Well, there's really no such thing as a "home stadium" in the US sports model. There are nine stadia, of which six get used in in block, so in three blocks, each stadium gets used twice (generally). BUT they do try to play Montrose at The Lamb and Portree at Rannoch to cut down on the fans' travel distance. That's the actual art of scheduling, because putting the teams up against each other is the easy part. Sometimes two teams that aren't Montrose or Portree will end up in Rannoch or the Lamb.

The Stadium List is at the bottom of the linked page. It has this to say about The Lamb:

Scottish National - on the Lamb in the Firth of Forth; half the island has been rendered unplottable and Muggle-repellent to allow Quidditch to take place there. Home stadium for Montrose.

Also, you can read more about the actual island on Wikipedia

	Oh, and the national stadia are larger, newer, and have nicer facilities, because they're used for international matches (and thus get more fans and more overseas money), but the downside is that if your "home" stadium is a national stadium, a national match will pre-empt your use of it. You blame Des and Mel if that happens. Or maybe Percy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't think Meaghan cares about the facilities that much, this is the woman who lived in a small flat above a cauldron shop for 11 years and mostly lives off cheap beer and fish and chips. She's not really into the fancy.

She does care about the duck pond at Rannoch. Feeding the McDucks is Very Important so I expect she'll be blaming her lower percentage on that. How Dare They schedule another match at the stadium where they just lost, etc.
