I would imagine so.....
There is a lot of ground there and it seems to be rarely used...car park, pitches, etc.

the ice rink seems to be owned by Murrayfield Ice Rink Ltd, I also found a piece that stated the land is owned by the SRU - this was from an article about a proposed hotel development that suggested the as the landowner the SRU wouldn't need permission from the ice rink.

As far as I remember, the SRU sold the land for the ice rink years ago to the current owners. The SRU owns the coach park but not, as far as I could see, the ice rink building.

Am I correct that there is an artificial pitch out the back already? And are wanderers not getting moved out of the existing clubhouse?

Yup, there is a 3g/4g pitch out the back, it's the one nearest the outside catering wagons. (I got a row from the groundsmen for testing it out in my stocking soles!). Mf Wanderers are I think already playing in Roseburn Park nest door, but AFAIK they still retain the clubhouse. Ir's not in the way of a new stadium development and would be a nice little snug for supporters of it happened to be open on match nights.

Stripping out for ST holders not attending probably means an actual average crowd of nearer 3,200. Pretty jamesmatthew given we have won them all bar the Treviso debacle. Wonder if we will get a few more along tonight given it may be ER's last outing at Myreside (if recent press reports prove to be correct)?

There was a clear drop in attendance of ST holders who would just not entertain going to myreside even for the trial period.
Pitch has got to be a big factor, no point moving to move back every time it gets chilly.
ER rightly have to weigh up investing in the myreside pitch or on stands on the back pitches.But they have to be get it right one way or the other.
