IIRC they were sponsors of English rugby many moons ago...


I think you are thinking of Save & Prosper. Principal and Prosper is an Edinburgh firm with offices in Glasgow and Kelso.


Yup you are right I was.

The Whisky guys have also stepped up their sponsorship and are looking to be more visible apparently, hopefully not with too many more of the painful vidoes of players playing pool with stunted conversation though!

More good news.

Cue further Weeg outrage and the conclusion that BTM cannot be a neutral ground if we change under it's stands day in day out! :roll:

Given who asked the question that's probably true!

Do we not use the "away" dressing room including Jim Telfers pillar? No idea how many changing rooms are in there and how good the rest are but Scotland are allowed to use the "home" dressing room apparently.

Yes Edinburgh use their own dressing room, not the International home one. Not sure about the visitors but assume that there is not a pair of visitor's dressing rooms and it's the same one for internationals and club games?

The visitors dressing room for internationals is the one Edinburgh use as a home dressing room (the one with the pillar in the middle of it - remember Clive Woodward whining about it). There's a third dressing room behind the Scotland international one I think, which is the away one for club games.

Apart from the international dressing rooms there are two further dressing rooms designated home and away, one on each side of the corridor from the main west stand entrance to the tunnel which, for Biffers interest, are a 250 m walk from the west goal line in minifield and 320m from the centre of the Water of Leith. :-D
