manc_don Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Flights booked up for this one. Apparently 5,000 tickets have been sold already. I think this one will be a sell out. Kari's homecoming tied with that performance last night, can't see a reason why not! Edit: 6,000 sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Phone was permanently engaged today for glory hunters like myself.Just headingout the door,hope its not sold out when I get back in a few days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 well based on the online ticket page there are less than 5000 tickets left (excluding the traditional away section). Some ex Sevco player saying the dons are underdogs. Personally I prefer that to being favourites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA-Don Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Watched the highlights of the Apollon 3-0 home game on youtube. Tough to tell what they're like as the defending from Zaria was woeful, giving far to much time and space. They certainly won't get that luxury from us.

donsdaft Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 That's my ticket arrived. I see they've opened up the whole South Stand to Dons fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeBass Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Money is pending in bank account but how do I know for sure the club has actually booked my seat?? Did it online for first time ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlg1903 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Having found a little bit more about Apollon I am not feeling quite so confident as I was when I heard the next team was Cypriot. They not only made the group stages last season but got out of them too which included a win over Bilbao. Put out in the last 32 by Anderlecht. This game is no gimme.

SeeBass Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 TLG, There are no easy games in Europe nowadays I will enjoy proceedings for what they are worth. A nice evening out if nothing else. They didn't make Group Stages last year. Grasshoppers of Zurich knocked them out in 3rd Round Qualifying for Europa League. You were looking at APOEL Nicosia not Apollon Limassol.

tom_widdows Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Ah so it was, mis-read the article on the beeb. Its never a given when its Aberdeen FC playing however yon Cypriots european record from the McInnes Era of the dons is as follows Played 26 Won 9 Drawn 5 Lost 12 Goals for 34 Goals against 39 They have qualified for the group stages twice (Cyprus must have been well ahead of Scotland as they went in at the Playoff stage each time) but finished 3rd and 4th. Only managed to win 2 and draw 1 of their 12 group games and were the whipping boys when they finished 4th - Scored 4 Conceded 18. When the finished 3rd they scored 5 and conceded 10.

SeeBass Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I just think we need to be a bit more streetwise when this level of opposition come calling. The lads have enough experience now over last three years that personally yours truly does believe said big performance during both legs should be around corner.

Nips_and_Tatties Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 No idea how or why this came into my head this morning but it did for about 10 minutes. Panathanaikos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 No idea how or why this came into my head this morning but it did for about 10 minutes. Panathanaikos Recall watching that game on the BBC with my Dad. Much like Athletico Madrid a few weeks later they were a level (or 2) above the Dons. Also seem to recall it looking really unpleasant to be in the stadium both with the temperature and the antics of the home support. Hope after a decade things are different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not currently on TV but it wouldn't surprise me if they did something similar to two weeks back when they decided last min to show on RedTV.

SeeBass Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I've never had to do online before but haven't even got through to being on hold where phone is concerned and didn't want to miss out with sales being strong. Live four hours from Aberdeen so isn't as if I can just queue up outside stadium either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
