Honest Bob the Claret

We werent disgraced and really hope you lot go on and win it

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

Scoreline doesn't reflect the game. Your supporters should be proud

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

Burnley are historically dangerous after 80+ minutes. Something to do with fitness levels and other such nonsense

Hey Bob. Why is that section of seating in the centre of the away section never occupied?

Are those seats knackered?

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 

Fair play to you guys. Really showing us what hard graft and endeavour is all about

Confirmed we're getting 2400 tickets apparently

That's the normal amount these days I'm afraid

 

You will find the drink prices a tad more than in Burnley though!

I live in London now so I'm expecting the drink prices to be an absolute bargain

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"?

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

That's me booked on the train to Burnley, changing at Edinburgh & Preston, just have to hope i get a brief now 

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.

We might get full stand (around 4000+) if AFC commit to paying for them up front as APPARENTLY the interest in Burnley is fairly much about the away game. Here's hoping Jute 

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
