Also with the credit crunch this year many would have gone but could not afford it, not so much the tickets as they are great value but the travel and accomodation.
Yes Cardiff has good bars nearby but if you came out of Murrayfield and turned right on the main road there were loads of pubs. If you went left then it's mainly residential.
Let's face it both are great venue's and both offer something different, I wouldn't complain about either to be honest and am already looking forward to next years weekend.
