| Agree totally.
Didn't go to Edinburgh because I know from going to a Scotland v Wales match how poor the atmosphere was & what a nightmare the journey can be.
Can't say I will be all that bothered next year

| I prefer the stadium in edinburgh to cardiff but overall i think cardiff is better as the ground is right next to the city so everything is more accessable

| Stadium itself was very good, good food and liked how you could just walk around outside. However, i thought the area around the ground was crap not a patch on Cardiff, i also thought it was a lot harder to access than Cardiff. Cardiff was straight off the motorway onto a park and ride and your there, Murrayfield was much harder having to go through the city centre with a lack of signs for the ground, in fact i didnt see any. Overall i prefer Cardiff for the day away from rugby ie restaurants and bars, but i prefer Murrayfield when watching rugby, no roof (although maybe a bit of a bummer in bad weather) and being able to move around outside the stadium in between/ during games.

| I'm setting up a poll, but for me of the 2 Cardiff is a definite winner.
Murrayfield stadium was a great ground, but Cardiff was sooooo much better due to the ground being more central to the city centre. We stayed at Haymarket and had about a 20 minute walk to the ground, with very little on the way (pubs n food venues etc). Although the stuff set up within the ground was good
Once we left the ground and headed back the City is that vast that the atmosphere was lost, we went into pubs with no fans around....where did 60,000 people go.
The drive back today was horrendous, when we approached the Lakes we hit queing traffic and it remained bad until this side of Preston, due to roadworks and traffic leaving the Lakes after the Bank Holiday weekend.
Enjoyed the weekend but for me its Cardiff everytime.

Main problem there is that the stuff to do all relies on the weather being good, if the weather had been poor the whole event would have been a wash out.
Like a lot of fans we sat on the grass in the ground enjoying the sun but if its not decent weather that wouldn't have happened and there was very little else in the area to do.
And thats not to mention the state the pitch would have been in with a bit of rain.
And the public transport links - especially after the game - to and from the ground were very poor - why wasn't a shuttle service set up to get fans back to the city centre?
Cardiff wins hands down for me, an enjoyable weekend but the ground and facilities weren't a patch on Cardiff.

| Never been to a Magic weekend before. Can't say I was that enamoured by Murrayfield or the location. It was a little base for me outside the ground too, reminded me of a travelling fair.
The upside was getting 2 x free tickets to get in. Presumably the RFL directed steward mistook me for a local.
Seriously I didnt hear one Scottish accent inside and the taxi driver didnt know the event was even on. I'm not sure the RFL can call it a success.

Wire lost
and would you believe it the coach breaks
Did not get home until about 5.30
Edinburgh was awful
Me and a few others tried to watch the newcastle liverpool game in the pub and they kicked us out cos we did not have id with us. I am 18 but dont have id because i have just passed my driving test so im waiting for my licence which i use as id to come through. Around 5 pubs said the same thing even tho we were just sat there not drinking anyting! Plus took us ages to actually get to the ground no signs until about 10 yards from the ground!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO BACK TO CARDIFF!

| Once again poorly promoted by the RFL, some locals were asking if the event was a RU sevens tournament. Not a fly poster in sight. The RFL would learn something if they asked Les Cats what they do for promoting their games as Catalans had posters up advertising last years' play-off game against Wire miles away from Perpignan.
