Good.

 

Cue tight fisted hoors who buy a season ticket to save money complaining they want their money back.

[K-9]

Yup. Well done afc.

[muttonhumper]

AFC chat inspired.

[Stoney]

Cracking idea - wonder where they stole it from

[tup]

I would suggest it's common sense to give away unsold tickets rather than any previously unheard of initiative.

 

Especially when the team is struggling.

 

Hopefully all these freeloaders can drown out the likes of Stoney's negativity.

ABERDEEN FC, I know you're looking in.

 

WELL DONE :thumbs:

 

it would be good if one of the folk at AFC came and a had a wee post on here now and again. I remeber Keith Wyness used to do web chats.

People are allowed to criticise but can still back the team tupster!

Wonder if Councillor West takes advantage of a free childs ticket.

Is this the cunt that is 16?

 

How the fuck the council expect folk to take them seriously is beyond me, 16 year olds need slapped, not listened to.

 

They should be seen and not heard FFS.

Under 12's should be free every game.

"Da can you take me to the game, I have a free season ticket?"

 

(Shit) "Ok son I'll pay

[ollie1903]

Under 12's (and Under 12's Youth Academy Team) should be free every game.

"Da can you take me to the game, I have a free season ticket?"

[tup]

So only kids who are good at football should get in for nothing?

[diamondsr4ever]

So only kids who are good at football should get in for nothing?

 

the product of the youth academy 100% yes.

[tup]

But then you're saying to kids who are not good at football that unfortunately due to the fact you are pish you will have to pay?

 

The club could hold trials, not for signing for the Dons, but for getting free tickets for the match, only those deemed good enough get in.

 

 

 

 

 

It either has to be free for all kids, or none at all.

[RTYD]

:thumbs:

 

Even Tup would agree

 

 

Himmin I get enough grief already without you changing my quotes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its a football club, and all their players should be present at the games ( where possible) and it should be free, this is not about giving the best players entrance foc, its getting them into the mind set of being part of the club and enhancing their match day experience and their attitude and routine.

 

there should be more insentives for younger kids, that are not part of the club, especially under the age of 12.

I agree they should get in for nothing, but only if all kids do.

 

I don't agree they should be treated as more important than the other kids simply because they play youth football for the Dons given that 95% of them will never play for the club anyway.

 

Otherwise, in the jungle of the playground, these kids are going to lord it over those less talented, and those less talented are not going to attend Pittodrie because of that.

 

It must be all inclusive.

[fine-n-dandy]

Great that the club are finally getting back into this & I hope it happens a LOT more often.

 

Not complaining but they could have done even more tickets really. Just as well to get the attendance up by 5k than 2.5k really or maybe they dinny have enough pies & programs?

I would imagine they lord it anyway TUP, anyway I dont agree with ye.

[Foster14]

Cannae see many of them getting hooked on AFC with what will be served up this weekend...

 

Good effort nonetheless, but should be a more regular occurrence, and I agree with tup, in a less exclusive manner. Should be an offer of a free under-12 ticket alongside any adult purchase or something along that lines...

[Stoney]

Dunno like this is what got me hooked and my first game was a 0-0 draw against hibs i think

[tup]

Aye they can lord it in terms of football ability by all means, lording it financially should not be additional to that.

 

Otherwise you are saying as a club to kids, sorry, not only are you no use at football, but if you want to watch it, you will have to pay through the nose for it. Meanwhile, these lads who are good are getting in for nothing.

 

Hardly fair is it?

[Jazzer_Bett]

Great stuff.

 

The merkland should just be opened to all weans under 10 for free - it would sound like a swimming gala but at least its atmosphere.

 

Invest in the kids now and they'll invest in you as they grow......

im not asking for kids to pay through the nose, I think all players that play for AFC should be at the games on a saturday, regardless if they support the club or not, many dont. its about getting them into a routine and mind set to be their as part of the club on a matchday.

 

I dont see it as a perk, more of a learning curve.

 

this has nothing to do with paying fans, other incentives like u12 free with an adult would be a good starting point.

Yes but they should not be treated differently than other kids in the area on the basis that they are better at football.

 

Otherwise you have a two-tier society.

 

Which we do anyway, but, if the club seriously want to attract new fans, they cannot simply let one demographic of children in, they must do it for all, even the poorest kids.

all the club would be doing is letting their own players in FOC, and it should be compulsory to attend

(where possible)

 

the paying public are a different kettle o fish and incentives should be in place for that.

I'm only pullin' yer chain min :thumbs:

 

Have we nae been doon this road afore

 

For the record, I think ALL children under 16 should be allowed in for free. 12 and under with a full paying adult.

 

Himmin I get enough grief already without you changing my quotes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't believe it!
