    We will be a defensive team at times, we definitely were last week, but I don't think you could say that today. There was only one team that contributed to that match in an attacking sense for the first 80 minutes and it certainly wasn't Hearts.

    Yep... 6 across the back screams attack minded....

    It’s not really my area of expertise to say what can be done to improve the situation, but the claim that everyone turned up 10 minutes before kick off is entirely false. I stood from 6:45 until around 7:20 with my mate as he was looking for a spare ticket. By that point there was already a massively backlogged queue.

    I don’t really have an issue with searches themselves, but doing it the way the road is set up at that narrow section as you turn towards the south stand is ridiculous. Move it further up Albion Road where it is wider and can accommodate more people waiting rather than funnel them into a choke point would be my suggestion.

    Perhaps if your support,and that of your green brethern, didn't duplicate tickets and/or squeeze through turnstiles 2 at a time the need for such checks wouldn't be required

    For any Hearts fans looking in let's provide some clarity. You made 3 million based on the back of record turnover purely on the basis that you received 4.5 of donations from benefactors. Without them you make a 1.5 million loss.

    We are reporting an accounting loss of 5 million which does not include the insurance money we received due to the pandemic. When you also consider the difference between 10th and 3rd place is roughly 2 million (and one would expect us not to finish 10th on a regular basis) we almost cover the 5 million gap. The accounts also don't include the sales of Ramsey and Ferguson which would see Aberdeen more than cover the 5 million gap and pay for this summer's investment in the squad. If we are ever in a loss making position Cormack has said him and his friends will cover them. 

    A sustainable business model is one where the club can stand on its own feet rather than rely on funds from benefactors. Aberdeen are running with the youngest squad in the league and have many more valuable assets which can be monetized at the right time.

    As for the stadium Hearts are land locked whilst we have an opportunity to build a state of the art stadium which will generate far more revenue than Hearts will at Tynecastle. Commercial and corporate facilities alone will be double what we have today. As for the funding lots to be decided but selling name rights, investment from benefactors etc...are already being worked on.

    In summary we are in a good place.

    I will agree with you that booking is laughable. For me to be booked it has to be intentional. Mind you, as we found out today, even if you bring a man down in the box to give away a penalty you don't always get booked.

    We found that out a couple of weeks ago when Jenz was already on a yellow and pulled down Devlin
