Just looking at Aberdeen League Points stats since 3 points was introduced in the Scottish game from the season 1994-1995 (Hopefully correct info below). 36 games a season 1994-1995 - 41 points 1995-1996 - 55 points 1996-1997 - 44 points 1997-1998 - 39 points 1998-1999 - 37 points 1999-2000 - 33 points 38 games a season 2000-2001 - 45 points 2001-2002 - 55 points 2002-2003 - 49 points 2003-2004 - 34 points 2004-2005 - 61 points 2005-2006 - 54 points 2006-2007 - 65 points 2007-2008 - 53 points 2008-2009 - 53 points 2009-2010 - 41 points 2010-2011 - 38 points 2011-2012 - 41 points 2012-2013 - 48 points Derek McInnes 2013-2014 - 68 points 2014-2015 - 75 points 2015-2016 - 71 points 2016-2017 - 76 points 2017-2018 - 65 points (4 games still to be played) The reason I've done this stats is to wonder why minority of Aberdeen fans want McInnes out when in the 24 years apart from 2 season from Jimmy Calderwood we have got nowhere near the points total that Derek McInnes teams have achieved? I suppose some arguments will be that for a few seasons it was a weaker league and many will be unhappy with our record against Rangers/Celtic in last few seasons. Some may also argue that the football this season hasn't been the level of the last 3 or 4 seasons. Others may also go on about only 1 trophy won since McInnes come in. I've got a feeling this could be Derek McInnes last season in charge of us but I feel he has done a fantastic job and don't think there is anyone out there that can do a better job at present

They have sold 1630 AberDNA so far

Falkirk Chief Executive released a statement yesterday which included this bit about us: Think Aberdeen contacted them as they have changed the statement to:

After the elbows incidents including the Scottish cup final he was going to be target for refs so it was best he moved on. Got to remember Zander Diamond was Player of the season at Exeter City level so I don’t look at that goals record too much as it is miles behind our level.

16 appearances and 8 goals is a great return- was impressed how he destroyed Rangers. Think the Motherwell manager worked with him previously

I hope the offer of a new contract to O’Connor will be taken off the table - not because of that comment (could care less what thick footballers think) but because the performances from him have not be the standard we require. No doubt a few more Aberdeen fans will turn on the manger but I’m still backing him. I believe a decent season is qualifying for Europe, anything else is unacceptable. If he does fail then I think he deserves another chance next season as the previous 4 have been good. Recruitment has been dreadful this season and he can’t get it wrong next season.

It may get worse for them as it may have been the case that they have been getting freedom of information using a pseudonym. Can understand using a pseudonym to media if they are getting online abuse but if they used it to get freedom of information then what has they thinking as that could get them into legal trouble.

Oh dear - here is the group comment on this https://www.nokingsfordstadium.org.uk/2018/04/11/we-are-all-angus/

So far Aberdeen fans have had 10 away games that have been midweek this season (including Friday game against Dundee) - 6 in the league and 3 in the cups. We have only had 2 at home midweek.

Aberdeen are threat to Rangers finishing 2nd so the weegie media go to work. Sportsound this time getting in a journalist from England to comment with McFadden putting his view in which makes headline news. Ironically they had the same journalist on in November discussing the same issue when they appointed Alan Pardew Would this happen if Brendan Rodgers is in the running for a job down south?

I did mention the last 3 years financial figures and I totally agree with your post above though

I think Aberdeen would have done this regardless of the ST sales - Hibs and Hearts are rasing over £500,000 a season doing this and I think Aberdeen is just copy them to keep financially ahead of them. I would disagree with the gross mismanagement going with the last 3 years financial figures - think we are a well run club now although that could be shattered with the next financial figures.

It is not a new idea to Scotland as Hearts and Hibs are already have this in place. Hearts have 8,000 odd that contribute to the club (because they was in trouble) and Hibs have 1700 according to AberDNA fact sheet: https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/aberdeen/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/29160829/29.3.18AberDNA-Final-FAQ.pdf I've paid for the Premium but I'm not impressed that the club has went to certain people to pick membership numbers before this was released. It doesn't matter if you are like me that doesn't miss a game or only go to 1 game a season - we are all Aberdeen fans at the end of the day.

Yaaaaaaaassss its AberDNA launch day - let the moaning begin

I think it is replacing Black and Gold membership from last season so think it is pitching at folk like me. I am hearing that certain supporters club/fans are getting to pick their membership numbers of this AberDNA - i do think this is wrong For those that are not season tickets I wonder if it is replacing the Stand Free membership which was a decent deal this season if so it is £10 to £144 : https://www.afc.co.uk/tickets/stand-free-membership/

If this info is correct which someone posted in twitter/afc-chat I'm a season ticket, black and gold and RedTV subscriber and if correct then I will be paying about £80 more than last season. Can't see much interest having to pay £144 or £216 on top of season ticket.

