Murrayfield v Millennium : Mon May 04, 2009 8:02 am  

For me the set up in Wales is far better, more pubs/clubs/food outlets within walking distance and a better atmosphere for the fans to mingle in.

Grounds, well the Mill is far better imo.

Have been all three years but i doubt i'll rush back to Scotland next year, just does not compare with Mill weekend for me.


Wakey fans travelled in large numbers and got behind the team as usual and once again fans from all clubs mingled and behaved as the always do, the stewards i spoke to enjoyed a trouble free day.

Have to agree totally Cardiff was a lot better feel to it in the town you only have to look on youtube to see from last year

cardiff was better by far and you didnt get ripped off with prices of food or beer outside the grounds also the accomodation was reasonable i found edinburgh dissapointing they promised a village outside the ground we couldnt find it,not even traders selling hats,scarves,flags or badges any where in sight. we will seriously consider not going next year as it was a big letdown. you expect to pay a bit more for beer and food inside the stadium but not on the outside.

Anyone I have spoke to so far have said they will not be too fussed about going back next year as it's not a patch on Cardiff.

Hope anyone who went though had a good time apart from result.

Thats the point Adam
Its what you make of it & we did & we all meet up & had a few drinks & sold Wrist bands & badges for Adam Watene & then all sat with each other in the stadium & had more drink
And at our end we had Wakey & Wigan fans singing together regardless of our rivalry,So this is just one thing that for all those who didn't go missed out on
Bring on next year love it to be cardiff but thats not going to happen

The stadium is every bit as good as Cardiff, the atmosphere was good but not quite the same because there was no roof to keep the noise in. What let it down for me was the lack of facilities and the quality. Not sure how the would have coped had the place been full.

No where near as good as Cardiff. They ran out of lager and then tried charging £3.50 for a bottle. Found it very difficult to find a pub that let kids in. Thought the atmosphere was poor always a bad sign when people resort to mexican waves. Did enjoy the sun yesterday afternoon though and will probably go back next year.

I enjoyed Edinburgh, thought it was a great place for a visit.

Left my jacket on the bus out from the town and the top tier of the North stand got no sun and was freezing - had to buy a jacket at the Murrayfield shop to keep warm.
