EDINBURGH RUGBY FOUNDATION
Edinburgh Rugby team to play Tonga at Myreside, Myreside Road, Edinburgh, kick off 7.15 pm. Entry FREE. EDINBURGH RUGBY FOUNDATION wishes to welcome The Tongan team to Edinburgh and to thank them for allowing Supporters the opportunity to come along to watch the game against them in the run-up to the start of the professional rugby season. After a summer of rugby discontent, speculation and discord we would ask supporters to pick themselves up and take this opportunity to show support for the Edinburgh team and players and we urge them to attend this free-entry game this forthcoming Friday.
Edinburgh Rugby Foundation is a not for profit organisation and has been established by supporters to promote the professional rugby team in Edinburgh, to strengthen the bonds between the team and the community and to encourage the SRU to take proper account of the interests of rugby supporters and of the community it serves in its decisions. We aim to support the concept of democratic supporter involvement and representation. The ERF is also a community benefit organisation. Its purpose is to build bridges between the community and Edinburgh Rugby and to use the power of rugby for the good of the community.
Several ERF Members will be at Myreside pre-match to help supporters to sign up as new members, and give more information if required. Please look out for them and pledge your support to The Foundation. The Team needs your support now more than ever and as The Foundation is an independent, supporter lead organization, it is able to do so through the most democratic means possible (fully regulated by The Financial Services Authority).
