Edinburgh Empty Edinburgh

Post by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Mon 03 Oct 2011, 11:08 pm

Just a quick question for any Edinburgh aficionados out there: did any teams pick up Alex Blair, Fraser Brown or Mark Robertson? Cheers

Also, SRU Chief Exec Mark Dodson commented: ""You don't have to be a genius in any sport to know that a crowd of 3,000 people in a 67,000-seater stadium is not fun. It's not conducive to the players feeling good about rolling out on the pitch and the consumer experience. But you've got to look for suitable alternatives, the cost of those alternatives and how you would fund that

"We are looking at several different issues as we speak and we will carry out an investigation of whether the alternatives will be good enough for the Edinburgh club.

"Every one of them I have seen up to now has benefits and drawbacks. I haven't seen a perfect site yet. But we are going to try and find a place."" - looks like Edinburgh will be moving from Murrayfield, probably for the best

Mark Robertson I believe is on a Scottish 7's contract

No idea what Blair or Brown are up to though never seen them in the Sale match day Squad (where they were once attached) thought i'm 99% sure I saw Alex Blair at the Edinburgh Vs Munster games on Friday night

Can't wait to see what ground they'll move to. Watching Edinburgh at home is just awful.

Better match day atmosphere would perhaps help attract more support anyway.

Robertson quit edinburgh to begin with citing long term injuries, with a view to coming back in the future, although hes either recovered quicker than expected, or lured back as hes on a sevens contract this year.

Shame, as I thought in the wake of Thom Evans' injury, he was the most obvious replacement, and if he had a strong 10/11 season, he could have broke into the squad for the world cup. His form dipped and then he picked up an injury and hasnt played since.

Not heard a peep about Alex Blair or Fraser Brown. Absolute shambles what happened to them however.,
