iainmac1 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Does anybody still care about this Diddy Cup? Aberdeen stopped caring about winning the big cup a generation* ago. A real generation. Not a referendum generation. Two different types of generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Not seen anyone being paranoid but surely their game should have been set for the Saturday instead? They could play a reserve side in the cup and win comfortably. Teams in England play two games in 3 days every over Christmas. Just another reason for the paranoid masses to get all excited.

Cove_Sheep Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I remember going to a Hearts v ICT game at tyncastle when Scotland were playing at murryfield they same day. I was at uni in Glasgow and remember the big queue for the train to Edinburgh. I think Hearts are regularly at home when there is egg chasing on.

hannibal smith Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Is it the normal price being charged? It is possible one wanted to reduce but not the other. Yeah turns out it is the category A price being charged which is usually for the Aberdeen or Celtic games, not some lower league team.

ironbrew Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 For cup matches I suppose both clubs have a say in pricing but home team will have more say since they`ll usually have more fans and certainly know more about match expenses. In case of Hearts v Hibs high prices are sadly to be expected since away stand won`t meet Hibs`demand and Hearts have to try to pay expenses (they announced publicly last year that they were relying on voluntary payments to pay bills so suppose it`s the same this year or worse since wages will be higher). For all clubs both cup competitions are I suppose considered as bonuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
