Given the current landscape in Scottish football our club will be nothing without you, our loyal fans. This will be a historic season in our game and your support will be paramount.

 

The time is now for you to back this great club to help us make this season one to be remembered for reasons on the pitch.

 

Many of our supporters have already pledged their support to the club by sticking to their word and purchasing a season ticket. Many based overseas have asked how they can play their part to demonstrate their support for the club. And others have simply asked to make donations to their beloved club.

 

Red Army, you are the twelfth man! How can you show your support right now?

 

 

 

·Purchase a season ticket

 

The ultimate gesture of support, why not guarantee your seat for the season and buy a season ticket.

 

The importance of attracting and retaining young supporters is reflected in Aberdeen Football Club's season ticket details for the forthcoming campaign with any adult who purchases a brief for any part of the stadium being able to claim an under 12 season ticket for FREE.

 

In addition, season ticket holders can, for a small extra cost, upgrade to 'Black and Gold' membership to take advantage of benefits including a free home or away shirt, free subscription to RedTV, two ticket offers allowing you to bring a buddy to Pittodrie for two selected fixtures and exclusive offers throughout the season.

Still won't commit to purchasing a season ticket quiet yet. Although I can promise that I will buy a ticket for the County game.

 

Can anyone remind me how much extra the black and gold thing costs?

Phoned the club to get them to send out season ticket information this morning.

I think it's £66 extra.

 

I'll be getting one with the black and gold add-on next payday.

It's definitely worth it considering I'd have got a top and RedTV anyway.

RedTV International ordered.

I'm trying to get on the AFC site, seems like a lot of other folk are doing the same. It's down

My work hasn't blocked anything so i'm not sure why it's not working anymore

 

RedTV International ordered.

 

Was thinking of getting this but wondered what was going to happen about the tv deal. It seems they only show games that are on Sky/ESPN or Alba

Well, lets see if RedTV International will work this season!

Only way I can see of getting goals/highlghts

you always got goals and Highlights through redtv but needed international for live games.

Weird

Make sure you put the 'www.' bit at the start. If you don't it doesn't work.

 

If you wanna know why, ask GD.

 

Bought my Season Tickets today!

 

Woooo.

 

Didn't go gold though as both the new strips look shite.

 

I'll probably end up buying them though, and in turn give the clulb that extra bit of cash - 'cause i'm just a slightly better fan than most all of you.

Last season I got told my account didn't exist, and as we were so pish I didn't bother fixing it!

I wonder if when Rangers fans try and renew Rangers tv they get a message saying your team does not exist?

Twas available just long enough to get my first redtv subscription payment for about 4 years

 

Nice of them

This has to be one of the most positive threads in years.

 

C'mon now Craig and Stewartie, gie us a defence!

Fairly certain it's Gav Rae's bairns modelling the kids kits. The boys the spit of him, nice touch.

I'm trying to get on the AFC site, seems like a lot of other folk are doing the same. It's down

 

Same for me. Since last month its not working for me. I wanted to order RedTV international... it sucks

Duncan Fraser makes a rallying call:

(FULL THING HERE: http://www.afc.co.uk/page/TV/InterviewsDetail/0,,10284~2851217,00.html)

 

"There has been months of media speculation as what was going to happen. We made our position clear, we stood by that and now we know the outcome we have to move on. Throughout all the speculation I have said it is about what happens at our club. It is about supporting AFC and not worrying about what is happening at other clubs.

 

"There have been various campaigns orchestrated during the summer by supporters to get behind the club and now is the time for people to step up to the plate. What has taken me back is the number of donations we have received from supporters, many living abroad. What we have done with that is to work with local charities so we can allow families to come to games that would not otherwise be able to.

 

"The challenge though facing us is massive. People have asked if the SPL could live without Rangers. It is now the time to prove the League is about more than one club or two.

 

"Buying season tickets is the best way for supporters to back the club. It allows us to plan ahead. It means fans have bought into the club for what will be a challenging season but a season with real potential for Aberdeen.

 

"The U12 free season ticket initiative has been a great success. The number of U12 season ticket holders we have will probably treble if not quadruple by the time the season starts and that is what our campaign this year is aimed at. Furthermore what we wanted to do with the Black and Gold season tickets was to offer fans a loyalty aspect that would give them real value. It is has been a huge success. Both initiates have been well received and the marketing round them has been really good.

 

"Now is the time though to really ratchet it up and we will be doing that. We have two or three weeks before the start of the season and we really need everyone to get behind Aberdeen Football Club.

 

"There are lots of other ways that supporters can get right behind the club and we have outlined them.

 

"At lot of the fans are talking about making the Ross County game a sell out which is great but we need more than one sell out. We need a consistently increased crowd level. It is also makes a hell of a difference for the players on the park.

 

"The manager, the coaching staff and the players are well aware of what is expected of them this season. Out of adversity brings opportunities. Other clubs have had to let players go and with the hard work that has gone on at Pittodrie over the past couple of years there is no reason why we can't motor ahead and be right up there at the top end of the SPL next season. That is the ambition of the manager, the players and everyone associated with the club and it is the expectations of the fans. It is now essential we start to deliver that product."

Duncan Fraser makes a rallying call:

It is now essential we start to deliver that product.

 

That bit is particularly true, given the past few seasons of below par performances.

 

Still, glad to hear that the fans seem to be repaying the club for their stance over the close season 

 

Well versed statement which I have no issue with, but the key is the last paragraph. Supporters can back the club to the hilt, but everyone from the bottom up needs to start delivering or the goodwill factor will soon evaporate into thin air.

 

Lets do it and make us all enjoy the success that will come with it
