It would need to be a delicate balancing act, as there's still a risk that the majority of fans would switch to PPV permanently, and you'd end up with so few fans at games it wouldn't be worth opening the stadium. Guess we wouldn't know until it happened though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, we have a lot of central belt fans who may effectively never be back at Pittodrie for your run of the mill league game if PPV is the norm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Someone at the club has forgotten to tell Ryan Edmondson not to do interviews with the Weegie press. Daily Record are rubbing their hands with a “Celtic and Rangers? Who are they? We’re going to batter the f*ck out of them and win all four trophies this season, no problem” type quote from the naive young guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they might do a season ticket plus TV option. I can’t always get to games due to work commitments. I’m enjoying the chance to see the games I would otherwise have missed. My son is too young to have made some of the evening games if these were at the ground, but without travel time can watch most of the matches at home. These are often bigger matches to work for TV scheduling as well. Clearly I would like to get back to live games to cheer on the team, but I would value this option if it was available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AFCDannyFTH Posted October 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2020 From Richard Gordon’s ‘Tales From The Dugout’: “Referee Kenny Clark, when he was fourth official as the Dons were being routed by Motherwell, “Ebbe turns to me and says, ‘I want to make a substitution’. I remind him I need the numbers of the players going on and coming off so that I can input them into my electronic board. He returns with the sheet, but it’s only got the number of the player he wants to put on. I tell him I need to know who he wants subbed off, and he replies, ‘You pick. They’re all pish’.” 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 RIP Ebbe. The biggest compliment I can pay him is that anyone else with his record with us would not have the popularity he does with the Dons support. A properly likeable character. Sad news. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illgresi Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Just had a wee look back to remind me of the players we had during Ebbe's tenure. There's a few gems dotted about, but generally what a frightening amount of pish. No wonder he didn't have the best record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
