Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh has been named as having the worst toilets among Six Nations rugby venues, according to a report by the Scottish Daily Express. The analysis, conducted by Irish bookmaker BoyleSports, was based on TripAdvisor reviews and revealed that over 10% of Murrayfield reviews mentioned toilet issues. The Scottish Rugby Union acknowledges the stadium's need for investment and has pledged to allocate funds for improvements, particularly focusing on the restroom facilities.
Murrayfield Stadium has been ranked as having the worst toilets out of all the Six Nations venues. The annual Six Nations rugby tournament is set to kick off later this month, seeing the teams of Scotland , England, France, Ireland, Italy, and Wales face off. According to a report by the Scottish Daily Express, Edinburgh's 67,130-capacity Murrayfield was analyzed by Irish bookmaker Boyle Sports who examined TripAdvisor reviews for each of the home grounds' facilities.
They discovered that over 10% of reviews about Murrayfield mentioned issues with the toilets, placing it first in BoyleSports' 'loo league of shame'. England's Twickenham came in second, while the Principality Stadium in Wales, Ireland's Aviva Stadium, Italy's Stadio Olimpico, and France's Stade de France fared better, with the latter being declared the cleanest. Five percent or fewer reviews of these venues mentioned subpar lavatories.One TripAdvisor reviewer bluntly stated, 'I have been to many stadiums in my time and Murrayfield has a great atmosphere. But they neglect the most important thing, which is always the toilets. They are disgusting as they do not flush properly. By the end of the rugby match the toilets were literally flooded because no one can work out how to flush them.' Another complained about the lack of women's facilities, writing, 'Our only complaint is the lack of women's toilets, forcing many women to use the men's toilets and split cubicles among hundreds of people.' Toilet woes represent 10.79% of all negative feedback at Murrayfield Stadium, with another common complaint being the lack of hot water in the lavatories. Edinburgh Murrayfield was built in 1925, with its last refurbishment taking place in 1994 after a £50 million redevelopment by the Scottish Rugby Union. Murrayfield chairman John McGuigan has confirmed that funds will be earmarked for improvements, prioritizing the toilets. The Scottish Rugby Union commented, 'Murrayfield is home to Scotland's largest stadium, which has an unrivalled atmosphere both during matches and in the West Fan Village. We are aware that the stadium needs investment, and we are allocating funding to improve parts of the stadium in a rolling programme that is already underway. We have also tasked consultants to come up with long-term solutions for some key areas of the stadium.' Scotland's Six Nations journey will kick off with a match against Italy at Murrayfield Stadium on February 1. This will be followed by Scotland facing off against Ireland and Wales at Murrayfield on February 9 and March 8 respectively. Following Taylor Swift's three-night stint at the stadium in July 2024 that expanded the capacity to 73,000, Oasis is set to rock Murrayfield this summer. The legendary Britpop band will be playing a run of shows on August 8, 9, and 12
