RussellAnderson Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 its not exactly going to be a Tynecastle semi-final v StJohnstone, but I would bite your hand off to be one of the 300. Unfortunately Im not even a ST holder, let alone the fact that I live well south of Lawrencekirk. Much like I was so excited to see the game v hearts at Murrayfield a few weeks back, its exciting to watch your team in a new setting. Nae singing, nae standing, nae shouting - the draw will pull out 300 Main Stand dandies isnt it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely can't think of much less appealing realistic options to watch a game of football though. I’ve been to many Brechin and Montrose matches that have around 300 fans in the ground. It’s actually ok. You should try it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know yourself there's a massive difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Hopefully @Vancouver_Don can have a word with his mate on the board to get the P&B Dandies their rightful places as part of #The300. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do almost anything to get in to a Dons game even if I was the only spectator there, whereas you’re not going back until there’s enough people around you to keep you cosy. Fair enough, we’ll agree to disagree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they opened it up to everyone and only 300 turned up and it was cold I wouldn't be fussed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget about our differences, the main thing that we both want is three points and a decent performance on Saturday regardless of who is or isn’t there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Name in the hat. I'd love to go but would settle for any one of the three up coming games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betting competition Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Interesting debate with some not wanting to go to 300 or 750 test events. It doesn't sound great not being able to do things we normally do but for me it will still be better than watching it on TV. 13 hours ago, kingjoey said: I’ve stood behind the goal at the open end of Recreation Park in Alloa on a February afternoon, in incessant rain for over two hours, and had to remove my jeans to be able to drive home. Memories that and the joys of the Scottish Cup game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sitting in Pittodrie in a balmy 16 degrees in September is not going to bother me in the slightest. Would still be one of the top 3 most exciting things to have ever happened in Alloa! Badoom-tish! Yours, I'm here all week, try the veal. aDONis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O_Kahn Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Following the press conference today, seems like there's a more than fair chance that Saturday's trial games won't go ahead. An announcement tomorrow Giving the go-ahead on Tuesday, then suggesting less than 24 hours later that it won't go ahead sounds a bit amateurish to me.

Think she just implied that Saturday going ahead doesn't mean we're on a linear upward curve to fans back into stadiums as before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
