Both clubs are putting things in place in the eventuality that they win on Sunday. It’s quite clearly different Youd have to be naive to think every club doesn’t make provisional plans for if you win. You can’t just phone up the council on Monday morning and ask them to shut down the city centre. There will be t shirts made for players etc, sponsors want involved etc. But as soon you start publicly selling tickets for an event and taking money off punters then clearly you’ve taken it a step further. I’d be raging if Aberdeen were selling tickets for such an event this week. It would be ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow City Council don't allow Rangers or Celtic to have open top bus parades generally, so Rangers are making their own arrangements. The fact that your issue with it is that they've charged money for it (which I would imagine will be refunded in the event that we don't win) just seems petty tbh. It's one club making arrangements one way and another club doing it another way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one club making arrangements one way and another club doing it another way. It’s not an issue that’s particularly irked me, what irks me more is trying to draw equivalence. There’s nothing wrong with planning an event in advance and preparing for scenarios. In aberdeens case, it is just a necessity to put plans in place for an open top bus tour. What would be wrong would be if the club started announcing date, time etc of said parade. It’s really not that big a deal, but the old firm self defence method of drawing equivalence on any criticism is tiresome. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the story being peddled by the Scottish media will be that Rangers/Celtic (delete as appropriate) have lost the cup/double dream dead/treble toppled etc etc. Not that another team have won the cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one club making arrangements one way and another club doing it another way. Open top bus parades are completely normal things for clubs with fans who can be trusted. These need to be arranged in advance. These arrangements have not been published in advance by AFC. Advertising tickets for a photo with the cup before it’s even been won is completely different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 If this goes to penalties I’ll probably just have to leave the stadium there and then. It will simply be too much for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a bus prepared is simply planning for an event that Aberdeen don’t know whether it will happen. World of difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 The last time I can remember one of their players being derided this much was Sebo, right up until he scored a winner against us. With that in mind, I think Lammers is a real talent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
