Information from the pre-ops meeting:

Aberdeen supporters attending the match should as always make regular checks with Traffic Scotland if they are travelling by road. They should also listen to traffic updates on the radio.

Please be aware there is a single carriageway on Corstorphine Road at the zoo and Balgreen Road plus restrictions at the Haymarket junction.

The weather forecast is looking good – dry and quite warm. Spring might finally be here!

Aberdeen supporters will be accommodated in part of the Roseburn Stand, sections K,M & L.

The away allocation for Aberdeen supporters is sold out PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND WITHOUT A TICKET. THERE ARE NO CASH GATES.

Car parking in the area is extremely restricted, so please consider public transport into the area or at least car share. Aberdeen supporter’s coaches and mini buses will park on Russell Road.

All supporters are to be reminded that McLeod Street will be completely closed to vehicles from one hour before kick-off and 30 minutes after the match with no exceptions. Supporters will be encouraged to go left (North) along McLeod Street at the end of the match.

Can The Disabled Supporters Association Coach please drop off at the away turnstiles before the road closure on McLeod Street. It will then park up as directed by Stewards on Russell Road and return once it is safe to do so.

Turnstiles open at 2pm. Six turnstiles will be used for this area. Tickets are for ALLOCATED seating.

Supporters are kindly asked to sit in their designated seat and not to congregate on the concourse or in the vomitories.

Please expect to be searched before entry. This is normal practice and supporters should be used to such action by Stewards and Police. Please open up any coats or bags if requested.

Strictly no pyrotechnic devices please and that includes in the streets and stadium. These devices are very dangerous.

No smoking of cigarettes or E-cigs is permitted.

Prolonged standing can be a problem, please abide by any direction given by stewards.

Flags must conform to relevant fire regulations. Flags must not be offensive. No flags with a pole in excess of 1m will be permitted. There will be no space for individual flags to be draped over seating areas as we have sold out this section. Please be directed by stewards on these matters. The Stadium Safety Team will have the final say as to whether a flag is permitted into the stadium.

Whilst till rolls have not been a recent feature, Hearts request that they are not deployed.

Heart of Midlothian FC operate the same rules on unacceptable behaviour as all other clubs in the SPFL. Please read the information on the Hearts Web Site and on the back of your ticket for further details.

If you witness any unacceptable behaviour, please report it to stewards or Police at the time. This can help defuse situations quickly and reduces the need for a lengthy enquiry after the event.

Safe travels everyone. Thanks for your support as always. COYR!
