diamondsr4ever Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 They are youths and do not sign contracts therefore adults associated with them (who will pay at the gate) should not benefit. It must be ALL kids, not just AFC youth ones. I think the club should do everything in its power to encourage the kids that play for them and their parents into the stadium, they are with the youths for a reason.....huge potential signing targets. not all fathers and mothers are Aberdeen fans, or love football, the sooner the club engage with the families of their youth set-up the more likely the family will support their kids signing for Aberdeen. at this moment in time and readin between the lines, it looks like they dont give a flying fukk.

diamondsr4ever Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Well then. Same goes. a popcorn seller is paid. a youth player is not. Link to comment
tup Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 a youth player is not. He would be if he got in for nothing though. Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 a popcorn seller is paid. a youth player is not. The cinema makes a profit. The football club does not. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 He would be if he got in for nothing though. No he'd still not be getting paid. If I give you some venison for free for your work at the lodge would that be you getting paid or a gift? Link to comment
Nealey Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 If your son was selling popcorn at the cinema, would you expect to get to see every film for free? Popcorn sellers, or cinema staff as a whole, get to see the films for free. Along with a friend. Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Popcorn sellers, or cinema staff as a whole, get to see the films for free. Along with a friend. Not every film. Some cinemas allow them access to a fixed number of films in a month. Not free reign to go as often as they like with their family and other assorted hangers-on. Link to comment
diamondsr4ever Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 AFC are a professional football club, the parents of the players will be the ones making the big decisions come contract time....get them in, look after them, make them part of the family.....it wont cost millions, Their kids could potentialy be the next Fyfve, Pawlett etc etc let them see the club wants their loons, come on down mr and mrs tup, heres yer tickets, cant wait to see you....

That's fair enough but there's no harm whatsoever, I don't think, in saying to kids and especially those representing their home town club "come to the home games for free, it's on us. You're a valued part of the club so we think it's only right we treat you as such" Getting kids through the gates, albeit for free, would then lead on to them wanting to come back when they're older and repeating the sequence with their own kids.

vanderark14 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I think we will win tonight 2-0 Arnason to get his first goal for us. Mohammed to tap in the 2nd towards the end. Up the dons :scarf: :scarf: Link to comment
K-9 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Wish I could go tonight, going to Iprix though..... Hope Chalali makes the impact Zero did the night I saw his debut (against Falkirk was it?)Rangers don't play tonight - they play Thursday. Coming out of the closet hun!! Link to comment

Fair enough let the kid in for nothing but f@ck letting the parents and hanger ons in for nothing, if my loons got the chance to play for the Dons I would be more and glad to pay.It should be an honour for the kid to play for the club not the other way round.

Coopy100 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hertz a hink.3-1Indeed it was. I'm sure guntveit scored a cracker and Zero came on and chased the hearts keeper down and nearly got the ball off him. Link to comment
SkyeDon Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Out I think we will win boosting the confidence further especially ahead of the visit to Ibrox on Sunday. Vernon x 2. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Just like MP's, we must declare these, even if they do not give rise to a tax liability. Only above a certain level of expense. Anyway back on topic I'm not going but we'll win in extra time. Link to comment
ollie1903 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've no problem with the fact I have to pay, and would never expect to not have to. For anyone who has only browsed the topic and not read it in full, for the record, my stance on paying, above. Good points raised from all sides though. I do think the club should do more to entice ALL children through the door, but I find it a particular disgrace that the youth academy kids are not allowed in. As I said previously, unless the first team is away from home when the kids are at home, then I thinkit should be required of them to be there. Link to comment
