Get behind Edinburgh Rugby at The Queens Arms

18 Jan 2024

Edinburgh Rugby supporters can now get behind the team at the club’s new Official Away Match Hub, The Queens Arms, in the capital city centre.

A hidden jewel below the cobbles of Edinburgh’s Frederick Street, The Queens Arms is everything a comfortable, quality pub should be – steeped in heritage with a passion for all things sport.

Now Edinburgh fans can cheer every score, big hit and try-saving tackle as The Queens Arms becomes the club’s Official Away Match Hub, as part of a new partnership with the popular city-centre bar.

The Queens Arms will show every Edinburgh Rugby fixture on its five HD screens, starting with tomorrow’s European clash against Scarlets in Llanelli (19 January, kick-off 8pm) – giving Edinburgh fans the chance to back the team on the road, from home, as one.

2023/24 Season Ticket Members (on home and away men’s game days only) and match ticket purchasers (on relevant home game day only) will once again get 20% off their total bill as part of the new partnership, while the club plans to host several ‘watchalong’ events, giving fans the chance to hear from their favourite Edinburgh players ahead of kick-off.

Louise MacLean, Business Development Director for Signature Group: ‘The Signature Group continues to support Edinburgh Rugby, but this time, we’re taking the Official Away Match Hub to the New Town for the very first time which we are very excited about!’

Supporters with a keen eye will have noticed The Queens Arms new branding located on the rear of both the home and alternate match shorts, with the tongue-and-cheek saying: “We will, We will, Ruck You” giving Queen’s famous 1977 rock hit a rugby twist.

The Edinburgh players will once again be wearing The Queens Arms branding this Friday night as the capital side travel to face Scarlets in the EPCR Challenge Cup, where a bonus-point win will secure safe passage to the knockout stages of the tournament.

Edinburgh Rugby Managing Director Douglas Struth added: “We’re once again delighted to partner with The Signature Group. The Queens Arms is a fantastic venue and one we believe our supporters will absolutely love visiting.

“Located in the city centre, with plenty of screens and brilliant food and beverage options, The Queens Arms is the ideal spot to get behind the team on the road throughout 2024.”
