The new stadium is a better home for a small club and will create a bit of atmosphere compared to Murrayfield. I do wonder how much enjoyment I'll take out of watching games in it when the wind is howling and it's pishing with rain right enough.
I like the appointment of Mike Blair - I felt for Cockers last year. He dealt with the Autumn Nations competition, the conclusion of the Six Nations and then the 2021 Six Nations - a lot of times we were without key players, leaving us with a pretty threadbare and young squad. As a fan, I wrote last year off but clearly the board felt the need for change, which is a shame. The loss of key players is going to be a challenge going forward - especially Duhan! The Boffeli and Moyano look like decent acquisitions, but we're still light in some areas.
I'm happy to be corrected, but the original club colours were orange and blue - I actually really like both kits this year!
