Aberdeen Reduce Stadium Capacity

“Fifth best supported team in Scotland”

Lordy, I near pi5hed myself at that.

Like saying you were 8th best at conkers in P4.

Desperados.
 
If the red scum had any sence they would give both us and the scum the Richard Donald stand when we go up to that shithole nearly 7000 at 33 quid a head 4 times a season plus the atmosphere they want will be there
 
A better atmosphere when there's huge empty spaces in the ground, really? Good luck with that dolly.
 
You have to wonder what planet these people are on

They want to improve the atmosphere by reducing their already poor capacity - coupled with their inability to fill that existing capacity - while refusing to actually issue enough tickets to away fans to fulfill that capacity - while building a stadium in excess of their existing capacity

I mean how can you take any of this seriously ?

A joke club, with joke supporters - who deserve to stew in their own obscurity
 
They are wanting to reduce capacity for sheep supporters
Could this mean they will decant the ones in the beech end to other currently sparse parts of the ground to accommodate more away fans?
Just thinking outside the sheep pen in how they would benefit in the long run

Aberdeen will reduce the "operational capacity" of Pittodrie to 15,500 next season in a bid to improve the atmosphere on match-days.

The club aim to increase sales of season tickets from 10,000 to 11,000 and club membership initiative AberDNA to 8,000 in its second campaign.

Chairman Dave Cormack pledges the income produced will be "100% directed to the success of the football team".

"Football success is our number one priority," he said.

"We are the fifth-best supported team in Scotland in terms of season tickets and attendances. Season tickets deliver around £2m a year in income, with walk‐ups and away fans contributing £1m, and AberDNA about £1m. In total, that's almost half the football budget.

"We are challenging ourselves to increase season tickets from 10,000 to 11,000 for 2020-21 and drive AberDNA membership to 8,000. My promise is that this income is 100% directed towards the success of the football team."

Aberdeen sit fourth in the Scottish Premiership after Saturday's win over Hibernian, and face Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-finals next month.

In the new campaign, the upper section of the Richard Donald Stand will close, while the unallocated seating in the Merkland Stand - known as the Red Shed - will continue after successful trials this term.

While this will reduce Pittodrie's capacity by around 6,500, the club hope it will improve the match-day experience.

Aberdeen have also offered approximately 45,000 pupils from roughly 200 primary schools across the region the chance to become a club member for free, entitling them to two free match tickets for next season.

"This is about nurturing the next generation of fans, inspiring and getting back the lost generation of younger fans and retaining our existing fans through exciting football and a better match‐day experience," Cormack added.

"Our fans are the heart of our club. Through season tickets and AberDNA they invest in the club. We want them to feel even more affinity to the club by making everyone a member."

AberDNA ?? What ?
 
Scottish football at its best. Reducing capacity. Rather than sell seats o fans that want to watch football leave them empty.

How that makes business sense is beyond me.

AberDNA! o_O

They're doing the right thing with the schools though. Every diddy club should be doing similar. Your football allegiance is fully cemented during your school years.
 
That's some spin. Cost cutting the humungous maintenance costs of their crumbling safety hazard, due to lack of crowds to cover the expense = maximising atmosphere hahahaha even the dollies aren't that dim.
 
Small club with small club mentality. Contented with raising their game to play us and failing at every other turn.

15k fans? Aye right, only when we are filling our allocation
 
Play your `home` games at Balmoor;and when we come to town,you can move back to Shitoddrie and give us three sides........ f*cking losers,.perennial losers.

The problem is they have dug down to what they thought would be solid ground for the foundations but they will have to dig deeper.
McIntosh used that land as a dump when they were building the industrial estate so their fucked
One of the reasons Cormark took over from Wiggy
He is trying to "be down with the kids" by giving his blessing to a casuals 40th anniversary to be held at Shittodrie
 
Just where do you start with this? The mentality is there for all to see but they are to bitter to see it.
By pandering to the rangers haters they are willing to cut there own throat financially resulting in an ever increasing downward spiral for a pathetic club run for fannies by fannies
Just give us the whole stand and take the blue pound if you want to improve the atmosphere you sad twats.
 
Aberdeen’s slide into obscurity continues .

the same club that removed a massive picture from inside the stadium of them beating Real Madrid to win a European trophy and replaced it with them beating us in the league cup semi final .

small time club
