That's what the Irish thought last weekend!

Be as it may - Mr and Mrs fbrj will be there on Sunday.

I wonder where the fast track turnstiles are?

Well you can count me in for that... for the first time ever I may actually be coming up to HQ alone. Only managed a single ticket this time, but just couldn't bring myself to say no!

Does that mean I get 2 beers if I'm not bringing a guest?

Unfortunately not - can’t get tickets for Scotland’s grand slam victory party.

Are visiting fans not welcome then? 😉

As someone who lives in Twickenham and doesn't have a ticket boo hiss to the lot of you. Clogging up our roads, pubs and restaurants etc etc.

Only Flyertalkers could ask about guesting, GGL guesting and extra drinks if not guesting and can you enter if you aren’t going to the match.

It's only like BT sponsoring Scotland it really doesn't matter surely?

Does anyone have any further information regarding the fast track? Is it open to any EC member or just silver/gold? And are you able to go through with your group - guest - or just you?

Indeed, perhaps Prospero could add TWK to the BA lounge database, that way we'd all know for sure whether standard OW rules apply or not.

Do you think they will have any JW Blue? Will the champagne be self pour or on request only? Will there be Parmesan available?

And I'm now starting to worry in case there's a dress code. Can of worms, this one...

I wonder if there will be a piano in the lounge...

This is a valid suggestion!

They've had the fast track/Exec Club gates for the last few games (Autumn internationals) but no segregation or policing happened and they were treated like any other gate with a free for all. What they need is direct stadium entry from the lounge with private security channel!

Hi,
Fast Track is available for all tiers and you can bring your guests. There is also an Avios bar downstairs from the Exec Lounge that anyone can access/pay for drinks.

Enjoy the rugby for those of you attending!

Warm Regards

About 45 mins away from the lounge now. Is there any LPGS left?
