You're subbing the wages of charlatans. I'm not sure why the club seem unable to get the marketing right around dna. Saying dna money paid for Wilson was a big pr failure. All they have to say is that dna helped us be able to pay a fee for the likes of Ferguson or McCrorie. Or allowed us to extend the contracts of some of the younger players. People would be completely on board with that message. Dna should be about bringing in or retaining young talent. Not for spending on loans or journeymen. I know it's all from the same wage bill at the end of the day but it should be an easy job to get positive pr from. 1 Link to comment

And stops fans spouting shite about it & being unnecessarily negative about it. Sign up for it or don’t, that’s choice, just don’t criticise folk for trying to help the club. Link to comment

I just don't get the criticism! I think it's just a grippit Aberdonian thing. Fair enough if you don't want to contribute yourself for whatever reason - but surely every fan should be grateful for another really significant revenue stream? The Edinburgh clubs both have similar schemes and I doubt large sections of the support hammer the club about it! Having said that, as was mentioned above, agree with the comment about Wilson. That was a PR own-goal from the club - I remember it well and I folk ended up using it as a stick to bash DNA! Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Only thing I have against the (potential) risk of AberDNA is if the club use it to sneak the actual clubs contributions to the playing budget down & use the funds in AberDNA as a substitute. Nothing to suggest this has or will happen but certainly would have expected such under the previous chairman that’s for sure. If it’s used as 100% ADDED bonus to the playing budget & as such improves us then there’s fk all wrong with that. Some bitter fkrs will always complain if they think members are getting wee benefits from it, even if the benefits are minimal. Folk that pretend they have FIVE memberships are proper ‘members’ though, from tip to hinge end Link to comment

thurso Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I’m not sure why people put aberdna down I always thought it was more aimed at people like me who want to put money into the club but can’t justify a season ticket, as we live to far away or have other responsibilities. If people who have season tickets also want to take it out all the better Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 This guy must be absolutely dreadful in training when you consider some of the shite McInnes has played. Many of which people have only justified them being played as they must be doing something special in training. Link to comment
