Just decided to fly up to Edinburgh for the game on the 2nd. Booked with BA for £96, landing at 1pm, returning at 7.30. Fingers crossed that the flight in is on time, and that Wakey-Bulls isn't so gripping I can't drag myself off to the airport in time.

Just booked for myself and 5 friends for the weekend! amped!

Is there a thread on the magic weekend yet?

and I am only charging you £15 to wales and back......

I really must get my margins right

Is anyone else heading up north for this fixture?

If so, where abouts will Quins fans be sitting on the saturday? Wouldnt mind mingling with the other clubs come sunday and cheering on who ever I place my bets on.

Go on the Quins site tells you All You need to know.

Quote ="Homer"One running on the VT mate viewtopic.php?t=388794'" According to Bilko on there, all matches will be televised live on Sky. And we get first use of the pitch.

If anyone's still looking for cheap accommodation try Heriot Watt University. £34 a night for a single en suite room - it's about 5 or 6 miles west of the city centre. You can book online via the university's website.

Have you no mates!!! Have a chat with Listy he's after a room buddy!!!!

GF offered to share with Listy then realised it is a rugby league game with Quins playing, and he wont be there.

He would rather be typing his sales rhetoric on here.

I'm still umming and ahhing over Edinburgh. If I do go it will be a last minute thing I'm guessing. That Heriot-Watt offer sounds quite good, but how are they able to offer it during term-time?

Funny....really Funny....
FTR........I am currently on a self imposed ban from rhetoric of any sort, but I may make an exception in the case of fingerpointers with no life outside of RL

HTH

A self imposed ban on attending away matches?

Can't stand stay-aways personally.

I won't be at MM, don't support such farcical events, especially if they are in Scotland.

which reminds me, Gutterfax, who has silenced you?

A scandalous breach of your human rights - did they use Schillings or Carter-Ruck?

neither.....apparently some people read these boards more than we think and I agreed to lay off on the negative stuff until the new team get a chance to get it right.
As for the fingerpointing lot...I have managed to get a load of people to agree to board the coach to Welsh wales as my penance ....so lay off

They have a [url=http://www.edinburgh-conference.com/Conference Centre[/url with almost 200 rooms available all year round. The "Book Online" link on this page takes you to a site called "Visit Scotland" where you can book rooms here, and presumably elsewhere if you follow the links. Not sure how many are left, but I only booked a week or two ago.

I suspect it's one of those well kept secrets that aren't widely publicised and most people don't know about. Another example is the Welsh Institute of Sport in the centre of Cardiff, right next to the county cricket ground at Sophia Gardens, where I stayed for a similar price at the Magic Weekend there. Also Durham University, where I was able to stay in student accommodation in Durham Castle during the vacation while I was up there for a cricket match. That was great as you literally get a key to the castle, which lets you in late at night through a small hatch type door set into the main castle gates.

If I'm ever wanting to stay somewhere touristy where accommodation is generally expensive I always check out any local universities etc. as there's often a bargain to be had.


Yes thanks, they're just not staying in the same room as me!

Looking forward to the meal and complimentary drinks. Do you do coach miles?
