Hearts Fc thanks supporters before Falkirk's Tynecastle Park visit
hearts fc put out a supporter message before Falkirk’s visit to Tynecastle Park on the club’s final home game of season 2025/26. The club thanked fans for backing the side all campaign and said the matchday would bring familiar traditions, tight crowd control and a post-match lap of honour.
Tynecastle Park send-off
Heart of Midlothian said it has been an exciting and memorable season with the potential to be historic. It added that the support had been supreme at home and on the road, calling the backing something “It is not, and will never be, taken for granted.”
At full time, the first team squad will complete a lap of honour around the pitch. The club also said Colin Chisholm will perform another rousing rendition of the Hearts Song as the players make their way onto the pitch, with flames and controlled pyrotechnics part of the entrance.
Pitch access at full time
The sharpest instruction in the message was simple: “We therefore implore supporters not to make any attempts to enter the pitch.” Hearts tied that warning to the end-of-game celebrations, making clear that the lap of honour is for the players, not a signal for fans to cross the barrier line.
The club said “everyone in maroon deserves it.” That line framed the day as a thank-you to supporters, but it also came with a hard boundary on where fans should stay once the final whistle goes.
Robertson Avenue to McLeod Street
Road closures may be in place around the stadium at full time, from Robertson Avenue to McLeod Street. Hearts said an in-stadium announcement will be made if those closures are in place, so supporters inside Tynecastle Park should listen for that update before leaving.
The message ended with a direct return to the crowd that had carried the team through the campaign: “Once again, thank you and we look forward to welcoming you back to Gorgie for the last time this season.” For anyone heading to the match, the practical takeaways are clear — stay off the pitch, watch for the announcement, and expect movement restrictions around Tynecastle Park once the game ends.
