What the latest on how many tickets have been sold?

[Kilkito]

I don't think this is the big one.

 

At some point we're going to have a setback, and it's entirely down to how we respond to that that will determine what kind of season we're in for. I see what you mean about momentum, but momentum will only last so long, whether it stops on Saturday or beyond.

 

For sure Bri, but a win and the momentum from it can the have a huge impact on how they do react when they have the inevitable set back.

 

I suppose we'll find out in time

[muttonhumper]

To my mind this is a big game, a huge game. Where it stands comparative to other big games we've had, who cares.

 

Of course it's only 3 points, and 3 points we normally wouldn't even expect to pick up.

 

But its what winning would do for everyone, from the team, to the fans. Win this, even if its a weakend Celtic team, the belief should be sky high going forward if we can beat Celtic we can beat anyone on the league. The players will know that they are a good side, and have confidence that they can and will win matches. Further to this the buzz that it would help create around the whole place would be fantastic. Last but not least, win this, with Pittodrie bouncing, and how many of the fans will enjoy the buzz and the atmosphere and be back for the St Johnstone game, how many would want to go down to Tynecastle and roar us on the following week.

Our fan base has been slipping away, due to the mind numbing dross served up in recent years, that can't be addressed over night, and will be very difficult to ever fully repair, but a win this weekend, and the momentum that could then give the team and the fans for the following weeks could really help to bring the fans back.

 

As others have said, if we lose, but play the right way and don't get the breaks, I'll be dissappointed, but its all you can ask of the team, if we put in the limp kind of display that we did in the same fixture last year, I'll be gutted.

 

100% spot on. +1

[zander]

A win in this one will give us a massive confidence boost for the rest of the season. Will certainly keep crowds high for a short while at least it's amazing what a few good signings, the right things said in the paper and a few good wins does for our support.

I was down at lunchtime picking up the black training top and they were saying the game is heading for a sell out.

[STANDfreeSCOTTY]

What the latest on how many tickets have been sold?

 

Main - SOLD OUT

RDS Lower - SOLD OUT

RDS Upper - LIMITED

SOUTH - ONLY SEATS IN Y

MERKLAND - LIMITED

 

We really need to get a good result. Aberdeen are pretty good at hyping a game, getting a big crowd and bottling it. I have faith though!

When we play weegie teams do you sing you are a weegie MT?

[Kilkito]

Aye, fingers crossed we can keep the feel good factor up.

 

You driving up early doors Saturday I take it?

 

 

Usually would be but I'm actually staying in the Holiday Inn out in Westhill on the Friday night, my parents come over from Lochaber, and I'm taking my brother and eldest son up, so we kind of make it a wee family meet up, and means we can have a lie in after a few Peronis

 

You and your "crew" getting the train? Is there many Tims on the train when you do that?

[SkyeDon]

8 games against Celtic?

 

If we can beat Celtic the belief should be there more to beat the rest.

 

Sorry, 4.

 

Looks like we'll have to agree to disagree. One game at a time anyway, and the fact we're heading for a packed Pittodrie is ace!

[boboisared]

6, bring in to account the two finals we'll beat them in.

That's only if they make the top 6 though.

[boboisared]

[Kilkito]

Haha aye, we never usually get the train due to the amount of Tims on it (usually drive or minibus) so it'll probably be a "dry train" all the way up, need to make some special cola on Friday night

 

 

Last time I got the train was that time you saw me with Stewart for the United game, getting the train back with lots of jutes on it when you've won was quite enjoyable, wouldn't fancy the train with a bunch of gloating tims, IF they somehow beat us!

 

I didn't know you had so many you sometimes needed a minibus!!!!!!!!

[reekie_dock]

This is the big game and anyone who says its not is aff there cuckoo clock. pump the unwashed on sat and everyone else is fodder. Imagine the buzz after whipping these fools????

[Huntlysheep]

 

well, no, why would i?

Poor show MT your an "Aberdeen fan" that's why! Aberdeen have a disgregard (sp) for all things weegie regardless of where your from.

[buchanskii]

Hopefully they are overlooking us and focusing on their far more important game in borat country.

 

CB's are vulnerable and this could be the game where zola becomes a cult hero - I'm nae holding my breath though.

 

Would keep the same team that started against Motherwell. I have no doubt that mcinnes will motivate the lads in front of a full crowd, something that I'd have no faith in any of the recent previous managers doing...

[tightbreeks]

they'll under-estimate us, guaranteed they'll be keeping out of trouble for the euro game.

 

the tims'll shit themselves when we beat 'em 2-0.

[Huntlysheep]

 

whys it in inverted commas?

You don't like Aberdonians yet support our team, you defend fellow weegies & huns I.e. Calderwood, Langfield etc. Makes me wonder that's all.

He does support Aberdeen...although the reason is probably more to do with "being different"...you have probably noticed he likes "being different"

Weegie Dons fans are lesser mortals than us North easterners.
