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.
oh the sarcasm.
You wanted it on a plate. Every wee thing that doesn't suit, whinge time. You are not alone on here and frankly it TonySpreadbury me off.
The fact that buses were run to a fixture which is about a pre season run out first and last shows how fans, you included, are taken into account, while you portray it as if the ko time was to spite you. You never know, they might again (or the supporters club might)- have you asked?
Perhaps you should enquire of the club why its a 6pm ko before going off on a self indulgent whinge, you never know there may be a good reason; if there isn't then by all means lets us know and go for it as hard as you like.

Particularly to season ticket holders (I am not one) who have invested in the club for the forthcoming season. I don't think anyone is asking for 'it on a plate' nor were 'whinging' but making valid points about how keen supporters were going to make the game. A bit better communication would not have gone amiss!

As I`m COMING FROM THE EASTERN BORDERS, which I assume Ayton Keith will be too, it will take us 45minutes to an hour to get there , no different from going to either Meggetland or Myreside.

Alternatively, get off at Gala, right next to the bus station and there are regular buses from there to Melrose. Or it's a pleasant thirty minute walk from Tweedbank along the river to Melrose.
