Fair dos The megaphones will be mostly used to help co-ordinate displays at the front upper RDS and then try and boost and keep songs going. They are used a lot on the continent. When they were used at the Dunfermline game last year it did keep everything going. A lot of folk like the drums, others don't- it's trying to get a balance and use different things to keep the noise going. Visually improving the support is easier than making Pittodrie louder. Trial and error.

THANKS TO THE RED ARMY As you all know, we have had problems recently with the club and police regarding our displays. At times, it looked as if we wouldn’t be able to do very much at Pittodrie this season at all. However, because of a flood of e-mails, posts, letters and calls to AFC and the EE from all of you the club and police have modified many of their original decisions. Surfing flags will now be allowed in most cases, and card displays are back on the agenda in at least part of the RDS. Thanks very much for helping us try to keep Pittodrie vibrant and colourful. Even better, the club are allowing us to use more streamer displays, which they were previously very reluctant to do. They have also, after years of refusing, allowed us to use both drums and megaphones to up the noise levels. These will be employed on Saturday. If we all work together on this The Red Army can make Pittodrie louder, more intimidating for visitors and more entertaining. We are sick of the media and others moaning about the home fans not getting behind the team. Aberdeen have got the most vocal and passionate away support in Scotland so we should be able to reproduce some of that in our own ground. This Sunday sees the first visit from one of the OF. There’s an excellent display planned in the RDS, so please look out for the various notices etc and support this. Also, let’s raise the roof at Pittodrie and roar the team on. Thanks again for making this possible. If you want to help in any way, or have any questions or ideas for improving the atmosphere at Pittodrie you can contact us on redultras@gmail.com. See you at the game. Stand Free The Red Ultras
