fringo Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm sure that was in the very first programme, all the way back in 1986.... Were you in the studio watching laddie ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 To be fair, given the KO time, ticket price, and the fact you could watch it from the comfort of your own couch, minus the 2 hour round trip from your weegie suburb, I can completely understand the dons not travelling in numbers. Kidding aside, even if you're a 30 game a season fan, an away game, live on TV on a Sunday lunchtime is an easy one to miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_B81 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 600 away for most clubs in the top flight is a good support, for us it's poor which is an indicator of how many we actually take on average. The kick off time was obviously a big factor and the prices of over £20 (don't know exact entry fee at Kilmarnock) for a game that was on TV would've put people off when they add on travel costs. Main thing is the team got another good result, didn't get chance to see game but from what I heard we just about deserved it and Kilmarnock made it difficult. Second should be assured now, we're actually closer to Celtic than Inverness and the rest are to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Noticed on way out that there were quite a lot of families amongst the Aberdeen support. An adult and 3 kids for £20 is a very good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peever1745 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I think its time to bring back Bobby Clark.He may be a pensioner but he would do a better job than the 2 clowns we have in goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, sad but true. Brown's record looks good because of the defence in front of him, he's made a few blunders that would've got more attention had it been Langfield.

Brown is awful....another one of these Rab Douglas types who is actually smaller when he jumps. A complete liability with cross-balls/set-pieces, etc etc....all teams have to do are get corners and eventually he'll punch one into his own net or something equally pish. Singlehandedly cost us the League Cup semi-final, and if he hadn't f*cked up in the last minute of a game we dominated against Celtic at Pittodrie, we'd only be a point behind them now.

wembley67lisbon Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 They should have the Aberdeen Celtic game as first match after the split. Aberdeen somehow manage to win would ensure a relatively tense final few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenAngus Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hmm. 3525 at Rugby Park yesterday. 739 away fans. Surely the bigger story here is less than 2,800 home fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robroysboy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Great Ross County support tonight I thought St mirren had a good support all things considered. If only the team showed as much commitment as the loyal fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 OLAS was obviously on the wind-up given that the Jags only took about 200 a few miles across the city to sellick park midweek for the 2-0 game - given that stat the 600 sheep going to rugby park at midday was laudable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenAngus Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 It would be if 2800 was a surprise. I thought Killie's home support was a good bit higher than that - your comment obviously suggests not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) I thought Killie's home support was a good bit higher than that - your comment obviously suggests not.It is but we've been shite all season. 1215 on a Sunday live on TV. The whole MJ factor has killed a big percentage of our support. Depressing. 15 years ago we were averaging 11m for home games. Now its less than 4.5k. In fact a few years back we took something like 2600 to St Mirren for an away game. Now we only have something like 3000 season ticket holders. We're playing at Parkhead on Wednesday and I think it'll be our lowest crowd there ever. There's only me and my mate good from our bus.

Having supported them for 39 years and been to nearly every ground in Scotland I've never been there or Ibrox and can tell you I never will.

So much positivity, team on the up, new stadium, big crowds, winning a trophy, playing in Europe. It was a bit of a peak though, the average was below 10,000 when we won the league, and when I started going 4 figures was a good crowd. Having been through such a highpoint it's a pretty depressing state of affairs at the moment though. I see the Moffat Stand isn't going to be used next season now too. Not sure what can be done to rejuvenate things tbh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora MaDonald Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Used to love going to RP in the '90's. Portman pre-match was brilliant, Fannie's before the train after it, and always good craic with the Killie lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
