Just checked -2013
11 years ago. Aberdeen had 40,000+ down in Glasgow around then.
I'd say since them Hearrs have very noticeably grown their regular support whilst Aberdeen/Hibs regular support has dropped off a bit. Particularly Hibs.

Bye bye Greens

I really doubt that
Didn't sell their allocation for a LCSF in their own city at ER
That was many years ago, Hearts regular matchday going support has grown massively since then.
They are comfortably the biggest supported team in Scotland now IMO, certainly at home.

Good luck with Essen. A group of us stayed there for the 2-1 game and it was a bit pish.
haha, it's just a base. Got day trips planned most non match days.

Sport should have nothing to do with politics.
Well that's just nonsense.
Plenty examples of sport being used in a positive way in politics. During apartheid etc.

Didn't take it as one
We actually took a dismal 5/6000 v Hibs to a Sunday, 6pm KO, semi final, previously (Another Fuk U vote of sorts to the authorities) - There will be similar / poorer examples from other clubs, I just can't be bothered looking
My hypothetical point in this case was if any of the other clubs (Out with Cel / Ran) had to go to Aberdeen for a semi, even as a one off, that I doubt any would take more than the pish poor 9000 that we took on Saturday - However, and excluding all of my other points completely, using that example would be a far better barometer IMHO
I think Hearts would. They are the only other club comparable in size.

Info & links here: https://www.uefa.com/euro2024/app/
On the app it says tickets will be sent out end of May, which is good for getting swaps done.
Cheers

Would certainly reduce the chance of not having things thrown at you from above, another alleged no no that seemed perfectly acceptable to do on Saturday.
Yeah was same when we played them.

Sell from the north-south, at least it looks decent enough on tv for the viewers and both teams get the best stand/view to start off with. We clearly know the segregation issues mentioned for the LC final are a blatant lie, it’s about time these cunts were pulled up on it.
Would Aberdeen accept not having any South Stand tickets?

We did not ask for 50% of the tickets this time, we asked for it to start at 50%, surely even you can see there's a difference
There is but if they hypothetically gave you 50% to start, where do you start selling them? You can't sell the north and south at the same time or else you'd end up with 15,000 empty seats behind the goals.

I'll repeat for the avoidance of any doubt.........
'There's a number of contributory factors:
- A chairman / board that lies to it's fan base (The main one)
- Awful football
- Cost (In general given location, 4 expensive European away games, and 2 trips to Hampden already) - KO time / Live on council tv (Hypothetical, of course, but I doubt any other clubs out with Celtic / Rangers would take the numbers we take to Glasgow if the semi finals / finals were played in Aberdeen under identical circumstances)
- No appetite to watch us take our 'routine' scudding off Celtic in Glasgow without much / any resistance
- A growing desire of not being prepared to fund a rigged event any longer (A topic in it's own right, granted)'
Probably all fair points. I'll add another in, Aberdeen have a very substantial minority of their support from the central belt.
I could name half a dozen folk i know from Saltcoats/Ardrossan/Stevenston alone who go to more away games watching Aberdeen than they do at Pittodrie.
I've never known a Hearts or Hibs fan from the same area. I'm pretty sure that's replicated across much of the central belt as when i was at Uni there were two Dons fans in my class and 1 was from Strathaven and one was from Clydebank!
There can't be a semi final at a weekend in the last 40 years where the crowd has been as low. Not a dig, just an observation as we had similar numbers vs Celtic at Hampden in the league cup last year. Admittedly a lot closer but off a lot smaller fan base.

Thought as much, cheers mate.

I was surprised by how poor the Aberdeen attendance was tbf. Especially compared to Hearts.

Is that confirmed?
Last years was 530 to avoid the FA Cup final.
Same thing will happen this year as no chance Sky will want a clash.
-
There was a Euro 2020 specific app where our tickets were added to.
Is there going to be similar for this summer?

Rainbow Greens petitioning their leaders to end Bute House agreement. The fact that they want to do this on the basis of pausing puberty blockers rather than on the abandonment of some key net zero targets (which you'd think was a priority for environmentalists) says a lot about the priorities of some in the Green party.
If the SNP get rid of the Green oddballs due to this then again it's some good news.

That's him quit.
At least some good has come from this.

They've had a year to come up with evidence so much have a pile of it.
No wonder the SNP is fucked with clowns like him in charge.

Tartanarmy retirement has worked for me 🤣🤣🤣 many happy memories but fk me alot of regrets , now I'm happily married just making the occasional thistle game , Poland was my last game at hampden for the dark blue 9-10 years ago
Fuck me there's a blast from the past!
Why did you sack off Scotland games, just fed up?
Don't think i could ever give up Scptland or Killie games. I will probably cut down on aways at some point as i rarely miss a Killie game and do maybe 3 or 4 Scotland trips a year but don't think i could go cold turkey!

if only they were as strict on bigotry etc

Ralston hasn't started any league games this season and hasn't played first team football since February.
He might be ahead of Johnston in the pecking order, but on a very shoogly peg between now and the end of the season.
I'm not sure why you are making stuff up but he 100% played 90 mins vs Killie at Parkhead in Feb, i know, as i was there.
Just looked it up and he started the previous week at Easter Road too.
He's not featured in the last 5 games (unused sub) but he featured in 4 out the 5 before that (starting in two of them and playing 30 mins in each of the other two)
Ralston and Johnston have had very similar minutes on the park this season - my point was that Ralston has proven in the past he can do a job for Scotland without massive amounts of game time.
