Pro12 Side Edinburgh To Play Home Matches At Myreside For Next Three Seasons

Pro12 side Edinburgh will play its home matches at Myreside for the next three seasons "except for selected fixtures at Murrayfield in the next campaign," according to the BBC. The club used the 5,500-capacity stadium instead of Murrayfield "on a trial basis at the end of last season." Edinburgh head coach Richard Cockerill said, "We as a team feel that the intimacy of Myreside will bring the supporters closer to the action." The club had an average attendance of 5,200, with a low of 2,750 and a high of 21,000. Edinburgh said that it "undertook a thorough review with supporters, local residents and other key stakeholders, including players and new head coach Richard Cockerill" after last season's six-game trial. The team said in a statement, "The results of the feedback showed a continued desire to evolve the match-day experience at Myreside, whilst supporters also enjoyed use of the excellent facilities available at BT Murrayfield" (BBC, 7/11).
