GeorgeStreetReds Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Semi tickets on sale from tonight for Top Reds: https://tickets.afc.co.uk/default.aspx Was having a look at our previous recent semi final crowds on AFC Heritage https://www.afcheritage.org/matches/fixtures-and-results Looks like the best figure they have for a semi final crowd is v Rangers 2-1 loss in 22/23 which is 13,850 - hopefully we can beat that for this game. (They don't have Aberdeen specific figures for some of the games I remember us having big supports, Dundee United 14/15 at Hampden, St Johnstone at Ibrox 13/14, Hibs at Hampden 12/13 or QOTS 07/08.)

NEM Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Was 18k or 19k at United semi final. Would imagine we'll take about 15k to this Link to comment
DukEnthusiast Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Looking forward to beating a team that isn't Hibs in the Scottish Cup Semi for the first time in my lifetime - come on those dons. Link to comment

Horrendous isn’t it. 2 Scottish cup semi final wins in the last 31 years. Both against Hibs. Link to comment

DandyWarhol Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Maybe I'm being pessimistic but I don't think we'll take much more than 10,000 to this. I've been surprised at the amount of folk I know who normally go to semi finals who are giving this a miss - "I'll just watch it on tv" etc. In our group we had more folk who went to the Celtic Scottish cup semi last season than are going this time. Get the impression folk can't be arsed with the hassle. Of course that might not be the feeling across our support as a whole. I think the humping in the other semi earlier in the season has dented the enthusiasm - possibly also our poor record at Hampden and just the general way this season has panned out. Link to comment

Kick off time and general cost of travelling to Glasgow is not helping. Link to comment

Don’t under estimate the amount of folk on holiday. It’s Easter weekend. I know 3 folk who are away that weekend, 2 of which would definitely have gone, one maybe. I also think there’s quite a bit of apathy from some Dons fans to that dump as well. Hampden is horrendous to get to/from. It’s a shite football ground behind the goal. 12.30 will put some off, although whilst it’s a pain in the hole of a kick off time, it’s not really an excuse on a Saturday. 12,000 I’ll say.

I think part of the apathy might be down to the fact that when we win we will no doubt be facing Celtic in the final. 1 Link to comment

We’ve got about 8 thousand £30 tickets available. Pretty much same price as it is to get into Pittodrie 1 Link to comment
