After 2-day bus trip, Ticats fan reports from Regina

Hamilton's Jeff May arrives in Regina for the Grey Cup 1:32

After a 40-plus-hour bus journey, Hamilton's Jeff May arrived in Regina at about dawn on Saturday morning.

He embarked on the mostly sleepless trek with a goal in mind: get to this Sunday's Grey Cup any way he could. An ardent Hamilton Tiger-Cats fan, May, 51, will be in the crowd cheering on his beloved Tabbies as they face off against CFL West champs the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Calling just hours after he reached Regina — where he was greeted by temperatures that felt like -35 C with the wind chill — May told CBC Hamilton about the bumpy two-day bus ride, meeting people from around the country who are making the Grey Cup pilgrimage, and the prairie hospitality he's encountered during his first morning in Riderville.

"I walked into a doughnut shop full of Rider fans about to watch the [Grey Cup] parade and started booing them, and that created a lot of laughter," said May.

"It's all friendly here and we're all fellow CFL fans. Everyone has the same attitude, that it's going to be fun for all."

CBC Hamilton will check in with May again on Sunday, the morning of the Grey Cup.
