Vol. 1 No. 26, season 1986-87, sponsored by mita copiers; programme 60p; match sponsor A. Kelly Ltd. Heart of Midlothian Football Club P.L.C., instituted 1874, S.F.A. members since 1875 and founder members of the Scottish League in 1890. The club panel lists chairman \u003cb\u003eA. Wallace Mercer\u003c\/b\u003e, secretary Les Porteous, first team coach Walter Borthwick and second team coach John Binnie, with \u003cb\u003eAlex MacDonald and Sandy Jardine\u003c\/b\u003e as the celebrated management partnership. Honours: Scottish League champions 1895, 1897, 1958 and 1960; Scottish F.A. Cup winners 1891, 1896, 1901, 1906 and 1956; Scottish League Cup winners 1954-55, 1958-59, 1959-60 and 1962-63; First Division champions 1980. Ground and registered office, Tynecastle Park, Gorgie Road, Edinburgh. Chairman's Views, signed A. Wallace Mercer: everyone within the club shared in the extreme disappointment felt by those who attended \u003cb\u003eHampden the previous Saturday\u003c\/b\u003e, and little more needs to be said beyond what was covered in the press and by the managers. The club has battled for some time with an injury and suspension situation that has taken its toll. The ambition has not gone; supporters will realise that the ultimate aim of improving the squad depends on obtaining the right recruits, and there have been only two occasions since October 1986 on which the full squad has been fully available - so the side has acquitted itself infinitely better over the season than the bare table suggests. \u003cb\u003eAlan McLaren and Sean Docherty\u003c\/b\u003e continue to be recognised by the Scottish Under-16 team. He draws attention to the \u003cb\u003eSupporters Rally at the Playhouse on Sunday 26 April 1987, the proceeds going to The Walter Kidd Testimonial Fund\u003c\/b\u003e, with tickets at GBP4 and GBP3 for the star-studded spectacular.
