Bluto10 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'm sure if you were marketing manager at the Dons there would indeed be a regular 0000 attendance bluto. i'm a marketing hotshot i'll have you know. Link to comment
tup Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Is it Sky, Man United or Rupert Murdoch who employs you to talk shit on their behalf on the forums of small fry clubs who you know nothing about? Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 so what are the board doing to stop this?presumably, with the club being skint, they must be pulling out all the stops to aleviate this drain of income. and are there any AFC pressure groups out of interest? there was a trust a while back but fuck knows what they are doing nowadays. I honestly don't think that there is anything the club can do short of getting in a sugar daddy. reducing prices won't automatically bring back the crowds. What this country needs is healthy competition. As tup has said the interest grows in the CL in the knock out stages - why?? because its competitive. Link to comment

Pressur Groups? FFS we're nae wanting the reduction of student fees. There're many supporters clubs. Link to comment
tup Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I suggest horsing fire extinguishers from the windows in the RDS stairwell when there are huge crowds gathered below, bound to hit someone. Link to comment

Don't think pressure groups work look at that green and gold shite at Old Trafford no sign of the Glaziers moving any time soon Link to comment
tup Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 What about FC United of Manchester? They were started with good intentions, now they're complete pish, who never seen that coming? So even fans of your own club canna make any difference bluto. Link to comment
diamondsr4ever Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 West Ham fans are the only other team I can think of in England that gets the whole 'fitba' and 'atmosphere' thing. No plastic flag waving, a proper fitba club and passionate fans. I can't say that about many other clubs in England. this is why the olympic stadium gets a thumbs down by many, upton park has always been known for its atmosphere, regardless of the league we are in. i have to admit, ive seen many a 40- 50yr old going mintal doon their with stewards and police and both sets of authorities backing doon, normally their kids are still seated shitting themselves, once these boys are through the gate its game on for anything. TUP should take a visit and see that there is still a thing called atmosphere and passion at english fitba Link to comment
Stoney Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 What about FC United of Manchester? They were started with good intentions, now they're complete pish, who never seen that coming? So even fans of your own club canna make any difference bluto. Just missed out in the play offs last year after being promoted every season. Away to move to a new ground (their own one) seem to be doing quite well. But if you dont know just make it up. Tupanory Link to comment
Dynamo Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Aye I also thought FC were doing well. Think they average around 2k a week which is more than all other teams in their league. Link to comment

Bluto10 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Don't think pressure groups work look at that green and gold shite at Old Trafford no sign of the Glaziers moving any time soon aye but thats on a massive scale at a club thats successful. aberdeen have dwindling fans and are in the doldrums. did UFC ever success? canna quite midn what they were campaigning for. boardroom change maybe?

Bluto10 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 no I just think your post was daft and not worth debating.so in other words you know that aberdeen make zero effort to generate fans and help them come to pittodrie. Link to comment
diamondsr4ever Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 so in other words you know that aberdeen make zero effort to generate fans and help them come to pittodrie. all scottish clubs have reducing numbers, and its fukk all to do with pies, bovril or free buses Link to comment

They are pish and will never be more than a novelty. What about FC Aberdeen of Aberdeen? You were away to start that up one night in a fit of temper whilst blazing. How's it going with that project?

tup Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 We should ban women and children from the football, it's a man's domain, and they should be at home where they belong. Mannies only. Pittodrie would be stowed oot. Link to comment
