EAST OF SCOTLAND LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION, TYNECASTLE 3-2 SAUCHIE JUNIORS, ATTENDANCE: 72 (h/c)
The beauty of this hobby is how quickly plans can change, in the case of today, it was overnight. I should have been heading for a day on the North Ayrshire coast, watching Largs Thistle, but I ended up on the opposite side of the country as a very interesting double presented itself.
The Berwick Charities Cup Final was taking place at 6.30pm at a venue that, after seeing photographs and reports over the last few weeks, simply must be visited so, with this in mind a game nearer to Berwick upon Tweed was required and, after discussion with the others in the travelling party, we ended up at the rather splendid Meggetland Stadium.
The Meggetland Stadium is a council owned facility in Edinburgh and the main pitch has a 500 stand. The grass pitch is used by Boroughmuir Rugby Club but in 2018 Tynecastle moved to set up home here.
Tynecastle FC were formed in 1928 as a boys club and remained so until 2005 when they merged with Tollcross United and the joined the senior football ranks. The club played at Tollcross United's Fernieside Recreation Ground before moving to share the Saughton Enclosure with Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale in 2015. The club certainly fell on their feet when the moved to the superb Meggetland in 2018. As you can guess with a club called Tynecastle, they play in the same maroon colours as Heart of Midlothian.
