Tynecastle Stadium 

Tynecastle is a great away trip for fans particularly for its atmosphere and I would highly recommend that if you go to any away game then a trip to Hearts should be high on the list. Although Heart's home form of late has been highly impressive so statistically you are not likely to get a result! Tynecastle has 3 impressive large modern stands The Roseburn, Gorgie & Wheatfield Stands. Only the Main Stand on one side of the pitch, remains of the 'old' Tynecastle. Originally completed just after the First World War, it looks somewhat out of place amongst. It is two tiered, smaller than the other stands and has a fair few supporting pillars. On top of this stand perches a model of an owl, which is there to help deter the presence of other birds to the ground. Away fans are situated in the Roseburn stand which has a maximum capacity of 3,676 but don't expect your team to get all of this allocation. The view is good due to the stands steep slope and the facilities are also good.

how to get to Tynecastle

By car

Car travel from the North - Join the A8 Corstorphine Road and travel along it until you reach the Haymarket junction. Take the right-hand lane in the one-way system (West Maitland Street, Torphichen Place and Morrison Street) before bearing left along Dalry Road until you join Gorgie Road. Travel along Gorgie Road until you pass under the railway bridge. McLeod Street is immediately on your right with the Tynecastle Arms on the corner. Proceed along McLeod Street until you join Russell Road. .

Car travel from the West - At the Hermiston Gate roundabout at the end of the M8 Edinburgh Link take the Edinburgh West (A71) slip road. Travel straight along the Calder Road (A71) through three roundabouts and keep on this road until it merges with Gorgie Road. Pass under the railway bridge and the fourth road on the left is McLeod Street. Proceed along McLeod Street until you join Russell Road. Coaches are parked here or on the overflow areas in Roseburn Street. 

By Train 

If travelling from the West and North, disembark at Haymarket Station (the last stop before Waverley Station) and proceed along Dalry Road and Gorgie Road.If travelling from the South, continue your journey through Waverley Station to Haymarket Station.

Food and drink

Like Glasgow Edinburgh has plenty of places for eating and drinking in the city center and they're plentiful places near Haymarket station too. A little closer to the ground has only really chip and kebab shops on Gorgie Road. As for Pubs I would recommend The Station bar or  the Golden Rule which can be found on Yeaman Place less than 10 minutes from Tynecastle. The Athletic Arms is another option. Pubs will get busy close to match day but these bars will probably be the quieter option not as busy as bars like The Tynecastle arms.
