A 5 year younger McGinn and Hayes, or a Kenny McLean or Ryan Christie type (we had all 4 simultaneously at one stage) and I’d be a lot more confident. If you look at Qarabag results, they’re invariably very tight. They don’t let many in. Link to comment

Our away support is great, the best when you factor in travelling, expense etc. But the home support is the opposite. Strange. I won’t open up the debate about “central belt” Dons support boosting the away fan base ? Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Let's wait and see. I think they'll sell a few in the next 24 hours. It's a combination of some folk still being wary of big crowds, folk watching their pennies and Qarabag not being a household name like Sociedad were. I think we'll hit 17000 plus by kick off 2 Link to comment

Folk will say “aye, but they’re only selling 10k”But that’s more than twice their normal amount. St Johnstone let season ticket holders in for free and their other prices were far lower than ours. Celtic fans were protesting and complaining about their tickets being £19, let alone our prices! Maybe families who shelled out for the last game can't afford to do so again for this game? Who knows - if the club wanted to guarantee a quick sell out they should've made the tickets £20/£10. They'll still get close to a sell out with these prices so hardly a disaster. Link to comment

Big Hat Logan Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Not confident about this but with this team you can’t really write them off or predict what will happen. Hedges is a big loss. Most of the goals we have conceded so far have been of our own doing. Stupid mistakes, needless challenges, Jack Gurr wondering what the round thing is etc. If Brown can keep the players switched on then you never know. Link to comment
