Any Aberdeen fan who wants a decent seat in the north stand instead of behind the goals needs to wait until they get the extra ticket allocation. Only they won’t get the extra tickets because people aren’t buying the shite seats. So enough people will need to buy the shite seats to ensure they can get an allocation for the decent seats. But then they’ll have already bought their ticket. For a shite seat. Perfectly logical. If you are an idiot. Now I see why the SPFL went with this idea. They’ve actually stated that when they get the north stand tickets, they’ll relocate people out of the south and give them north ones instead. It’s a recipe for an absolute disaster that afc will get all the blame for from the fans when it all goes wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty CTA Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 START by making 20,000 tickets available to us so that the first buyers can get their choice of the best seats. (It's not difficult.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy your half, the people will be allocated these tickets. You do understand the rationale behind this, yeah? If you buy/allocated North stand tickets first and don't sell out your half then they cannot reallocate tickets to Rangers. Your comps/etc are in the south stand, therefore you cannot leave a gap. You are going to sell your half anyway, so it'll all be fine! Edited October 7, 2018 by Debian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweestevie Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The choice of where to sit would be nice, I just have to hope I get one in the ballot and sit wherever I'm told. Going by my allocation over the last 15 years or so I've only had the north stand once and that was against Celtic last season for the Scottish cup semi. Funnily enough I wouldn't have minded a seat with a shit view for that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"This season’s League Cup is important to four teams for different reasons. Aberdeen last won this trophy in season 2013/2014 and were runner-up to Celtic in 2016/17. Having won this trophy on six occasions they are second only to Celtic with 17 wins in the League Cup pecking order. Hearts have won this trophy on four occasions. Last and most certainly least is the new club playing at Ibrox who have never won this trophy. However if one has a glance at the SPFL site one will find that this new club, formed in 2012, has been gifted 27 trophies by an amazing act of munificence by Neil Doncaster."

theweestevie Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 This all goes to show that Hampden is not fit for purpose. On a 50-50 split you get 5 sections in the north stand with decent views, 16 sections behind the goal with shite view, 4(?) Sections in the south stand lower with an ok view, and 6(?) Sections in South stand lower with an ok view, but miles away. So of the 31 sections people only really want to sit in 5 of them, will make do with a few more and don't really want to sit in the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty CTA Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Aberdeen NOW have a fair kick-off time. Why do they now have to fight for a fair ticket allocation? This is the first ever historical meeting of The Famous and Sevco in a Cup. Sevco will of course have home city advantage (again) but they'll be without Velcro-Heid and Laffs. Who seriously doesn't believe we'll take 20,000? What Dandy wouldn't want to be there? Edited October 7, 2018 by Scotty CTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just want to think of them as the old club when it suits you, and then talk about them as a new club when that suits your agenda. You are no better than Rangers who like to do the same. For consistency you should decide inside your own head whether you think they are old or new. If you think they are old then they have 27 League Cups. If you think they are new then you should have no reason to hate them so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I was referring to the fans. The fans of Newco are the same fans as those of Oldco. Different club, same fans. Once again those same FANS won't have to travel.

sbcmfc Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I do get Aberdeen fans point, but say hypothetically they get half the North stand and only end up selling 18,000 tickets (which would be a good effort). Theres then 7000 empty seats scattered across 3 stands. Aberdeen should have 50% of the available tickets if they need them, but if they don’t need them they can be given to Rangers. Thats the way it’s worked for Motherwell, and except a problem with giving Celtic fans the south upper, has been handled pretty fairly by all concerned.

sbcmfc Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The only fairer way would be for Aberdeen fans to commit to buy the tickets and then AFC allocate those tickets when numbers are confirmed, (which is effectively what the OF do) but I don’t know if they have a ticketing operation that could handle that in the timeframe?

Np one has an issue with Aberdeen getting half (I Think they should) but if they can't sell them they need to leave blocks available to sell on. It's likely too simplistic for those special lads up north though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Aberdeen won’t bring 25k They should sell seats in blocks, starting with the ones in the north, if they don’t sell them out, then rangers can start having seats from their allocation in the south and work round to the east. Segregation wont be an issue, as there needs to be a cut off somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
