner to MHF for me being the 1st person to sing it in public. As for the song about Tigers win at Thomond Park, a guy offered me £5 for MHF to sing it over the mic, I replied with 'get a £100 from the rest of the people on the coach and I will'. My lovey assistabt Bianca then raced through the coach and within minutes had collected £140. I couldn't back out then, the rest is history. It has been filmed I believe, and at some point no doubt will end up on youtube.
Yet again a fun filled entertaining tour...Thanks again Ernie and Steve for all your hard work in sorting it out for us all. I know you do a hell of a lot of work behind the scenes that most people dont see. It was a pleasure helping out and a pleasure travelling with you all.
The Tigers song was ace, I am just so grateful you didnt do it naked Steve!! (Lve ya really!!)
And for those of you that I roped in to the winning poker formular, remember its Snap...Win...Split! (Although I did play poker back at the Bakers and lost, badly....where were you guys when I needed you)
I still cant talk about the result but wife I and 2 mates all enjoyed the trip. My fiver got the ball rolling for 'the tigers won at thomand park' and yes there is a video in the boucher household of steve's dulset tones!!! appearing at a cinema near you!!!!!
