dandydunn Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Good on them. Ridiculous travelling time for a Sunday morning. Doubt it'll make any difference whatsoever. This is Aberdeens last away game today with a 3pm ko until April 1st. http://www.afc.co.uk/mobile/news/8932.php Edited December 17, 2016 by dandydunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 They can't really swap the games unless they are on the same channel. That's the slot. Price of success and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Aberdeen FC quite happily signed up to a TV deal that pisses all over the dwindling number of fans that want to actually go to Scottish football games. They've got a hard neck turning round and blaming the TV companies for scheduling our games at shit o'clock on a Sunday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also turned down the chance to review the voting rights which could possibly have helped massively in the way that the tv deal is struck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debian Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) So they've complained about something they admit in the end is not possible. They had chance when Rangers weren't around to change all this, but saw short term £££ signs. Hope they get all that way, and Killie call it off ?

The clubs need to actually grow some balls if they aren't happy with this. Seems like lip service to me though - and I mean all the clubs, they are great at voicing their displeasure but shite when it comes to doing anything about it.

dandydunn Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I suppose you are all right. I see it as a piss take to my team,but it's not really. Its shitting in everyone from a great height season in,season out. I just see it from our point of view. No point complaining though,it won't change a thing.

kumnio Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I was in agreement with Aberdeen until I read a passage of their statement, they sound like minihuns. "The considerable Aberdeen away support, which is an important source of revenue to many clubs, find themselves in a position where train services on that date from Aberdeen will not enable supporters to get to Kilmarnock on time and the likely impact on the attendance will be considerable," said the club in a statement.

It's a fact though. We'll often take 10 x what other clubs will take to us and it helps everyone out. Its not seeing everyone else as a charity case,it's just the way it is.

Aberdeen haven't taken much more than 1000 to RP in about a decade. I doubt it'll impact the crowd that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
