Dominique Malonga Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I checked out our last game at Easter Road before Hibs went down (0-2 Niall McGinn double) and there were 9K there. I think I remember that game...I’m sure my grandad has shown me a black and white cinema reel of that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be some cherished memories of the open top bus tour floating about.

tarapoa Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Sorry to have to be the one who tells you this, but a semi final of the European Cup is much more prestigious than the UEFA Milk Cup or whatever it is was that Aberdeen fluked their way to in about 1920-something. Our flukey Milk Cup had Real, Barca, Inter, Bayern and PSG in the QFs alongside us.You got in the European Cup when we won the title for some reason and lost to a French pub team, Stud de Rim or something or other.

glasgow-sheep Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Well I for one am looking forward to this game.

BucksburnDandy Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 We've been second for the past three seasons and we seem to get slated for it by other supporters. Now it seems this is a tangible thing to aim for - with the biggest away support outwith the gruesome twosome at Pittodrie in living memory. Are the home support up for this? I don't detect this wave of excitement that will lead to us selling out the home end. Second place, been there, done that....................nevertheless COYR I get the extra excitement from Hibs fans as it's a long time since they've been in this position....it's all new and thrilling. Slightly different for Dons fans as....as you said....we've been there, done that and frankly, it's not as exciting and wonderful as it's cracked up to be. Add a season of fairly average football and the fact that 2nd and 3rd place (and 4th if Celtic win the cup) all start off in the 1st qualifying round in Europe and it's not all that difficult to see why Aberdeen fans aren't tripping over themselves to buy tickets for Saturday. It's about time though that away supports actually started supporting their teams at Pittodrie, instead of bringing the normal 150 or so that can be arsed making their way north. Good money for the club as well. I don’t think there should be any excuses for this not being a sell out from a Dons perspective, Hibs have done their bit. Huge game for both clubs in the battle for second and refreshing to see no OF teams are involved. If you were a Dons fans I’m not sure why you wouldn’t want to go - it’s not on tv is it? I think the lads answer you Jamama. The novelty of it has long since worn off and truthfully while we want to finish there, there is little real excitement in it.I want to finish there nonetheless so that we get into Europe guaranteed and hopefully miss the first round. So, up the Dons.But I don't think the home fans will be out in huge numbers for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it’s a position to be fair embarrassed about come the end of the season, not being top of that crowd per head of population league competition. Not sure what the financial reward for winning that league is again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Years of baiting from Paulo about attendances has clearly got to the Dons lads on here. Don't worry chaps, I'm sure you'll fill that souless barn in the middle of nowhere when you eventually get round to building it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
