I bet you could fill every match to capacity if it was local . Far better than a half-empty stadium if a foreign country where nobody gives a fk about RL .
Actually. forget the Cas/Wakey idea . It might not be such a good idea to hold all the games on the same field over two days .
It will wreck the grass .'"
What would you know about grass?  |

When I looked they were twice the rate that they were outside that weekend.
As to quick off the mark I once tried to book a hotel in Cardiff within minutes of an event being announced and tourist info told me ALL hotels were fully booked (which was clearly a lie, just they were operating a cartel). These cities know how to abuse supply and demand. |

If cost is a problem stay just outside of these places.
Livingstone, Glasgow etc cheap as chips.
It's the same in South Wales. If you stay in Newport, Bridgend, even Bristol you'd get it a lot cheaper for the sake of a train ride that is less than £10. In the first two cases a lot less.

The fact it is a bank holiday would have made a difference too, doesn't mean they were charging double the rack rate, even if one or two were there are still rooms around for rack rate.
Quote ="Dally"As to quick off the mark I once tried to book a hotel in Cardiff within minutes of an event being announced and tourist info told me ALL hotels were fully booked (which was clearly a lie, just they were operating a cartel).'"
WTF were you doing booking through Tourist Info?

Just got back in, having been in Edinburgh from 08:30 - 1pm today. Sadly I could see no advertising for the event. I walked the length of Princes Street and George Street. Not a poster, Flyer, or a bus with an advert on it.
The duty manager in the hotel I stayed in was aware, him being a union player/supporter but other than that three weeks out and it vseems fairly low profile.

I'll add to what I said above, just checked Travel Inn, they have rooms in several Glasgow sites with easy access to Edinburgh for £58 for TWO nights, somewhere short of Dally's doubled prices

That's what i said! You can stay Central Glasgow for half the price. But what's the point in driving 6 hours + and then spending 2 days driving to and from Glasgow and being away from the RL crowd? |

We have this wonderful invention called the train, it will take you from Glasgow to Edinburgh (and back) in around 45mins (to Haymarket) they run at least every 20 mins on the Saturday and 45mins on the Sunday. Wonderful invention too, maybe they'll catch on down south?
Stop coming up with excuses. |

Absolutely....lots of variety and different experiences, not sure what your point is really, I also have holidays to Turkey Eygpt booked both 5* and 2 week-ends, Dublin & Paris.
Believe me the week-end in the caravan in Scotland is as good as all the rest!! My God I know how to enjoy myself eh  |

|  I won't be feathering greedy Edinborough Hoteliers or the Scottish RU's nest, No thank you! The magic weekend should be held at Sheffield, Liverpool or Newcastle, it's pointless having it in Scotland. At least when it was in Cardiff there is a thriving RL scene nearby and good local interest. |
