Is it confirmed that they are moving? That's great news! I'm sure that some people will miss this old stadium, but I say on with progress. I'll most definatley be at all the EP games in the Currie Cup if they play at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium from now on.

Yep - can also confirm. And yes, I will also be a more regular supporter again.
It's a real pity that this last game clashed with a SWC QF match. Could they not have planned it better? I would have attended just for the occasion!

It is sad, I don't think that many people will go to this last game, due to the WC. I will most certainly be going to Currie Cup games to NMB Stadium though. Now that I think about it, I've never watched a rugby match their, only football.
I found an article on News 24:

I heard that the EPRU Stadium is being torn down, so I assume that the entire union will move to NMB Stadium, not just host games there. I think this is great though, I hope the stadium rental isn't too high though, we all saw what that did to Bay United.
Their new offices aren't in the actual stadium.I heard that the EPRU Stadium is being torn down, so I assume that the entire union will move to NMB Stadium, not just host games there.

The Mighty Elephants? Are they the sports wing of the IFP?

They are actually trying to get rid of that name. Since last year's Currie Cup they have simply branded the team as Eastern Province.

The building currently being used for FIFA media accreditation. I believe it's this one http://tinyurl.com/2wl5hyu

The old IMATU offices?
It's hard to tell from the google page but if that's the building they're using for FIFA Accreditation then yes.

Do they have an e-mail address? I know that they don't have a webiste, at least not one that I can find.

That is basically at the stadium, nice to see.
It has its own entrance though which means visitors can circumvent the stadium security.

Thanks, I've phoned them beofre, but didn't know that they had an e-mail address. Hopefully they launch a website too, this should be seen as a new start for EP Rugby.
That is good.

Since they changed their name they became useless
I remember OP/EP being just that. And they where pretty good, then they just disapeared off the map for some reason.
+1 For the name Eastern Province,
