PIE IN THE SKY: Hot takeaway food on sale at Pittodrie has been attracting dive-bombing seagulls in the Richard Donald Stand.

THE seagulls have landed at Pittodrie ... and they are here to stay.

 

An invasion of the scavenging birds is making life hell for fans attending Aberdeen’s home games.

 

The club received complaints from supporters in the Richard Donald Stand at the SPL opener against Inverness Caley Thistle because seagulls were diving down at them during the game.

 

The bad news for fans attending Saturday’s showdown with Rangers is there is nothing the Dons can do about their seagull problem.

 

Aberdeen stadium manager John Morgan said: “Seagulls are a protected species so we have been told we will just have to grin and bear it.

 

“We have used hawks in the past to scare birds away, but we can’t do that while fans are in the stadium.

 

“It’s frustrating because the seagulls are becoming a nuisance.â€

 

Morgan blamed the quality of the Pittodrie pies for the increase in the numbers of seagulls invading the stadium on match days.

 

“The smell of hot food is what attracts them,†he said.

 

“They then swoop down on any food dropped by spectators.

 

“I suppose it could be seen as a compliment to the quality of our pies!â€

 

Fans going to the Rangers game are being urged to discard rubbish into the Rangers section of the South Stand to reduce the risk of being pestered by the seagulls.

The amount of food dropped by spectators certainly reflects the quality of our pies. They're shite.

 

There were NO pies at half time in the section Y pie stall at the ICT game.

 

AFC really fucked that up.

This is why...

Has the Caley merger gone through?

Chance would be a fucking fine thing.

We should hire an army of ducks to crush the seagulls.
