. Although the weedgies would moan abut that, it will be tough to find something they don't moan about though!

All three games are of course league games but I would favour this single game format for the 1872 if we are to regularly play the Weeg three times a season under the Pro14 structure. Additional teams being added to the league may of course reverse this?
Have the 2 regular fixtures home and away over Xmas (let's face it, it's the holiday season and there is more then enough riding on them at this stage of the season with the derby spice thrown in, not sure the 1872 element is required). Then have the 1872 settled over the single game at the April fixture. This should be at BT Murrayfield and be accompanied with peripheral activities / family day etc. Maybe even have the Schools Cup Finals tied in on the same day? ER should play December home fixture at Myreside as our home ground under this arrangement, with MF a "neutral ground", which of course it now is. Would be a bit like the derby day the Welsh teams have at the Principality Stadium. This would be a great event towards the end of the season IMO.
