Trains there on the Friday are limited and look to be about £36 each way returning Monday! Coaches cost £12 each way.

No news yet on accommodation. (Cheapest hotel I've seen was 150 each for 3 nights, but limited availablilty and getting snapped up!)

Suggestions welcome!

Who is interested then?

I'll be there anyway as I'm off up with the family and have accommodation sorted.

As Kev's mate said last night there are apparently plenty of cheaper travelodge type places down in Leith, which is a short bus ride or taxi ride from Edinburgh centre.

If you do stay in Leith then make sure you avoid anyone you hear being called Franco or Frank, don't leave any valuables near any locals called Sick Boy, Renton or Spud either

I'm pretty sure Kev is definitely up for it as it seems is Danny, Ricky, Adam, Ben and Craig.

Queensferry is a decent alternative in terms of accommodation too, just down by the end of the Forth Bridge.

If you're prepared to do a bit more travelling even places like Glasgow are relatively accessible by train to/from Edinburgh.

Yeah as Sam says i'm defo up for it, Matt (the halifax fan) will be coming up too so he'll be ok to play as well.

I'm just waiting for the missus to confirm I'm allowed up but I'll know for definate on Monday after she's had a word at work.

Sam

Do we know what tickets we get for free as if there pants i might buy my own?

edit : Forgot to mention, if i do go which is 99% certain..I'll probably be driving up Saturday and then home Sunday (not sure when) so would have space for 2 people...if travel times fitted in i guess

I'll email Pete Longbottom at the RFL about tickets and let everyone know the result when he gets back to me.

Hi all, just to let you guys know weve searched high and low for a while about accomodation but everywhere is really pricey, so we have decided to camp about 5-6 miles from murryfield it will cost about £15 per pitch per night so if you got a big tent and you can get 4 to sleep in it you are looking around £4 each per night but the pitches are going pretty quick too. Don't know if you would be intrested in this but thought id just let you know anyway cheers from John of the Celtic Barbarians.

John, please let's have the camp site details. . . Just in case!

University B&B

Single rooms only. £33 each per night, but we'd have to book soon to get the rooms.

Anyone interested or is it camping??

Firstly, apologies for Monday, I'm still bone idle. I do intend coming back but dont expect to play inb this over someone who's been training every week. I'll play if you're short but I will need to know in advance rather than a phone call on the day

I wont need travel/accomodation as i;'m already booked to go Saturday til Monday.

That university B&B sounds reasonable.
