Published Date:

HEARTS will open the gates of Tynecastle to supporters next Saturday with a free training day, allowing fans access to the team's final session before the visit of Hull City the following day.
Manager Csaba Laszlo and fitness coach Tom Ritchie will wear microphones enabling their instructions to the squad to be relayed through the stadium's PA system. Hearts are offering free entry to all fans and will open the Gorgie Road Stand from 11am.
The team will appear at 12pm for an hour-long training session before signing autographs and posing for pictures with supporters in the Gorgie Suite. Face-painting and community coaching are amongst the attractions for children, as well as some exclusive "audience participation" at the end of the training session.
The afternoon is certain to prove popular with younger followers of Hearts given that it takes place just a week before the club begins it's SPL campaign at home to Motherwell. The Hull friendly, 24 hours after the training day, is the team's final warm-up match before competitive league action begins.
