SanStarko Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Looks like there’s a Tesco about a 5 minute walk away from the ground. Guessing that might be the place to park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banks O Dee will never have had a crowd as big as this so no idea how the parking will work out. There's multi story car parking at train station and Union Square which is 20 min walk or so.

Specky Ginger Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Just looked on Google Earth. Looks like there is a Halfords and a Lidl nearby with parking. Not sure if there are any time restrictions or cameras to ensure customers only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Just posted this on the match thread. I live in Aberdeen and used to work very close to Spain Park. It’s on the edge of vast industrial estates which will be deserted on a Saturday, so plenty of on street parking in either East or West Tullos Industrial Estates and a short walk. Personally I wouldn’t park in the residential streets of Torry and don’t try Tesco, Lidl or Halfords etc. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like one group missed out. Christ, the luck you'd have to have. If that is indeed the case (and it looks like it is), I hope the club can find a space among the directors or something for the 1-5 people in that incredibly unlucky group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my son weren't successful in the Dunfermline and Arbroath ballots but never put into ballot for Banks o Dee game, could that be us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, it's been fresh numbers each time. It looks like the second group to get their name into the Banks o' Dee draw didn't get tickets but every other group did. Hopefully it was just an oversight on the page and supply narrowly outstripped demand and everyone's getting in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if there are any time restrictions or cameras to ensure customers only. Plenty of free parking in the streets off Wellington Rd, lots of the businesses are Mon-Fri and as such at weekend there's loads of space. I've often done courses at Craigshaw Business Ctr and you are struggling to park there during the week but I still managed free (un restricted) parking easy enough on the surrounding streets. Girdleness Rd or Greenwell Rd are a decent shout. Edited January 18, 2022 by Scottydog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 On far more important matters than parking, any pubs nearby or is it a city centre job and then onto the ground for kick-off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City centre. There's Aitchies Ale House which is is across from the station, which is my preferred option, but may be busy with Aberdeen fans and limited space with table service. Failing that, Market St and Union St are just up the road with plenty pubs. Probably 20 min walk to the ground or a fiver or so in a taxi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Reckon it's close to sold out. For the number of groups to have sold the allocation would need 2.6 tickets per group on average, which seems reasonable guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero pubs in the area, best to drink In the city centre, Guild Street, Market Street area - essentially the area immediately outside the front of the train station/Union Square or head up to Union Street. I wouldn’t walk, it’ll take a good bit longer than 20 minutes, especially after a few pints. Best to jump in a taxi (there’s a rank just off Market Street) or get the number 3 or number 20 bus - make sure it’s the correct direction (Cove or Balnagask). Get off at Halfords/Tesco or a wee bit further along at Lidl. Edited January 18, 2022 by Tattie36 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I think McGlynn referred to 4-2-3-1 as our best set up in the post match interview. I think we have to get back to that. Surely we won't go with the 3 centre halves up at Banks of Dee? I would play one of Gullan or Ross out wide instead of Zanatta but I'd bring Connolly back in. I picked up on this as well, which isn’t surprising, as the 3 at the back for me doesn’t work when Dick is feart of getting forward. For me, 4231 XI would be (in the current climate of injuries etc):JMac RT Lang Berra Mosunda Williamson StantonConnelly Ross Zanatta Gullan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go with… Macdonald Tumilty Lang Berra Dick Matthews Stanton Ross Gullan Zanatta Varian I don’t think Gullan is the type of player to play up top on his own, sitting as a 10 is prob his best position. Although I don’t rate Varian, in the absence of another striker, he’s probably the best we have for that role.

Broken Algorithms Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'd go 4-2-3-1: Lang and Berra at centre half, Matthews and Stanton lying deep, stick Ross and Connolly/Zanatta out wide with Gullan playing behind Varion. If Varion isn't available then give Poplatnik the game time. The most important thing is that we get the win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
