So though it's reasonable to move it I do hope it's viewable by the passing public.</p> <p>Speaking As a Resident of Roseburn living a few doors away from the stadium I rather favour a hotel. A bit more commerce in the area, and it's better to build there than bunging up the Old Town. </p> <p>Perhaps the businesses in Roseburn might get behind this?</p> <p>I shall attend the relevant Murrayfield CC meeting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16470#post-221647 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 11:36:23 +0000 The Boy 221647@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've never understood the fuss over moving memorials or statues. It's not like they're building over an actual war grave or owt. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16470#post-221643 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 11:33:07 +0000 kaputnik 221643@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>This is part of our continuing aim to improve the facilities and enhance the customer experience at BT Murrayfield.<br /> </em></p> <p>Bleurgh! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16470#post-221635 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 11:14:18 +0000 chdot 221635@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/news/murrayfield-s-war-memorial-to-be-moved-to-make-way-for-hotel-1-4142975" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/news/murrayfield-s-war-memorial-to-be-moved-to-make-way-for-hotel-1-4142975</a></p> <p>New opportunity for Roseburn area cycle infrastructure! </p>
