St. Mirren away day guide: Tynecastle Park

St. Mirren travel to Tynecastle Park to face Hearts in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday 10 October, 3pm (UK time). Here is what travelling fans need to know: getting to the ground, where it is, the forecast and how to follow the game if you are not going.

The ground

Hearts play at Tynecastle Park, Gorgie Road, Edinburgh. It holds 19,852 supporters.

How far is it?

Tynecastle Park is 76km (47 miles) from The Smisa Stadium in a straight line, so the journey by road or rail will be longer. Plan for traffic and allow extra time on a matchday.

Nearest railway stations

The closest stations to Tynecastle Park are:

  • Haymarket: 1.1km, about 13 minutes’ walk
  • Slateford: 1.6km, about 19 minutes’ walk
  • Edinburgh Waverley: 3.0km, about 37 minutes’ walk

Distances are straight-line from the stadium; the walking route will be a little longer. Check National Rail for engineering works before you travel.

Pubs near the ground

These pubs are within a short walk of Tynecastle Park:

  • Eighteen 74 Bar (78m from the ground)
  • Tynecastle Arms (136m from the ground)
  • Stratfords (269m from the ground)
  • Ardmillan Hotel (390m from the ground)
  • Brass Monkey Gorgie (418m from the ground)
  • The Caley Sample Room (428m from the ground)

Many pubs close to grounds are home-fans only on matchdays, so check before you go and follow any police or club advice for away supporters.

Matchday weather

The forecast for kick-off at Tynecastle Park is mainly clear, around 12°C, with a 49% chance of rain and wind around 14mph. Forecasts change, so check again on the morning of the game.

Tickets and the away end

Away allocations, ticket prices and turnstile details are set by the clubs. Check Hearts’s official website and St. Mirren’s ticket office before you travel.

Not going? How to follow it

Hearts vs St. Mirren kicks off at 3pm on a Saturday, so it is not shown live on UK television because of the 3pm broadcast blackout.
