[Stoney]

I have no records for the 90's but dont remember there being too many poorly attended games

 

the previous low was 14,915 which was the first 12.30 saturday kick off on setanta.

the board need to take notice of this as hit a new low. there was a rangers match at pittodrie last night and I was washing my car, any dons fan I spoke to didn't care and some didn't even know there was a match on, a few of them are guys that went along to pittodrie quite a lot.

[vanderark14]

I presume you mean against the Huns?

 

Apparently only 8,000 tickets sold for Sunday also.....FFS!

 

Last Sunday scottish cup semi final I remember was against Hibs and we had hardly any one there that day.

[sooth_stander]

I reckon you'd have to go back to the mid 60s to find an attendance as low as that for a visit of the Huns.

 

Maybe Kevin Stirling can confirm!!

Yes sir.

 

That many? im surprised at that to be honest. Considering the way were are playing that is a very healthy support. Just a shame they couldnt have picked up a win last night and maybes break the 10k mark.

Yeah but the ones who did go were all top boys.

 

Probably one of my top 10 games as a dons fan

I remember it well, I had an excellent day out and I didn't expect us to win it.

[Stoney]

No I dont think anyone did, it was a wonder goal from latapy and we were toiling badly, i just remember bodies flying down the stair when dow scored his winner.

 

Aye robo, sure it will be a good trip. Hopefully we can get a result as dying to get back to a final. If we had won our last two games i probably would have bottled it and went down.

brilliant bounce when super dow scored that goal, the ground was more or less empty from what I remember too, my elbows and knee's were cut to feck after the goal

6300 up to kick off last night.

 

Crowd last night was actually more than i expected.

Our game is slowly dying. It's terrible i know but I didn't even know we were playing the huns until i got a text from a mate at the game. Even then i had no interest and only checked the score this morning. What is happening with AFC and Scottish football as a whole to make me not give a f**k about my own club?

 

Last nights attendance proves that Rangers and Celtic aren't the big draw they, and the rest of the SPL think they are. When people throw about figures regarding the difference in revenue between finishing in the top 6 or bottom 6 they tend to use the highest gates as an example. They forget that if you are in 6th and playing the OF it's a meaningless game and nobody really gives a f*uck but the OF still get the lions share of everything because "everyone" will go see the OF play. B*llocks. It's time the OF woke up and either help make Scottish football more competitive by making it fairer or they can eff off. The other teams need to get together and force the issue. Either the OF are with them or they are against them. End of.

[RUL]

There's no way we've sold 1,700 tickets last night for Sunday and 6,300 is about right i'd say for where I expected sales to be for Sunday.

 

Awful crowd last night, thought the fans backed the team pretty well considering.

You've got it bang on mate.

 

There are only 2 teams in Scotland, What's the point in playing them when decision's on and off the field towards these two go there way.

 

1. Rangers game on Wednesday, The ref was beyond a joke.

2. Our ref last night was beyond a joke.

3. Rangers players and Mcoist get let off with Murder.

 

The laugh of it is that the the SFA are looking into taking the QC to court, I say bring it on, The wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

 

It verges on saying our league is as corrupt as the Italian League.

 

People are now voting with their feet, Before to long Celtic and Rangers will no longer be able to sustain itself unless they are bank rolled.

[Dynamo]

Probably one of my top 10 games as a dons fan

 

Cracking support down that night! Cracking bounce!

[Pudgie]

This is us down to the bare bones of support for the semi. Those that were there last night will be the same people, give or take 1000 folk, that will be there on Sunday. Faith's gone. Serious low point for the club!

[Bluto10]

thats poor.

 

aberdeen as a club really do need to do more to get folk interested and attend.

 

its like an episode of the apprentice.

if lord surger was evaluating the clubs and their attendances the first club in scotland he'd pick on and say ''why didnt you sell more'' is aberdeen.

 

f**k sake that tuped c**t milne is supposed to be an entrepenuer. how on earth can he be so uslesss at selling the club he is in charge of.

maybe he canna be arsed.

Those there on Sunday will give the team great support and the support won't be diluted by hangers on and people there for the day oot.

[dunc_afc]

It really is a sad state of affairs. Never before in all my time as a Dandy have I felt such a lack of concern at what is happening down Pittodrie Street. Had no interest in last night, not going on Sunday despite it being the first scottish cup semi I could have made since the Hibs game 10 years ago (when we nearly got relegated).

 

Losing interest in internationals as we keep getting forced down the rankings and are now in an impossible position to qualify for anything.

 

Lost interest in the champions league and any other foreign leagues as they are about as competitive as the spl these days.

 

Basically the big club cartels have done what they set out to do, football is a closed shop governed by tv and self interest. If you arent lucky enough to have been born into supporting one of the big clubs or are just a barefaced glory hunter then football has very little to get excited about

Explain how Hearts and Hibs are able to attract more fans

Another ex fan.

 

Heaps of them on the go.

ahh, those were the days, when Dow scored I ran down the stairs at the corner flag of the north stand, then up to the half way line to bounce at the fence where the Hibs fans were, gave my scarf to Andreas Mayer at the end, a great day!

Absolutely, I cannot agree more.

 

Standing up to the so-called 'big-two' is the key to solving our ills. Until we do this, we will be shafted on all issues.

[Stoneybloke]

With the apathy that seem to be prevailing at present, and it's not surprising with what we have had to suffer for some time now, it's a question about whether there is a long term decline in progress.

 

It is probably inevitable in some ways, because there has been nothing to stimulate any new generations of supporters for many years now. Most supporters I know started at an early age, either with mates or parents. There's also the fact that it's getting more difficult to justify financially for many out there. I think the future looks bleak.

Was at that semi final in 2000 also, mainly due to the fact that was the year I lived in Glasgow so out in Glasgow to celebrate afterwards as well!
