The Trophy Cabinet

Adopting Tynecastle means Scotland Scottish Cup results start mattering to you, a club going since 1928. Not a novelty, a habit.

Old enough to matter
1928 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Winners: 2008–09, 2019–20 (Conference B) and Winners: 2017–18. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Cathedral football
Meggetland, Edinburgh holds around 4,388,500. Even a routine league game arrives with a noise floor most clubs only reach in a semi-final.
Easy weekend
Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is about 9km from the ground, and Craiglockhart railway station is 0km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.

Ground: Meggetland, Edinburgh. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