The Big Freeze https://www.afc.co.uk/2018/03/21/dons-announce-season-ticket-price-freeze/ Aberdeen Football Club have announced a freeze on the price of season tickets at Pittodrie for the 2018/19 season. A record number of Dons supporters signed-up for a season ticket for the current campaign and it is hoped that number will grow next season on the back of the price freeze. Season tickets for the 2018/19 season will be available for sale from early April and supporters will have the opportunity to take advantage of the price freeze in the early bird window which will run until the beginning of June. Season tickets for U12s will once again be available from just £3 per match and the newly created Youth (18-21) category will remain in place as the club aims to bridge the gap for supporters when it comes to attaining an Adult season ticket. Speaking about the move to keep ticket prices the same for next season, AFC’s newly appointed Commercial Director, Rob Wicks, said: “In the past few seasons the prices and categories have been tweaked to bring the club in line with our competitors and this season there was a great response with over 11,000 supporters signing up. A price freeze should allow us to retain as many of those supporters as possible while growing the season ticket base ahead of the move to the new stadium. “We want to remove barriers for people when it comes to attending football matches at Pittodrie and cost certainly plays a part in that for many. In addition to the price freeze, supporters will also have the opportunity to spread the cost over several months to soften the initial outlay that has traditionally been associated with season tickets.” Next week the club will announce details of an innovative new Membership initiative that has been designed to enable supporters around the world to engage with the football club. Supporters who sign-up to the new Membership initiative will receive a host of fantastic benefits including a discount on their season ticket for the 2018/19 season, as well as the opportunity to help shape the future of the club. “These are exciting times at AFC and the support Derek and the team receive from fans is tremendous. After discussions with key groups such as Dons Supporters Together and gathering the feedback from a recent survey, we think we now have a Membership proposition which will be truly compelling for supporters all around the world. “AFC has the ambition to become a UEFA Top 100 Club and to do that we need to increase revenue, be innovative and engage effectively with our supporters and I think that the upcoming launch of the AberDNA Membership is just the start of that process,” said Rob. Details regarding season tickets for the 2018/19 season and the brand-new Membership initiative will be announced via afc.co.uk and the AFC social media channels.

Phone the ticket office I'm sure they will be happy to help you. I'm sure last time there was pay at the gate for both cup and league game. Here is the Fred -

Here is a positive: some celtic fans in the home end (south stand), celebrated the goal and got kicked to f**k

I wouldn't go that far - they created some amazing flags but they also upset a lot of other supporters club. Killie/Inverness CT away game with their flags blocking the view of the game upset a lot of people. Celtic had the worst atmosphere at Parkhead against us as they only cheered once they scored from late 90s to about 2010ish, but then the green brigade got organised and took over a section of Parkhead. I don't go with this Aberdeen is a reserved bunch all it takes is a group similar to form

I missed the email and too late to book. The horrific atmosphere has always been like that but any chances of creating an atmosphere was hurt by the board. The red ultras in the early 2000's was a group that could have helped here but with the smoke bombs going off in the Shed at Dundee United then they was banned as a supporters club after 10 years. After that the same group try to organised a singing section and although the numbers was poor it was never going to take off once they put them in a corner of the Merkland end. The ironic thing is other clubs in Scotland copied the Red Ultras ideas. I hope the new stadium will have safe standing then people that can create an atmosphere in that area like what Celtic have done.

Can you block threads as well I feel like its like the film groundhog day but its about Aberdeen new stadium

TRANSFER WINDOW In Niall McGinn (Free) Michael Devlin (£75,000) Sam Cosgrove (£25,000) Chidi Nwakali (on loan) Freddie Woodman (on loan) Kenny McLean (on loan) Out Kenny McLean (£200,000) Craig Storie (released) Greg Tansey (on loan to Ross County) Frank Ross (on loan to Greenock Morton) Quite a busy transfer window for us which normally we only sign 1 or 2 players max but think it has been a great transfer window overall. Niall McGinn is looking really good especially the last two matches and looks so refreshed. I'm not sure about Devlin as I didn't see him stand out in the games I've watched but those in the game rave about him so hopefully will be a good signing. Don't get our fans questioning the amount of goals Cosgrove has scored - he has hardly be on the pitch and still a kid. - signed for the future but we lack a plan B upfront and he would provide that with his height (McInnes said he was going to sign next season but decided to take him in early). McInnes has been raving about Nwakali saying the Aberdeen fans will love him so looking forward to seeing him play. We have signed a world cup winner in Woodman - Can't remember much about about his spell at Killie but I think he will get the nod ahead of Rogers (adios Rogers in the summer if so). What a deal we got for Kenny McLean £200,000 and back on loan, so glad we have him till the end of the season as I think he will be a massive miss once gone. Craig Storie looked good a few years ago against Celtic so what a disappointment. Hopefully Tansey finds the form he had when we first come in from him and come back a better player. Frank Ross is one for the future and his loan deal he will become a better player having got the experience in the Championship. Up the dons

Can take in an emergency loan - I'm sure you can do that outwith a transfer window.
