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.

In the brutalist surroundings of the stadium and tram stop the war memorial does give the eyes a bit of a rest and the mind something to dwell on. So though it's reasonable to move it I do hope it's viewable by the passing public.
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.
Perhaps the businesses in Roseburn might get behind this?
I shall attend the relevant Murrayfield CC meeting.
