As Kari would say "Get it to big Consi at the back stick"

What odds for a Ramsay set-piece to Considine for the opener?

[eddiec]

I see this morning that Glasgow city council have told the cheeks that they can have full stadiums next week be interesting to see what our council have to say on the crowd limit 

Like to hope that it will be free reign given that the social distancing thing has gone

Its all a game!

No need for it to be 20k for next Thurs as season tickets not valid. 15k would do. We should ask for that (it would look good) then full hoose v Ross County end o the month (when 9k ST get in for "free")

XSeason tickets were free then?

[TheRock]

Surely we could sell out a European game when (almost) no one has been to a game for 18 months? We don't always sell out European games, of course, but we sold out Burnley, for instance, and I'm not sure if that was a 'glamour' tie. Having said that, I don't remember what kind of support they brought but it was probably more than most of our European opponents bring so that probably helped.

 

Or am I overestimating how big a draw being able to go the football again will be?

Burnley was our first game of the season. This would be our 5th.

Burnley had a full allocation of away support and it attracted more interest.

15k would be ok for a week on Thursday (our usual early European crowd) and full houses after that when ST are valid.

The main stand will still be fully closed. If we were to get 14-15k in the rest of Pittodrie that would be something.

Why is the main stand closed?

There will also be people who aren't comfortable going back to full or fairly full stadiums. According to news reports, despite 'freedom day' down south, a lot of people are still taking a very cautious approach.

I presume similar to the last round (and in place for every qualifying round), the Main Stand is designated a supporter free zone so all the officials and teams are distanced from us plebs.

UEFA safe area protocol?  Was closed to fans for Hacken match.

[King Street Loon]

So a Uefa thing then.

Did wonder why there were fans in for the United game.

They should just go to the bingo instead.

Premier Sport for a month bought, lets get a good result.  Nice to be looking forward to games again.

 

Keep their Danish striker quiet, and should be a good chance.

I think the interest for next thursday could depend on the result tomorrow. Presuming the game is in the balance I think we'd give it a good go to sell out three sides of the stadium.

Anyone know whether the game is on RedTV International tomorrow?

Don't see why. Capacity will be about 15, 000.

You'd like to think we can go there and win tonight. Are this mob going to be any better than Stavanger? Doubtful. 

Although we've struggled away from home a few times, against that Georgian mob, and Fola Esch. 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

But that’s the 8 times failure of DMs legacy.  I’d argue there was an element of under preparedness in more than a few.  And then there was our propensity to manage out games, even when 1-0 down!

Should we have gone through 8 times?  Of course not.  Once wasn’t a huge ask though, just required a shift in attitude that pervaded the entire club at that time.

I'm also thinking we should be winning tonight. I'm hoping 2-0 or 2-1 Dons.

Totally different game to our second leg against Hacken.

[RED_JOHN]

Over confidence causes over complacency….this will be a much harder game than we probably expect. We will be doing well to come away with any victory tonight.

One was a huge task. Remember we have yet to qualify for the PO round in the last 10 years where the quality of opposition would have expected to take another step up.

‘we have a chance to take a step towards that PO round tonight and then we will see where it takes us
