tom_widdows Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 I fancy the Arabs backed by 10000+ to turn them over royally Meanwhile ex rangers players are saying the goal shouldn't have stood. So far it is only Sally and Chick Young saying it was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_widdows Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Cool, lets hope they get the seating right, put the st johnstone fans in the main stand only, then the rest of the stadium over to Aberdeen fans ! Main stand holds almost 21000 fans. Most I'd say they will get is the Govan stand that holds about 11000 but will probably end up with one of the goal end stands (7500 not including the infilled corner bits) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 With the kick off time would be surprised if the crowd for this matches that of league cup semi final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie The Don Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The less people that go, the less money to the Sevco Do Sevco get a cut of the tickets? I would have thought it would be a flat fee for renting the stadium, with ticket money split between the (four) semi-finalists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_widdows Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 First train from Aberdeen arrives in Glasgow at 12.15! Well at least one train load can fight their way into Buchanan street subway for the 12-15min journey. 5 megabuses on offer too. (although one does leave at 440am) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 In the other SF, Utd were offered 11k tickets and after complaining have been told 13.1k is the maximum............ Corrupt to the core! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizer Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 @SFA_Supporters @RichardGordon48 Allocation based on previous semi final attendances and allocation was agreed by both clubs at the Pre Operations meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Well Albion's previous semi final attendance was 32000 and 37000 (Replay) totals at Celtic Park Given they played the old rangers you do wonder what allocation they had back in 1920 I presume the SFA will take that into account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Aren't they required to offer 50% for the Scottish Cup? I'd have thought so. Pretty shoddy all in really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I hope Utd really fight this. Fans of other clubs as well as their own would back them. I know I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Well lets see how it all develops. Chick Young's thoughts at half time We are not watching Barcelona yet, but we are looking at a much-improved Rangers, who have had more chances than they did in the first game at Ibrox. Least when he finally retires he can have a career in the sex industry because apparently he no longer has a gag reflex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Sportsound tonight was slightly interesting. Had the Arabs chairman on and I believe he said he felt safer in with his own supporters than he would do in the directors area at Ibrox. Apparently he was getting threatened last time he went there in the cup. They then got ex SfA prick George Peat on the phone (believe this is the same twat who cut Ross County's and Dundee's training funding for breaching an SFA rule on disclosures that wasnt required under scottish law) He was against the choice of venue but adamant that tickets should be shared out based on past semi final appearances as it wasn't fair that 40000 odd rangers/ celtic season ticket holders should miss out because the smaller teams might suddenly find an extra 5000-10000 fans who will only come along for the big occasion. One of those moments I found myself cursing at the radio and wishing the sportsound team to ask him if he thought the semi final attendances for the teams outside the OF might be if they played them outside Glasgow with 3pm KO times? Also to task what Aberdeen's allocation might be should we beat St Johnstone next month infront of 25000-30000 dons fans? Could we expect a 50-50 split with the Arabs or blue meanies? Or would it be that with either miss out to Sally's hordes or can bully United to a lower allocation? Would appear the pressure is on Aberdeen & St Johnstone to sell as many tickets as they can as each empty seat will count against them come the end of May. Fucking despair sometimes.

tom_widdows Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 subject to agreement between the clubs 'Can the arabs have more seats Sally?' 'No!' 'Sorry guys we tried' I presume that they are also taking rangers last semi final attendance into consideration. approx 22000 sold from a 33000 allocation for a lunchtime kick off on their own doorstep.
