My grandfather bought a season ticket after returning from WW I He held that ticket for 63 consecutive seasons. He was able to watch the ECWC Final (compos mentis) in the nursing home. He passed 5 weeks later in his 90th year. Wow! Great to hear that story. Apart from the ending, obviously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Fair play to the Utd fans for bringing 1700 fans yesterday. Can't remember the last time an away support outside the OF brought those types of numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly more recently too - I can't remember what the Hibs and Hearts supports were like earlier this season.

Remember a 0-0 draw with Hibs in 2018 where they virtually sold out the away end at Pittodrie, big Joe saved a penalty, I think from McLaren Edited February 27, 2022 by starryfish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 3 hours ago, Don exotic said: I also think Ramirez needs be asked to chase less lost causes early in the game. He runs out of legs later in the match when there is more space. That's the way Goodwin likes to have his strikers play though. Defending from the front and hassling defenders. Part of the reason why he let Obika go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All games against Rangers and Celtic was on a Saturday in 2001/2002 season, crowd figures was just under 19k so not sure. Rangers was the first game of the season with a 3pm kick-off so that is a possibility. The other games was a 5.30pm kick-offs with away allocation of 4000 Edited February 27, 2022 by betting competition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friendly v Man Utd on 12 July 2008 seems to be the most recent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I didn't go to that so it didn't appear on my listing, I was at a gig (Brian Jonestown Massacre) in Leeds the Friday night before. Those noughties elite Guffball friendlies (Manchester United and Liverpool) sold out pretty quickly as armchair fans flocked to see their south of the border idols. Therefore, it doesn't really count as thousands wouldn't have been attending to see the Dons, although technically you're correct. Did Manchester United and Liverpool take up significant travelling supports for those games? I didn't go to either....Didn't a Liverpool based fan end up in court for firing an air gun or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory Liverpool pretty much sold out the away end with the one section as it is now, I don't recall there being Man Utd fans in that section for the 2008 friendly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
