  1. We won't win it we're a million miles away from good enough. Your guys were superb, was a privilege to be on the same pitch as you. Hope a few people adjust their opinions about Scottish football after tonights performance from the Dons. Damn good contest, reminds me of when football used to be enjoyable before the EPL became a thing All the best
  2. Scoreline doesn't reflect the game. Your supporters should be proud
  3. I like Aberdeen. Playing football the proper way, and none of that chucking yourself on the floor and cheating nonsense that the EPL is riddled with
  4. Burnley are historically dangerous after 80+ minutes. Something to do with fitness levels and other such nonsense
  5. They probably are knackered but that's not the reason. Historically, before the all seater days, that was an entirely home stand. Then, up to a couple of years ago it was deemed an entirely away stand. However, home fans complained about this as due to the construction of the stand the accoustics are awesome and generate the best atmosphere. The home fans were concerned about giving this "advantage" to away fans so after some campaigning a small section of it was designated for the "noisy" home fans. The empty seats in the middle act purely as a no man's land to prevent over exuberant handshakes
  6. Fair play to you guys. Really showing us what hard graft and endeavour is all about
  7. I live in London now so I'm expecting the drink prices to be an absolute bargain
  8. How safe is it to wear club colours whilst travelling across the city? I tend not to bother these days when attending away matches after almost getting into grief whilst travelling across London. But having said that, it always feels dull turning up at a game incognito I'm as quiet as they come and won't be looking for trouble but as a lone traveller would I get picked off as ""low hanging fruit"?
  9. If anybody is looking to book hotels these would be my obvious recommendations 1) Premier Inn. Consistent quality, pub/restaurant and less than 15 minutes walk to ground 2) Alexander Hotel. Quality ok but a bit tired. Not too far from ground, maybe 15 minutes 3)Travel Lodge. Quality not nearly as good as Premier Inn but still ok. Other side of town to Premier Inn. 25 minutes walk approx 4) Holiday Inn Express. Good quality but a bit pricey. quite a walk from ground. Maybe 40 minutes. Bus/taxi would be better option If there's anything you need to know about Burnley then please ask. Some of your guys have been extremely helpful on our forum so happy to return the favour
  10. At Preston aim to get the Trans Pennine express to York, getting off at Burnley Manchester Road. The other train, destination Colne, is like something that predates Brief Encounter and the match will be over by the time you get there. 15 -20 minute walk from Manchester Road station, follow your nose straight down the hill.
  11. We're one of the few EPL clubs that doesn't normally charge upfront for tickets. I hope you do get the full 4200. That stand, although a little old and creaky, is the best one on the ground for creating atmosphere. Send your best singers down and it will be a hell of a game. I've got my hotel booked in Aberdeen already, really looking forward to this one. I was dreading drawing somewhere in some far flung country I've never heard of that was 6 hours drive from the nearest airport. Despite hearing that the train link from the airport is suspended I suspect that Aberdeen doesn't fall into this category Not sure how the game will go. We don't have any prima Donnas, just a bunch of hard grafters, as I imagine so do you Our recent record in cup games is far from good and we don't play well against teams similar to ourselves(hard working). Whatever happens I'm sure it will be an epic tie and I can't wait to get there to experience my first ever European game. Go easy on us, most of us are new to this kind of thing
