jmothecat Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 You'd think Aberdeen fans would be more up for their biggest game since the Ferguson era.I'm going to the UFC in Manchester next Saturday and paid £400 for tickets for an event that starts at 11pm and ends after 5am, with our train home not being until after 9am, so I dream of jumping on a megabus at 7am with a few beers and paying £25 to see my team play in a game of football that they're huge favourites to get to a final in.

lubo_blaha Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Biggest game since the Ferguson era? They've not been in our division since the Ferguson era so you can probably forgive him for not having a clue about us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 At the rate our injury list is growing I can see us asking Aberdeen if they fancy making it a 7-a-side game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Train is £58 for himself, and around £116 if he takes the kids. He's not long out of hospital so driving is out of the question. So he thought about organising a bus. He reckons he can probably talk enough people into filling a 20-seater, but even then the cheapest price is going to work out at £32 each. For him and two kids that's £96. That's before you take into account it'll cost him £45 for the tickets, on top of what else he'll pay throughout the day. And he has to get up at the crack of dawn which isn't an appealing prospect. And, no disrespect to Morton, but it's a lower division side at what will be a half-empty Hampden in autumn. On the other hand, he can stay in bed, get up at lunchtime, invite a few mates round, and they can all watch it on the TV. He spends no money and has to put up with zero hassle. He's not ruled himself out yet but I can't really blame him if he decides to go for the latter option. I hear what you say and hope yer mate is keeping well. But believe it or not not all Morton fans live local and with a one off game like this I think theyll be travelling from all over the globe paying hundreds maybe thousands to see it. I do agree with you about the travel on same day of the game and prices as yous are travelling from the north-east but that was the SFA who decided were the venue was. Anyway hope your mate and family makes it even tho a reduced crowd but both our supporters can make it a great atmoshere for the players and neutrals watching..

GiGi Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 It's televised so it's on early. Not the first or last time fans will be inconvenienced for the take of tv but if you really want to go and follow your team then waking up a couple of hours earlier shouldn't be any great obstacle. We've all done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 The neutral game is in the home city of the other side and is an early kick off despite being at the other side of the country from Aberdeen. Pretty ridiculous planning all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy in Aberdeen might or might not go to the game with his kids. If he goes it will cost money, if he doesn't its free. So its the same process that every football fan in the country goes through when deciding if he/she will go to a game or not. Thanks for posting this totally pointless piece of information.

Wren Road Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 A simple solution for the moaning Aberdeen fans amongst you. If it's such a drama then don't attend. Problem solved. Ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Game clearly should have been played in a neutral city at a time that is reasonable for fans. Choosing Hampden over Easter Road is bizarre. Would have been a far better atmosphere instead of a half empty Hampden. The kick off time shows a complete disregard for Aberdeen fans considering the distance between Aberdeen and Glasgow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Good point. The journey from Aberdeen to Edinburgh would be a whole 8 minutes faster than the journey to Glasgow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
