A big proportion of hotels business midweek is corporate and in order to get the big contracts you need an attractive location. A hotel based at ER would likely sit empty most of the during the week and the rate would need to be very low on order to attract any business it did get.

I could be wrong, but from my experience of management roles in Edinburgh hotels it would struggle.

Right, you've convinced me.

What about Edinburgh's biggest sauna then .... or is Scorpio leisure too close?

Kilmarnock fc anyone? and, I recently stayed at Beckton Premier Inn for business in London, miles and miles from anything of note. It was full of tourists who want to pay Premier Inn style prices and didn't mind a 20 minute commute to the sites

We like to travel round the UK visiting various cities and we always stay at travelodges or premier inns, sometimes miles away maybe in an industrial estate, its always far far cheaper than city centre premier inns ect, we don't mind the travel.
In Renfrew where I stay the travel lodge is always busy with people up to see concerts at the Hydro and visit Glasgow, its a fair bit out from the city centre.
A travelodge , like what Norwich City have would be great!

When do we get the Hibs Museum we were promised?


Never mind paying the debt and a decent squad, that has to be the Number1 priority!!

Not expecting anything like this to be built anytime in my lifetime, but, the corner between North and East would be perfect for something like this. Don't know how it would tie in with HFC owned / Private operator, especially hospitality etc?

We paid the £5 extra at the time, for a balcony looking onto the Old Trafford Cricket pitch, enjoyed the sunshine, watched the groundsmen working away, before / after we went about our leisure persuits. No cricket was being played during our stay. These balconies become hospitality suites during games. I don't know who owns the premises or what tie in to the leisure / cricket sector is, but the premises were full during our June visit. It obviously pays due to close proximity to Man U as well.

That really looks like Sampdoria's ground

One of the original hand drawn perspectives for the 'new' ER showed an office building in the NE corner - IIRC someone on here had it as either their avatar or signature pic.
