It's still our home fixture, tinpot as f**k if we just start giving as many seats as teams will take. Even if it makes economic sense in the short term? OK it does play to your fans if you limit the away fans when you can sell those tickets to home fans but you're not going to sell out 67,000 so as well making a bit of coin when you can.

anotherchance Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I guess the police might want to limit it, especially if the *** are playing there in a few weeks.I don't actually think it'll be that great. Atmosphere wise a half empty rugby stadium full of daytrippers won't compare to a near full Tynecastle with a reasonably small pocket of our most vocal supporters.Novelty factor is high though.

A new stand to pay for, and a chance to get other folk to pay hundreds of thousands towards it?! Its 2 or 3 games, could easily get 4000 Aberdeen fans and 8000 rangers fans * paying £25 each. That's £300,000. Milk them for all you can, it's not as if it's going to be a regular thing. Spoiler * + 1000 St Johnstone fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler * + 1000 St Johnstone fans I'd rather go bust with a half finished stand, than have Rangers fans "pay" for it and have those orcs slaver about the "blue pound" everytime you ventured near on of their nests.

scottmcleanscontacts Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Could actually see Aberdeen taking loads.....not quite as many as Celtic to Seville but still a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I hope we give Rangers a slightly smaller allocation than Aberdeen just for shits and giggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmcleanscontacts Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 All joking aside, Aberdeen do have the potential for a massive away support, if not all the time.Could easy see them take 6 or 7k to Murrayfield with Novelty Value etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling your soul to the orcs should never be considered a good thing despite the money. Some things are worth more... I don't think we'd take more than the full Roseburn anyway to be honest. I agree as can't see us getting over 3,500 for this game. If we get defeated on Saturday knock that by 500 as the part times will go back to grim reaper mode!

Think you are being slightly ambitiousReckon 3-4 thousand if we get that many tickets with all the away trips we have coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I don't think it'll be a huge crowd. I'm planning on going but honestly not looking forward to it, half empty murrayfield doesn't appeal at all. Don't think the novelty factor is that high.

RussellAnderson Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Novelty value is high for me. I've never been to Murrayfield, and as I don't plan on watching the rugger anytime soon, this is a good opportunity to see the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been to a league away match since opening game of last season. I'll be at Murrayfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
