Hearts to relocate directors box within the main stand at Tynecastle

Hearts will reposition the directors box at Tynecastle in time for the coming season.

Since the new main stand opened in 2017, owner Ann Budge and her fellow board members have been located in section PR in the rows immediately behind the press box and concourse in the first few rows of the upper sections of the stand.

This has proved problematic on occasions, especially after poor results at Tynecastle when fans have, on occasion, let their feelings be known towards Budge as they made their way out of the stadium.

The positioning has also required stewards to form human barriers to funnel directors and guests along the concourse and in to the suites inside to try and avoid congestion.

From this season though, the Hearts directors and those visiting from opposition clubs will be relocated to the back of the main stand.
