	Tynecastle Stadium
		Hearts have played at Tynecastle since 1886 and while the oldest part of the current stadium dates from the end of the First World War, the majority of it emerged from an extensive £8.25 million redevelopment programme during the mid 1990s.
		Tynecastle can hold just over 18,000, a little more than a third of its record attendance when, in 1932, 53,396 watched the home side narrowly lose to Glasgow Rangers in a Scottish Cup tie.
		The long-term future of Tynecastle is currently under discussion as part of a controversial plan to move the club to an new out-of-town stadium which would be shared with city-rivals, Hibernian FC.

		The Tynecastle stadium architect has confirmed that the UEFA requirement for the pitch to be at least 100 metres long is achievable by removing the first row of seats in each of the Roseburn and Gorgie stands and allowing the pitch to be extended.
		The Stadium Working Group has concluded that the development as proposed has many difficulties to overcome but has the potential to be viable.

	Football: Uefa licensing scheme could speed Hearts' desire - [Sunday Herald]

		The Tynecastle pitch is short and we are also short in the run-off area [behind each goal].
		Hearts are confident they will eventually receive local authority sympathy for any planning application for a new stadium simply by freeing Tynecastle, near the centre of Edinburgh, for much-needed housing land.

		The main stand at Tynecastle is now likely to become the focus of the club’s argument for quitting Gorgie.
		The document is intended to persuade supporters of the need to move, but in reality the board decided to press ahead with the sale of Tynecastle long before its belated attempt at consultation with supporters.
