Already booked our room in Paisley Road Travelodge in Glasgow for the first weekend and been bullied into driving up. Not bad work from my co-organiser in little less than an hour!
Now just need to sort out tickets.
Wales will also be playing one match against France on a F*$%ing Friday Night. Stupid people making stupid decisions!

First game, a fine chance for us to 'finally' beat our Cousins, Cymro ,-)
I agree with you on the Friday night, If I was involved with the planning I'd do away with Sunday games altogether. The Super Saturdays are a fantastic day to spend the day with 1,3,5 or 3,5,8 kickoffs.

Finally beat us? You beat us convincingly last time we where at Murrayfield!
I like Sunday matches, it makes for a great couple of days drinking. All games on a Saturday is too much for me.
Fridays should be kept for the Under 20's/21's as is tradition - it's another excuse to go to the pub!

Look at your post count Cymro ,

I was meaning that Cymro, I was meaing it was set at 1314 -
e.g Bannockburn, it made me smile.

Ah right. I wouldn't know the day of Bannockburn I'm afraid, I have enough difficulty in remembering my own wedding anniversary.....
Anyone thinking of going to any of these matches?

I might go along Cymro, My pal works for Deloitte in Edinburgh who apparently have 'connections' with RBS - and he's mentioned that he sometimes can get free or discounted tickets, if not I'd certainly be up for going along.
Maybe it can be an official 'our-scotland' meet up? the christmas one didn't work so maybe a sporting event might be an idea for all us to meet up,

Almost as bad as the decision in football to make Rangers play so many matches just before they played in the UEFA Cup Final when their opponents had THREE matches postponed so they can be fresh for the match, and the decision to make Rangers play their decisive SPL match just TWO DAYS before they played in the Scottish Cup Final.
These things wouldn't happen outside of Scotland.
