The Edinburgh club are preparing for a big day later this month
Hearts are preparing for a historic afternoon against Leyton Orient later this month, with anniversary celebrations, a pre-match supporters’ march and enforced road closures in Edinburgh. The English League One side visit Tynecastle Park on Saturday, 13 July, and a memorable occasion for both clubs is in the offing.
Orient and Hearts share a bond dating back to World War I, when players from both clubs responded to Lord Kitchener’s call for volunteers to form a new army. This was to supplement existing forces, but heavy casualties were sustained. Three Hearts players and three from Orient died on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, and more would follow.
This year marks Hearts’ 150th anniversary and the Londoners will visit for a commemorative friendly. Beforehand, thousands of fans will march from the Haymarket War Memorial to Tynecastle, with temporary road closures in place. Supporters of both sides are advised to meet in Morrison Street at 1pm before walking the ‘Maroon Mile’ led by 150 pipers and drummers.
The following roads are due to be closed from 12pm until 2pm for the march:
“Supporters of both teams are invited to join the march up the ‘Maroon Mile’ which will be led by 150 piper and drummers under the stewardship of Drum Major, Mike Lindsay. As well as the massed pipes and drums, Leyton Orient’s, O’s Bugle Band will also be playing along the route.
“Supporters will be asked to congregate in Morrison Street and fall in behind the pipes and drums. The club are agreeing final details with authorities and precise information of timings, along with maps, will be made available shortly on the club's website.”
