The UAFC

Flights and hotel sorted, just waiting on date/time/venue maybe Murrayfield rather than Myreside.

Playing Munster at Murrayfield on Mar 2nd and the Challenge QF v Cardiff on Easter Weekend.

Hope it’ s at Myreside.

No doubt we’ll check out the new bar with the Father Ted artwork. It’s close to Haymarket station.

Surely not Murrayfield?

Malone's. The artwork looks class.

How does one get to Myreside?

Hearts v Aberdeen on the Saturday afternoon.

Edinburgh Rugby could play their final match at Myreside as early as tomorrow evening as they prepare for a flit to the back pitches at BT Murrayfield next season. As revealed by The Scotsman yesterday, the capital side are looking to construct a new home in the shadow of the national stadium. Edinburgh Rugby are considering a move to the back pitches at BT Murrayfield. Edinburgh will quit their current home of Myreside and tomorrow’s Guinness Pro14 match against Leinster could be their last at the home of Watsonians. Richard Cockerill’s team are considering playing the remainder of their matches this season on the main pitch at Murrayfield before switching to the back pitches. The existing temporary stands would be relocated from Myreside to Murrayfield and, if the move proves successful, Edinburgh will consider a permanent home on the back pitches.

They have played 5 league games at Myreside this season with crowds of around 3k - 3.5k. In addition there have been 4 games at Murrayfield - the 1872 Cup when over 20k showed up and the 3 Pool Games in the Challenge Cup where crowds ranged from 2.7k to 4.4k.

As I've hinted at above. Myreside is a ballache to get to

Depends where you start from I suppose, but many rugby grounds aren't.

I think we ended up chasing after the last bus back from Treviso in September and Parma is in the middle of nowhere as well of course.

Twickenham for me tomorrow. Bit of a trek from Stortford. We need to get there in time for the Ireland game. Could be tricky given the hordes of North End fans heading for Brentford.

A good tram system in Edinburgh it seems from the Airport to the city centre with a stop at Murrayfield.

If you think you'll struggle to make it I'll take your tickets

You're a good egg Russ.

I suppose you'd do me the favour of taking my England v Ireland tickets off me too?!
