This merger gave the club admission to senior level for the first time, taking Tollcross United's place in the EoSFL First Division. Tynecastle played their first ever senior match in a pre-season friendly (5/8/05) against Hibernian, which ended in a 2–2 draw.

Tynecastle originally played at the Fernieside Recreation Ground, which was Tollcross United's home since 1971. They shared Saughton Enclosure with Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale from 2015. The team moved to the Meggetland Sports Complex in 2018, where they share the main stadium grass pitch with Boroughmuir RFC.
Meggetland is a multi-purpose sports pavilion, the complex consists of multiple astroturf and grass pitches for football, rugby, hockey, and cricket.
The main stadium has a smart segment shaped stand filled with blue seats. There's a length of terracing opposite which is out of bounds. At the entrance, outside the social club is a large seated area which sits above the goal as a good view point, plus there's standing section underneath.

Tynecastle’s best spell came after they conceded a second goal with less than ten minutes remaining. They pulled a goal back and could have equalised, but were denied by a magnificent save from the Glenrothes ‘keeper.

A smashing day out in Edinburgh, which started with some successful record shopping, picking up bargains in Vinyl Villains and Elvis Shakespeare. I stayed around the north end of the city, having a pint in the Old Eastway Tap and the Artisan bar, before catching the number 10 bus to the match.
Afterwards I called into Mathers for a pint then met up with my mate James(who had been to the Hearts match) for a few jars in the Jinglin’ Geordie, which is one of my favourite pubs in the city.
