wee-toon-red Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Good to see the glory hunters coming out in relative force and that the boycott was only a one-off for the semi final and them missing thousands from the semi aren't "pissed off at the SPFL/SFA" any more...

It was the amusing attempts to dress up the semi final attendance as some kind of "protest" that provoked the comment really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being fed up with and making a stand against the SPFL/SFA was the excuse some Dons fans gave for not going to the semi final, when the truth was they expected us to get humped by Rangers. As it turned out, the attendance was in line with the usual numbers we get for semi finals but because the club had stuck their neck out and asked for a decent portion of the tickets, which the fans didn't back them up on by actually buying them, some supporters decided to pretend they were boycotting in protest at any or all of the kick off time, the venue, not being offered the best seats in the house etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some didn't go because they expected a humping and who could blame them considering MCinnes record v the OF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if they feel that strongly about it they'd boycott that too? As Wee Toon Red alluded to, they thought they'd get pumped so gave it a swerve. I was well chuffed for the 10,000 or so that bothered to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotland Ever More Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Celtic's were released today, queue the usual moaning from Brendan's blow ins on twitter every time a high demand game away from CP comes up. "Away games are a closed shop" "I can't join the home cup scheme cos I work midweek" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee toon red is entitled to his opinion but not everyone who opted not to go to the final did so because they thought Aberdeen would get humped.

You're farting against thunder VA14 - Some of our own think sub 10,000 is in keeping with what we normally take to SF's too , and it's really not (c.40% less) People simply chose not to fund cheating and spent their money elsewhere - Nothing wrong in that - That's personal choice, not boycotting I wouldn't underestimate the feelings towards our spineless board either - Head in sand stuff as the club is being publicly shafted senseless sums them up 20,000 tickets shifted in less than 3 days (I appreciate it's the final) v 9,700 in over 3 weeks is no coincidence in my view Are you heading up for the final?

Scotland Ever More Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Picked our CSC's tickets up today and the kids tickets have £12 misprinted on them when they're actually £15. Would imagine Aberdeen are the same. Quite fitting after the mess they made with the semi final venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
