There was talk of £500k over three years but as that is a commercial deal you wouldn't expect it to be online, if Edinburgh won the deal it is fair to deduce they first offered a better deal than Cardiff and then offered a better deal that other interested parties.



An increase in numbers attending conference games, an increase in numbers wanting to get involved at both playing and administration level and a wider increased recognition of the Scottish national team. The conference have added teams in Ayr and Kirkcaldy and there were close on 3000 kids exposed to the game in their schools.

No links, personal experience combined with speaking to people involved in the game here.

Does anybody know where i can find a list of excatly what can and can't be taking into the ground (food/drink wise)?

Also, can you watch a game, then leave the stadium and re-enter?

Yes.

No bottles, (if my memory serves me right you can take in a plastic bottle with no lid, just put the lid in your back pocket)..but apart from that any-thing, you can take in a cool bag

I wasn't ever checked about anything. They just let us straight through the turnstiles, then we walked up to the stadium and wandered around until we found some seating that we liked. No one check us about anything, which was a surprise considering that we had bag checks at Cardiff, and drinks taken off us + bag checks at Wembley for the 08 CC.

Pretty much what happened to us, between three of us we had two big cameras and decent sized lenses, they never even asked what was in our bags...

Word of warning though, I wouldn't rely 100% on it being the same, I'm a diabetic so I get some leeway on food and drink I'm allowed to take in, dunno about anyone else if they decide to get strict.

I'm an alcoholic, doesn't mean they'll let me take beer in though

I went in last year and had the 2 kids with me and a bag full of snacks, drinks etc. They searched it but everything was fine (well not everything )
