Out of interest how often have we played on 29th February in our history and any stats much appreciated

Would have thought it would be more than 5 times in history but there you go...

surprisingly, the London Hearts website seems incomplete given that we beat Rangers 1-0 in the cup on Saturday February 29th 2020 with a 5.30 kick off (shortly before the Covid shutdown)

Not really. As long as leap years come round once every 4 years, Saturday leap days come round once every 28 years, as the dates of the games on the London Hearts website show. (The reason that didn’t apply in 1896/1908 was that 1900 was not a leap year, unlike 2000.) For most of our history, midweek games were unusual in February.

Interesting. I know we have never beat Hibs on a Thursday, another bizarre factoid.
