Not long now till you visit our capital. It will be great for us League fans to be able to see SEVEN Super League games without having to go down to England. But to keep you up to date. There is a new tram system (or tram line, as some call it) being put in place in the city. I have not been in the capital recently, but by all accounts, Princes Street, the main street, is something of a building site at present. There is a dispute between the local council and the contractors and, although the street has been closed for a week, no work has been carried out. Although this situation may detract from the appearance of the city, don't let it put you off coming up for a great weekend of Leaague. For those who have never been to Edinburgh, one side of the main street is a large park; Princes Street Gardens. This will be a great gathering point for fans, and where else in the world could you find a beautiful park overlooked by an ancient castle atop a high rock? And although the main street will be closed, there are adequate alternative routes if you are coming by car, although it would be better to come up by train. The main station is right on Princes Street, and from there it is possible to take a train to Haymarket (about five minutes) which is only a few minutes walk from the stadium. It is even possible to walk from Princes Street to Murrayfield in about half an hour (and there are plenty of pubs on the route). If anyone hasn't booked yet and has trouble getting accommodation in Edinburgh, you will be able to get fixed up in Glasgow. There is a fifteen-minute train service to Edinburgh which only takes about 55 minutes and the train passes through Haymarket before reaching Waverley, so if you don't wish to go into the centre of the city you can alight at Haymarket. (Travelling from Glasgow you will see the stadium, which is right beside the railway, just before reaching Haymarket Station). There is going to be a supporters' village in the vast green area around Murrayfield, so everything is set for a fantastic weekend - if only the weather gods smile on us! Tram system construction notwithstanding, it will be a brilliant and colourful event with all the fans wearing their team tops adding even more colour to an already colourful city. Looking forward to seeing Wolves fans together with all the others. It will be a great experience. Welcome!

Really looking forward to the whole weekend. There are 11 of us going (6 adults and 5 kids). We are staying at the Premier Travel Inn, Falkirk (Larbert/M876) and getting the train in each day. Train station is only a couple of minutes from the hotel and takes about 20 minutes to Murrayfield. Restaurant is attached.
£52 per room per night and still rooms available!!!
Warrington Wolves and Woolston Rovers - The PERFECT combination
^^^ That's a decent price alright! We've booked into a hotel just 10 mins walk from Princes St, so not bad going - really looking forward to this RL w/end way up north!

Considering we've got 4 games to get through on the Sunday, i think the 12.30pm K.O for the first game is a pretty decent time to start too.
Here's what looks like to be the confirmed fixture times:
Sat 3rd:
Salford v Harlequins 3pm
Wakefield v Bradford 5pm
Wigan v St Helens 7pm
Sun 4th:
Huddersfield v Celtic 12.30pm
Hull FC v Castleford 2.30pm
Catalans v Leeds 4.30pm
Warrington v Hull KR 6.30pm

Please tell me you don't mean these things.
And anyway, the Sunday starts at exactly the same time (12.30) you were originally complaining about:

All they've done is add an extra 15 minutes between the 1st and 2nd and the 2nd and 3rd games.

Yes but that decision means it has extended our game by half hour, which is what i ultimately wanted, i just thought it would be easy to extend them all by half an hour instead of 15 mins here and there, but it has the same result.
