Arriving tonight, staying at Travelodge Leicester Central, taking in Saints v Castres as a warm up first :lol: Two of us in the H&B terrace, hoping to get in at around 4pm to get a good spot :fleg:
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Eight of us "ex-pats" heading there early tomorrow from various parts of Engerland for a pre-match curry/drinks/mini school rugby team reunion and then we're in the GNC stand. Sounds like the terrace is the place to be but we'll do our best to represent.

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in Ulster now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Welford Road.

It was Blues we beat this season on St Crispin's day, but I'll stand and fight wi ye at Welford Road the marra.

2 more not wishing to have cheap manhoods reporting for duty yer Maj!

(It was actually just a week before the anniversary of Agincourt that we bested Les Francais in Montpellier - a happy occasion for the band of brothers in Franceland for that one.)
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

Just arrived via the Birmingham red eye. Weather pleasant and beer cold. The Camponile was the cheapest hotel I could find but not too badly placed for the city centre. H & B terrace for us via their website. :fleg: :fleg:
