Murrayfield Wanderers 6-41 Musselburgh RFC

Murrayfield Wanderers RFC play on one of the back pitches quite literally in the shadows of Murrayfield Stadium.  Spectator facilities consist solely of a wooden scoreboard, on which a wee boy struggles to maintain pace with the rising visitors’ (in this afternoon’s case, Musselburgh) points tally.

Murrayfield Wanderers 26-32 Orkney

17th September 2022

Fast forwards to 2016 and Murrayfield Wanderers are told in no uncertain terms that they will have to move.  The SRFU having decided not to renew the club's 25 Year lease, instead deciding that the playing pitch represents the perfect spot for a new hotel.

Thus does 2022 find Murrayfield Wanderers playing round the other side of the rugby stadium in Roseburn Park.  With, it has to be said, and even more imposing backdrop to proceedings.  Although spectator facilities remain equally basic.

And that does look like the same scoreboard from 2006.
