With the opening of the new Main Stand on one side of the pitch, then Tynecastle Stadium has been completely re-developed since the 1990’s. Opened in November 2017 the Main Stand is an impressive size, with a capacity of over 7,000 seats. Effectively a large single tier, its roof is mostly transparent to allow more light to reach the pitch. There is a wide players tunnel located at the half way line, with the team dugouts located wither side of it, out front. The rest of the stadium comprising the Roseburn, Gorgie and Wheatfield Stands, are all good sized single tiered stands, that are similar in design and height. They are slightly taller than the Main Stand. The corners of the stadium are open meaning that the stands are separate. Apart from a line of floodlights running along the front of the roof, then in each corner, there is a block of floodlights mounted which give it an interesting look.
Tynecastle Stadium
The Club have at last been able to announce that they are to return to Tynecastle as the new Main Stand can now be used for matches. The Club will play at home for the first time this season against Partick Thistle on November November. The new Main Stand will have a capacity of 7,196 seats, which will increase the overall capacity of Tynecastle to over 20,000.
George Hobb informs me; ‘The Jessie Mays bar to the west of the stadium (heading away from the city centre) always has a warm welcome for away fans. Has also the Ryries Bar, which is a good pub which is within ten minutes walking distance of Tynecastle, being located next to Haymarket Railway Station.’
George continues; ‘Any visitors who like their real ale, should of course visit the legendary Athletic Arms on Angle Park Terrace. The pub is nicknamed the ‘Diggers’ as it overlooks a graveyard and serves great beer (it is has been listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide for many years). For neutral fans then the Tynecastle Arms on Gorgie Road is worth a visit as it has lots of Hearts memorabilia on display. As you would expect it gets very busy on match days, so get there early.’
Closer to the stadium on Angle Park Terrace, is the Caley Sample Room, which also serves real ale and is busy on matchdays.
Away fans are housed in the Roseburn Stand at one end of the ground, where up to 3,676 supporters can be accommodated. Clubs with a small following may find that a smaller portion of this stand is allocated. The steep slope of the stand ensures a good view of the pitch and the facilities on offer are good. Apart from the Old Firm games and local derbies against Hibs, the atmosphere can be lacking.
