Hearts supporters have a chance to see how the team is shaping up for the new season today (Saturday) with an open training day at Tynecastle.

And the best bit is it is completely FREE to see new manager Csaba Laszlo and his squad in action as they prepare for the following day's pre-season friendly against Hull City.

Csaba and fitness coach Tom Ritchie will be 'miked-up' to talk the players - and supporters - through the session, giving an insight into just how the team prepares in its final session before a match.

The training session will take place this Saturday, 2nd August, at Tynecastle and gates will open at 11am, with access via Gorgie Road turnstiles into the Gorgie Stand. Entry is free and seats are unreserved.

The team will take the field at 12 noon, train for an hour and then, after a quick freshen up, sign autographs and be available for photos in the Gorgie Suite until about 2.30pm.

There will be entertainment for everyone - especially the kids!

Face painters and community coaches will be on hand to help keep the young ones - and even some of the older ones - amused. Hearts ever popular Speed Cage where you can test your shooting power is open (£1 for three shots - all proceeds to the Education and Community Trust), whilst Hearts Refresh food outlets will be open serving up tasty lunchtime treats. Find all that in the car park beside the Gorgie Stand (access from inside the stand only).

There will also be lots of prizes to give away for those who attend, and we're planning some very special 'audience' participation for the end of the training session - you'll need to be there to find out what!

On the pitch you'll see your favourites including regulars Laryea Kingston, Andy Driver, Eggert Jonsson and Christophe Berra mixing it with some of the brightest young talent in the country such as Gary Glen, David Templeton, Jason Thompson, Steve Husband, and Matjej Rapnik. Who knows, there may even be a new face or two!

Tickets for the following day's match against Hull City will be available from the Ticket Centre and the Hearts Superstore will be open for anyone wanting to buy the brand new home or away kit for the new season.

It's a brand new era - and with the new manager calling upon everyone who loves Hearts to be together then this is another brilliant opportunity!

Don't miss out - remember, gates open Saturday at 11am!
