    Murrayfield will remain the home of Edinburgh rugby for the next five years.


    Edinburgh have confirmed they will continue to play at Murrayfield stadium for at least the next five years.

    A study of potential alternative homes in and around Edinburgh concluded that Murrayfield was the most viable option.

    From next season supporters will be closer to the action, with new seating being introduced.

    Edinburgh chief executive Craig Docherty said: “Making Murrayfield the best possible home for our players and fans is at the top of our priorities.”

    Docherty added: “The biggest challenge we face at Murrayfield is the size of the stadium, but if fans are sitting in the east stand or standing beside the pitch, we feel they’d be much more likely to feel part of the event.

    “The ideas we’re discussing and asking supporters to contribute to are designed to make Murrayfield a more atmospheric, more inspirational place to play and watch Magners League and Heineken Cup rugby.”
