There's a tag tournament going on at the pitches next to Murrayfield from 12.30pm on Saturday so you may wish to watch if you fancy a laugh at certain posters making fools of themselves.

Anyone know exactly what's on offer at this entertainment village that they're setting up at Murrayfield? I've got this awful feeling that it will just be a bigger version of the marquee at Odsal.

I posted this on the Wakefield board for all fans to refer to. Sources, The Good Beer Guide 2008, except* and yell.com. If you know of anymore, feel free to state which ones.

Cheers, Wakey fan in peace.

Following on from that - there are plenty of bar on Rose Street alone. Get off at Waverley head to Rose Street and just make yer way back along towards Haymarket. Jobs a good un!

Be careful not to venture towards Leith way. Hibs are at home to my beloved Dundee United and they have a few nutter fans..........
