Anglo-Scottish rivalries are set to resume at The Castle when the new English champions, London Wasps, lock horns with Scotland's top team, Edinburgh, with 10 of the starting line-up selected to face Argentina this weekend, on Saturday, 23 August (kick off 2.30pm) and season ticket holders are entitled to a special offer for the game - FREE admission for you and a friend.
When the Festival is in full swing, the most entertaining place to be in Edinburgh will be Murrayfield for this top-class pre-season friendly as Mike Blair goes head-to-head with Phil Vickery. Calcutta Cup rugby at a fraction of the price for a Test match - just £15 for Adults and £10 for Concessions. But you can qualify for FREE admission for you and a friend by signing up for a 2008/2009 Edinburgh Rugby Club season ticket.
Club captain Simon Cross, a former youth team skipper at Wasps, is in for next season and said: "I'm really looking forward to this match; it will be a chance to meet up with some old friends like Joe Worsley. Wasps have won 11 trophies in 11 years and their track record speaks itself. This promises to be an entertaining way to start the new season and it should be a memorable event."
Almost 1050 rugby enthusiasts have enlisted to become members of the growing Black and Red Army for the new campaign - already beating last season's final total of 1020. The package entitles supporters to gain admission for all nine home Magners League matches, all three home games in the Heineken Cup pool stages plus admission for the away match at Glasgow Warriors - all for a great value price (£150 for Adults, £80 for Concessions (OAPS and students) and £30 for juniors (under-18s). So what are you waiting for? Call 0131 346 5180 to reserve your seat at The Castle - you could become our most important summer signing!
