Has to be Cardiff for me. Better with stadium in centre of town. Far better atmosphere. Roof closed so no chance of getting wet. Fans would not have stayed for other games if it was raining.

Cardiff is better imo, but hotels are all ready getting booked for Edinburgh
i will be going

The event was poor due to the facilities at Murrayfield the poor access and poor service in the bars was very poor indeed.

For those that stayed over the nightlife i did not think was a patch on Cardiff, the bouncers were far too OTT about access especially for groups.

I did have a very good weekend but i think it was more down the the company than the event, which is a shame.

Tried to spy the hummers but could not see you we were in the bottom right section of the lover North came through more central but could not see you sadly.

Can't comment on Cardiff as i never been there,but my impression of Edinburgh and Murryfield are all good,Can't believe some fans are saying that we never sang thought it was a great atmosphere while our game was on.
Only down side to the Ground was having to go outside for drinks and food which i was very surprised at.

Went on a bit of a pub crawl saturday night and was just like doing westgate run really which was good fun and even bumped in to Justin Morgan! which was a laugh.

Would go again next year without a doubt.

haven't done cardiff so nothing to compare, the venue seemed sparce at the north end of the stand outside, only beer and food stalls, and food wasn't brill,
the stadium is top class,
after the long trek up I would do it again with the company I spent with

We were all just above you to the left Great win for Wigan Jonh are you going to follow it up on Sat

Whenever i have been to Cardiff or Wembley they have the service at the concession stalls running like a well oiled machine, very little queing time regardless of how many are wanting a pint, right there in the concourse. Having to get out of the stadium walk down a flight of stairs and to the clearing behind the ground was really poor i felt, made it very difficult to get a 20 pint round back to the seats all in one piece.

Nice stadium inside although it could have down with a mower running over it but very dated on the outside and this really let it down for me.

I have no idea because in all honestly i cannot remember any of the Wigan game!

Wakefield do look to have hit one of there form dips sadly, but if they cannot buck this trend for the cup then they never will.

We can't compare with Cardiff.
Our hotel was way out on the outskirts and we wasted loads of time getting to the ground/city centre.
Found our way around.

The bloke on the bus was helpful

We called in that sainsburys as we took a short cut and the lass(y) on the till didn't know there was anything on so it wasn't that high profile.

Overall won't be rushing to go next year

No atmosphere really came across on tv well imo, but heard from people who went that is was good.

Most people I have spoke to say Cardiff is miles better and will not rush back to Scotland next year.

It did look quite bad though on tv with all the empty seats.
