2 friendlies both at home. May I politely suggest the norm would be one home and one away and Melrose is a wee bit closer to Edinburgh than Newcastle.
No pleasing some folk

Would be quite happy to travel to Newcastle, have in the past, my point being as a season ticket holder I am unable to support my team due to time restrictions. This will also apply to any Falcons fans who work Friday afternoons and would have liked have travelled.

I also take on board your point about pre season games isn't about getting fans there, so it was admirable of Edinburgh Rugby to run buses for supporters in the past to get them to pre season games in the borders.
Anyway, here's hoping for a successful season under our new coaching team and everyone can get behind them and the players in the coming season.
