"Edinburgh Derby great atmosphere"

as always going to a derby great atmosphere fans very close to the pitch which makes it a intimidating stadium to go to but overall great atmosphere, but the view isnt great from the lower section of the roseburn stand (away fans) if everybody is standing.

Location

Ground very easy to reach from either waverley or the closer train station of haymarket both stations are central with haymarket being within 15mins walking distance to the ground and about 30mins from waverley. Parking is rather hard unless you fancy a walk of about 20mins as surounding streets are usually very busy on matchday.

View

Seats are comfortable but are your usual plastic seats. Leg room is limited for a person over 6ft, the view of the pitch is good from most places in the ground apart from maybe the lower tier of the roseburn stand if the away fans decide to stand during the game.

Facilities

facilities are good inside the ground but for the larger support you might find yourself in a bit of a queue. Toilets are good and clean.

Food & Drink

food & drink at grounds now is becoming rather expensive so I tend to not to go to the pie stand during the game, but prices are upwards of £2.20 for a pie which is a bit of a joke. Queues can occur for teams with a larger following but Iimagion it is usually easier for teams with a smaller following.

Police & Stewards

police and stewarding especially for games against hibs and celtic for hearts you will find that police are out in numbers and can be intimidating but once you are in the ground stewards are helpful in getting you to your seat.

Atmosphere

atmosphere is great in a full stadium as the ground is very tight and steep which adds to it, hearts fans are very vocal at games against hibs and celtic and it can be intimidating at times for away fans, but overall great experience and a good stadium to visit.
