Aberdeen v Dundee United

[swaddon]

It's the final 3pm on a Saturday game for the Dons this season as the Pikey Jute Minks make their way up the road to feel the full force of the resurgent AFC. It takes place on Saturday 9th May.

Dundee United are playing for the "finishing above Aberdeen" trophy, yet another makey-up trophy to put with their "Fair Play" cup, the "We Beat Barcelona Once" shield and the various runner-up trophies that bear out their laughable "honours" list.

I fancy a 2-0 win for the home side, Milanovic to score both.

Kilmarnock currently giving Dundee United the runaround. As it stands (3-0), the goal difference between us and United is five goals, and we're six points behind, so a win and it's very much on to finish above them.

That, of course, is a very small prize. But it is worth about £80,000, which would give us Geiger for about two weeks next season...

I'd forgive a lot of this seasons ills, if we can send them back down the road to their caravans, with zero points.

I hate this lot and their very deluded fans with a passion.

It's their big game too and I know it won't be easy, but beating them is worth the price of a season ticket alone.

Do we have to invade a pitch or something if we finish above them?

Early train up, last train home for this one. COYR.

I'm actually considering going up for this. I've not been to the Stephen Robinson era yet (last game was the Dunfermline shambles).

Looked at the trains, and them being over £60 return - pushing £70 in some cases - is a shambles.

As an aside, amazing really that despite this season, the lack of general excitement around the managerial appointment, there being very few players you are particularly drawn to see, and having very little to play for, that we're heading towards another sell out (or close to it).

Only seven sections left, four of which are near enough sold out (two of the sections have only two seats left).

As someone who watches from afar, the fan support has been outstanding the last couple of seasons from what I see. Seeing sellouts at home and the numbers that travel, plus the reaction after games when we have won, when you hear a manager or player comment on the amazing support, it’s not just them saying that, it’s a definite thing.

def need rewarded with a winning team!

That’s the beauty of a Club50 railcard. £15 to buy and they do flat fare deals. Travel anywhere in Scotland for £19 return. They are doing one from tomorrow for next 6 weeks.

That’s a bloody good deal. So there are benefits to being 50 after all

They even did a special valentine themed deal for 3 months earlier in year where you could take a partner/loved one for £19 too. I was able to bring a fellow Globe Red up to Tannadice for a riveting 0-0 and they didn’t even have to be in their 50s

Quite possibly felt in their fifties after watching the shite on show that night,

Must have aged several years sitting through that

Fewer than 500 tickets* on sale when I bought there, although Aberdeen do this thing where they refuse to release the back four rows of the RDU until absolutely necessary, despite people like myself preferring to buy those tickets so I can stand. I will also never understand why there are seats in the lower deck that are £4 cheaper despite being significantly better than the upper deck.
 

Edit: *ignore me, just realised there's an entire section at the end of the RDU not actually opened yet. 
 

Anyway, strangely looking forward to it. I don't know what's wrong with me.
