  • Fortress Twickenham. Like most fortresses static defences and very little forward movement win the day here.
  • I went to see The Eagles here last summer in 2006. They blinking Rocked the stadium. Fantastic stuff.
  • I have been there and i watch the varasity match in 2007
  • the redevelopment of the south stand + the building of the marriott hotel etc. has really made a massive difference. the 'front' is so much more attractive...and practical for crowds.... :-)
