Agree totally.


Didn't go to Edinburgh because I know from going to a Scotland v Wales match how poor the atmosphere was & what a nightmare the journey can be.

Can't say I will be all that bothered next year

I prefer the stadium in edinburgh to cardiff but overall i think cardiff is better as the ground is right next to the city so everything is more accessable

Thought the stadium was miles better than millenium, loads to do when got in there ( games for kids etc, plenty more choice in foods and drinks. Where else can u go and have a chicken jalfrezzi with nan bread while watching game.

Stadium itself was very good, good food and liked how you could just walk around outside. However, i thought the area around the ground was crap not a patch on Cardiff, i also thought it was a lot harder to access than Cardiff. Cardiff was straight off the motorway onto a park and ride and your there, Murrayfield was much harder having to go through the city centre with a lack of signs for the ground, in fact i didnt see any. Overall i prefer Cardiff for the day away from rugby ie restaurants and bars, but i prefer Murrayfield when watching rugby, no roof (although maybe a bit of a bummer in bad weather) and being able to move around outside the stadium in between/ during games.

I'm setting up a poll, but for me of the 2 Cardiff is a definite winner.

Murrayfield stadium was a great ground, but Cardiff was sooooo much better due to the ground being more central to the city centre. We stayed at Haymarket and had about a 20 minute walk to the ground, with very little on the way (pubs n food venues etc). Although the stuff set up within the ground was good

Once we left the ground and headed back the City is that vast that the atmosphere was lost, we went into pubs with no fans around....where did 60,000 people go.

The drive back today was horrendous, when we approached the Lakes we hit queing traffic and it remained bad until this side of Preston, due to roadworks and traffic leaving the Lakes after the Bank Holiday weekend.

Enjoyed the weekend but for me its Cardiff everytime.
