Byrne Baby Byrne Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I couldn't make the last game as I was on holiday with 3000 folk. Will be at this one though. Actually my first trip to Pittodrie since Celtic beat us in February 2020 Link to comment

Tord31 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Surely team has to be this on Thursday injured: Considine and Hedges Lewis Ramsay Gallagher McCrorie Mackenzie Hayes Ferguson Brown Ojo JET Ramirez subs: Woods, Gurr, Jenks, McGeouch, McGinn, Campbell, McLennan, Kennedy (in from the cold) and 4 youngsters (Hancock? Ngwenya? Ruth? Ritchie?). Link to comment

eddiec Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I took a single ticket in the main stand last time (nae pals) but i was quite surprised at the number of empty seats even though it was supposedly sold out where i was i can only assume that some folk buy tickets then don't bother as there were just too many to be the odd car break down or someone sick and the people not making it in time for the game Link to comment

RedRichard Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 i'd hope we'd make 17k + for what is the biggest financial windfall game in our club's history (I may have royally fucked up there, someone will correct me if I'm wrong). Link to comment

Tord31 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 13 hours ago, Tord31 said: Merkland has 24 seats left. Main Stand has 246. South Home section has 823 South normal away Section has 656 but tickets that have not been put up for sale yet. Maybe 450? RDS Front has 236 RDS Rear has 145 but tickets not on sale yet (first dibs to 100% hospitality capacity). Small number likely 100-200. RDS Upper has 517 but lots of tickets not on sale yet. It could be as much as 1500?f Shifted about 500 tickets yesterday. Merkland - Sold Out Main - 138 left South Home - 596 left South Away - 549 (plus about 500 unlikely to be released) RDS Front - 127 left RDS Rear - 106 left (plus some amount still to be released) RDS Upper - 403 left (plus about 1500 yet to be released) So 1900 to sell for an unofficial sell out and around 3900 to sell for a full sell out. Puts tickets sales at around 14,100 I think with two days to go. On for 16,000 to 17,000 It'll be a cracking atmosphere by looks of it as South is really filling up with still two days to go Link to comment
sheepcrooky Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The weather looks like it will be good. Always adds a few hundred as well. The lad NG on Facebook organising a mini whip round for tickets for families that can’t afford it. Nice touch. Link to comment

Not like him to jump on the bandwagon. I'd maybe consider partaking if it wasn't him involved in it. A horrible cunt of a man. 1 Link to comment

Kiriakov33 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hope the council open up the beach by Thursday. Traffic on king street has been an absolute nightmare the last week. If you are driving to the game and the beach is closed I would strongly advise parking a wee bit further away and walking. Link to comment

I think there was a lot of people assuming that it was the price putting people off. Sure there were 1 or 2 anecdotes of people not going due to price, but there wasn't a tsunami of 3,000 people screaming that they weren't going because it was too expensive. Dave's been let down again by fans shouting their mouths off, just like he was at the Huns league cup semi. 1 3 Link to comment

Dave's been let down again by fans shouting their mouths off, just like he was at the Huns league cup semi. I'd say that those who wanted to go to the game went regardless of the price. The concern though was that if they kept the price up, those who went wouldn't have went the week after. Anyone who didn't go, and said it was because of the price were either in a small minority or weren't going to go anyways. Hindsight is a great thing, the expectation was that it was going to sell out because its a) a massive game and b) lowered the price. The problem with Aberdeen is that it's full of folk that will only go if it's Rangers/Celtic and a big cup game. Most of those cunts will never have heard of Qarabag and probably thinking the Europa Conference League is some diddy cup because their big English team don't bother to field players for it. 1 Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 The ticket sales are going well but its disappointing weve not got more turning out. I've been surprised at the lack of appetite for all our home and away games. I thought folk would be clambering for football after the lockdowns. Link to comment
