Did anyone go last year?

Accommodation needs to booked up in advance though.
Last year was a good year, back to its best.

Re: Dubai 7's Tournament
Last year though was certainly a good one, despite England's underperformance (crowd tends to be about 50 pct English).
New stadium this time, which in some ways is a shame - the old Exiles atmosphere will be missed - but it looks superb.
Tickets on sale about mid-Oct, but last time they sold out quickly (first time ever - there were always still some available in the last week leading up to it in previous years).
How many will there be in your party?
And watch out for a big bloke with a clipboard and rubber gloves...... I work at the 7s as a drug tester........
(Polite notice by order of the management: all jokes including the phrase "taking the piss" should be sent direct to Jimmy Tarbuck, not posted here. Thank you.)

Re: Dubai 7's Tournament
It's already in use - although not the finished article.
By popular demand, the new stadium still incorporates THREE sides of temporary seating, which always made for an element of fun at the Exiles. The main (permanent) stand looks quite spectacular......
In any case there are contractual reasons for getting it done on time - Dubai was awarded the IRB World Sevens Championships (March 09) and they HAVE to have it ready by then, as they cannot work on it between Dec 08 and Mar 09 (as the pitch has to be protected etc)
It'll be fine......

Awesome...in that case it will be brilliant!! Didn't fancy the bus trip back from Al Ain after the amount of booze consumed each day!!
It really is a great tournament, particularly with the amateurs.
