Blaze Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Making the trip up this weekend, more in hope than anything else. Last time I was there was the League Cup penalty shoot out win in 2013. We've got to hump somebody at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Aberdeen are finding their mojo and have to be favourites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10menwent2mow Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Wednesday was just about as comfortable a win as we will get all season. Livi were abject. Be interesting to see how St Mirren approach the game. They should really come and have a go but after going a goal up on Weds, we looked quite dangerous on the break, so Saints may choose to sit in and hit us on the break. Should be a decent game and actually quite looking forward to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scotia. On a serious note, basically every city centre bar is 'no football colours' so as long as you're not acting like arseholes you should be fine. I'd just avoid the ones closer to Pittodrie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is "no football colours" still a thing? I agree that every pub is Buddie-friendly or at least Buddie-tolerant. For reasonable food and simultaneous Live Red Hot Barclays Action you'd be looking at maybe the Stag or McGinty's I reckon. Both a bit further away but still only a 20-odd minute walk to the away end. The Illicit Still shutting down is a pain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wild Boar is decent enough food. Same with ma Cameron's. Both in Belmont Street area. Or Old Blackfriars in the Castlegate. There's always Brewdog for burgers btu it depends if you like their beer and have taken out a 2nd mortgage to pay for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your food more than you enjoy the game, buddies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Maybe no away colours is a thing but none of the pubs I go to seem to bother. This is obviously going to be a lot harder than the Livi game. First goal is going to be crucial. We play far better when we're in front and the confidence is rising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see any pub in Aberdeen refusing to serve someone for wearing an Aberdeen or St Mirren scarf/top tomorrow. It's fairly common to see away fans (with the obvious exceptions!) with scarfs and that in the "home" pubs close to Pittodrie and the pubs in town.

Dons_1988 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 The ‘no football colours’ is old fashioned but I always thought it applied more away from the ground is more aimed at folk going out for a session to watch a televised game I.e a *** going out to a city centre pub decked out in full rangers gear to watch them play. Pre match pints around the ground are fairly low risk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 We actually have a non-awful recent record against Aberdeen. We don't really play on the counter - we are typically decent for the back two thirds of the pitch in terms of possession etc. So a close game I reckon; 2-1 Dons if they manage to keep their heads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is ( was ) a golf club at the beach end next to the stadium who welcomed Saints fans . Don's fans there also never any trouble. Places to eat accross the road a great fish supper there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
