Posted: Mon May 07, 2007 10:21 pm Post subject: A Big Thank You |
 |
|
To Frank and the bus drivers after today.
I thought Frank did exceptionally well to organise three coaches with over 100 people on, to collect the money, organise the 'random village' that we turned up at (I still don't know where I was!) and etc etc.
Also thought the Driver was excellent and had a good bit of banter with the passengers. It's a shame a few lads didn't show him and Frank the respect they deserved, but let's not dwell on that.
Once again a big THANK YOU, and here's to a number of enjoyable away trips next season. |

A huge thank you to Frank and the York Minstermen for an excellent trip! I was very impressed with the organisation and I certainly appreciate all the hard work that must have gone into it.
I definitely would be a lot more downhearted if the day around the match had not been so enjoyable. I'm just upset that I won't get to see anyone now until I get back to English soil in September.  |

I agree well done for organising the coaches. I found it funny that Frank had rung and warned 2 of the pubs where we stopped that we would be turning up, so most of us went in the other one . And then to top it all off the land lady asked who was in charge so we said it was a guy who was with us and she started having a wright go at him for not ringing up.

Well done Frank, like yorkshireandproud says though, it's just a shame one or two didn't treat you with the respect you deserved.
Also fair play to the 'singers' on coach 1, even if the choice of songs left a lot to be desired, and the fact that for a group of lads, there were far too many high-pitched voices - and that was without Herman singing!

The text song we received from coach 1 was comical about us on coach 3 being slow 
Coach 3 was a lot of fun

What was that strange sign on coach 1 on the return journey? 
THANKS to Frank for the overall organisisation of the trip and TOTP for his stewardship on coach 3. Well done for ensuring that it was an alcohol free coach . Lucozade anyone?

Great show all concerned, thanks.
Hope this will prompt more people to partake in these days out in future.

The coach journey back certainly put a smile on my face after such an awful defeat. Particularly enjoyed waving Mouse's sign that he 'acquired' from Christie Park at the other coaches, Morecambe fans and lorry drivers (can't remember what it said, something about going on the pitch?) and serenading (sp?) a loved up Tommi with some classic boyband tunes. The flying sock was funny as f**k too, although Dan Kett might not agree . And in The Dog Inn we have officially found the greatest pub name EVER
Thanks Frank, and everyone who helped organise the trip.

It did say something about anyone going on the pitch could be prosecuted or something like that - very naughty but highly amusing

Will that sign cost £2K to replace?

Lack of Sat Nav, but if the Sat Nav on coach 3 is anything to go by.....'nuff said. Nice view of Blackpoot tower though

I was talking about the trip from Longridge to Lancaster Services and our rendezvous with the police escort. (Our coach also had a severe lack of speed, the limiter stuck at 100kph )

I'd also like to add my thanks to the many already expressed, not only for today but for all the other trips this season and before and the attempted trips that Frank's tried to arrange, let's hope that all those new faces realise that YMM travel is an excellent way to make those away journeys.

Yes, I can only echo what everyone else has said
Thank you for taking the much needed initiative needed to offer a viable, and excellent value for money, alternative to TnB for such a big game. Organising coaches for more than 100 people and making sure everyone had paid etc was one hell of a task.
PS would AD/IT/Daley/whoever's camera it was care to share any dog inn pics with the rest of us?
