We sold these because everyone assumed we would pump caley easily. Nae sure how that's different from anyone else - see Utd v Ross County; Hearts v Gretna. Think these things snowball after a while, I thought we'd take 30,000 to the ICT final and once we got to that number everyone wanted to go. Also, aside from the chance of winning, you are more likely to take your kids to an ICT final than Rangers or Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not quite true - The 8k debentures will almost entirely be blue, therefore the split is 33k v 19.5k They've listed every pathetic 'consideration' (Lie) in order to 'justify' their decision - Neutrality wasn't on it Huns = Home game, own end, more fans & hand reared officials (Mostly) Sheep / Anyone else Tims apart = STFU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, we had around 8/9k vs Celtic in January in the semi final. Would have obvs had more vs a team we'd expect a result against.

Wonder if the same principle would be accepted if they reached a european final against Barca or any other club with a much bigger stadium. Or even if they got a 45 / 55 split for cup finals against Celtic due to Celtics higher attendences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderark14 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Id have no problem if Aberdeen boycotted the final. In fact I'd be proud of the club. Sadly its going to need all the clubs or all the clubs except two to make changes to this mind set from the SFA and SPFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The governing body were done out of money. Even selling properly section by section as Alan Burrows did at Motherwell there is no guarantee there wouldn’t be some empty seats. As a result of the Hibby cunts costing everyone a fortune the governing body have decided to take control to maximise revenue. Its a shame for Aberdeen as one of probably two clubs who could justify a 50/50 split, but point the finger of blame where it belongs, down Leith Walk!

Did they ask for 50% and then not give them back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
