Didn't go wouldn't go. Can't see the point at all.

The day is basically a rip off. Prices in Cardiff centre are similar to central London. As a TV spectacle, the event is a joke. Vast swathes of empty seats, referees spotting the most stupid of niggling offences then missing a blatant forward pass which cost us the win, more stoppages than RU and that Paul Cullen commentating.

Mixed reactions to be honest. Some of the stewards were dick heads, whinging that we couldn't sit in a certain place because we didn't have the right unreserved tickets, oh yeh ok pal coz it's gonna be full eh?

Didn't really see the prices at the bar coz my wife managed to smuggle a 12 pack of carlsberg in her handbag plus 2 bottles of vodka disguised in 7UP bottles. Her bag was checked at the gate by a fat steward who went bright red after seeing what my wife had at the top of her bag and hurriedly let her through

Atmosphere, not great to be honest, I had fun winding the large array of Cas fans up for the majority of the day was sad not to be sat with our fans though.

Ended up in Tiger Tiger cutting some shapes out, pretty decent place apart from I didn't get my traditional jagerbombs or 12 coz they were £6:20 a drink!

Bit peed off at our result but atleast we didn't lose.

Big enough to knock Silverwood and Wilkin out with one swing if she'd got close enough!

Had a great day out.

As for the prices in the stadium, No different then all big stadiums and the prices in Cardiff were dearer but not as bad as London and Edinburgh.

No problem with seating as you could sit where you wanted on the unresered seating.

In fact, the stewards even directed fans to areas where most ot their own fans were sat.

The biggest problem with the stadium is that the seats in the lower tier are not steep enough.

I've been a couple of times, and I've been to Murrayfield too. I'm still not sold on the concept at all.

we had a fantastic weekend.. granted it was expensive to drink down there but i had been prepared for that!! the result was the only downside to the whole weekend for me as after the start we made the draw felt like a defeat!! we stayed in the same hotel as the officials and i made it known to everybody when Mr Alibert pushed infront of me in the queue for the lift (he soon moved). we also saw Mr Thaler in walkabout way beyond midnight and he was video ref for the 12 o'clock game on sunday lol
