So apart from the departures lounge in Knock Airport, anyone got landing spots you'd like to meet up in?
Obviously the 3 sisters comes to mind, but there are plenty of pubs in Edinburgh...
I am thinking of stopping into the Salt Horse for a few
Good reviews and It's got craft beers on Rotation, what could possibly go wrong!!!

You had me at BBQ Haggis Chips.
Seems a decent spot for the afternoon.
Then maybe somewhere in the West End post-match as handy for the tram in and then go to the Rat Pack til about 7am

Heading with Dad from Belfast - our first away game, really looking for to it... Staying in the Haymarket area - where are the spots to go or is there a general place that the Clan frequent?

That's Great to hear, Connacht way trips are always great craic and it's a great way to meet people
I think our trips can be categised as "DisOrganised CHAOS" - I'm sure @Pinky will have a better name for them
We'll probably end up in the 3 sisters a some stage as it's massive bar that's open late.
There's plenty of pubs in Grassmarket (The Old Town)....
There's a pub I want to try called the Salt Horse (Just off Royal Mile) .
In Haymarket, there are a good few pubs and near ish (less than 10 min walk) there's a late Piano Bar that Pinky referenced in an earlier post - The Rat Pack
Edinburgh is a class city that has so much to offer, plenty of options......
I'd say we'll work on a meet up point for Game Day......Keep your eyes peeled on this thread for any announcements!!

I think all the clubs had a meeting where they agreed to address the crisis whereby it was too easy to buy tickets for the matches.
It's not like buying a house or an assault rifle, they agreed, it has to be a proper challenge.
I have a ticket for Terrace E. Whether I will ever be able to see it is anybody's guess.

Is there a plan of attack for travelling support today? Venues timing etc.
Currently refreshing ourselves in Biddys
