54_and_counting Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 And yes every team suffers this phenomenon of higher crowds when they're playing better and winning more games. The difference - and what diddies don't respect - is people who latch on to a club from a different part of the country purely because they are successful, high profile clubs who always finish the season winning far more games than they lose. what were aberdeen and dundee united average crowds in the early 80's then?

The_Kincardine Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Your cries of "hard times" ring very hollow to the majority of fans, some of whom have never seen their side win a major trophy, never mind multiple titles and cups. My auld dear's a life long Airdrie fan (though has only been to about 3 games) and one of my most enjoyable trips to a match ever was taking her to the 1995 SC final when Sellick broke their trophy famine. I got the early train up from Euston, we went to TGI's in Buchanan Street for lunch (chosen because of its white and red colours), my maw had a small glass of wine (she's almost TT) and we went back to The Central for a train to Mt Florida each holding about a half dozen red and white balloons. The Airdrie fans were great and the atmosphere at 'our' end of the ground was harmonious. An all round good experience. It was very different to when I'd been to the SC final 3 years earlier (with a mate) when we beat Airdrie 2-1. Then I'd have been in a funk had we been beaten.

Jacksgranda Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 what were aberdeen and dundee united average crowds in the early 80's then? Dundee United's were huge but Aberdeen's were huger. Forever in our shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 what were aberdeen and dundee united average crowds in the early 80's then? Average crowds? Overweight, stupid and ugly in the main with a propensity to wear Wrangler jackets and shite t-shirts. Anoraks were still pretty popular and a fair few wore balaclavas knitted by their maw/granny along with home-knitted scarves. There may well have been granny-knitted tammies. There is a reason why Aberdeen was a leading light of the 'casual' scene. A huge proportion of their fans looked liked fashion-bereft throwbacks so a few tried to break the mould, ken.

xNicola_Ghirl1888x Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 So the diddy argument is that even though the closest club to where I was born is Celtic, even though my family are all Celtic supporters & even though I'm fae an Irish Catholic heritage that I'd be seen as a better fan in their eyes if I supported someone like Forfar or Alloa??? Ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
