Just got the DNA renewal letter in. Fucked it clean off. Zero ambition shown by the club so far. My cash better spent elsewhere.

Hope you telt them why.  Mine got cancelled yesterday

Yep, same here. Not funding a Celtic development scheme

[aberdeen1970]

The DNA scheme needs to be revisited imo.  Especially now we are bringing in millions in transfer fees. 

If it was 50% of your cash directly to the youth set up and 50% for fan share purchases then I'd be interested. 

Otherwise they can just have my season ticket money and that's their lot.

If you don’t like it then don’t participate in the  program. Regardless of whether we are being in millions from signing players the extra DNA money helps us.

So I'm not allowed to suggest restructuring it just because I don't currently participate in it?

That would be like me saying you can't comment on a new stadium as, being a Canadian, you'll be unlikely to set foot in it.

A fan share system is far better than a donation, that way supporters get a return on investment.

Cheers and thanks. 

Red Shed is sold out

Aye, but sadly it’s only about 60% capacity.

Whether that’s down to the council or that fucking wet wipe Paul Hendry, I don’t know.

Big swathes of seats in the rows immediately behind the goals covered in advertising tarpaulins last season

It’s cause it’s unallocated seating, I would think it’s health & safety you need to be pointing the finger at.

Regardless, it’s a fucking nonsense when you compare it to stadia around Scotland, England & Europe.

51% be good - that way the fans rep could tell Goodwin to get fucked when he suggests getting a shot of a player from his boyhood hero's

Aberdeen Council decision.  Type of nonsense to be expected from them

We need to elect a Hat Fan Rep for the job

 

I propose MT, but we'd need to have the meetings at Forfar services before he turns back to go down the road again

Yup. Season ticket bought early doors but DNA binned after the Montgomery debacle.

Haha I'm in

Though can it be done remotely?

[Broken_Glass]

Anyone know or heard what our season ticket sales are like now? 

Hopefully shift a couple of thousand more now we have a few signings in and hopefully a "feel good factor" on the go.

Can’t imagine there’s enough folk interested to generate a few thousand sales?

I renewed before kit fiasco, 25th year on the bounce easily be the last. If the fans can’t even wear replica kits whilst on the terraces on curtain raiser day, what fucking hope so we have. Disgruntled.

At least we have a new strip. Fulham handed their new one back to Adidas as it was the wrong colours......

I get this and agree with it. I’ll go a little step further. (I’ve renewed my STs for what it’s worth)

Whilst i can see it’s all very exciting to some to finally see us sign a number of players this week (the shit show of the mentally ill in the rumours thread attests to this) , I’m not at all moved to the point of thinking things are yet better. The standard of player brought in to date is questionable at least insofar that few of us know anything about them yet. Benefit of doubt must and will be given but so far it is a numbers exercise and absolutely no more.

The PR person’s comments about positivity reeks of spin, it smells of “this is what you’re getting and you will like it”. It’s out of touch with reality. There is nothing exciting yet. We need creativity, flair, and guys to get the fans excited. If they want bums on seats at Pittodrie we need a statement of intent, something bold, balls out.

So far we just look like a Jim Goodwin team. This is as much a test for his personal evolution as a coach as it is for the resurgence of our team. I’ve seen him make tactical and selection mistakes that Glass made earlier in season and I also am not convinced he understands the club. He couldn’t get a new manager bounce and now he’s got rid of the players he couldn’t get a tune out of, it is all on his head now.

A marquee signing would be perfect but a statement of intent will do. Let’s see it.

Tremendous summary. Happy clappers won’t like it though!

Good post.

We have a huge rebuild job on our hands and we need several more signings to get the squad where it needs to be for the start of the season.

I genuinely can't tell if your being serious about this or just sarcastic.

Who the fuck really cares if they've got a new strip to wear to the first game of the season?

Yeah. We still need a left sided CH (core squad not Scales/loan)

We also need at least one creative mid (same as above/core) possibly even 2 so one that can play wing also.

We also need another decent striker as a fk load of faith has been lost on Ramirez. 
 

so I see it as needing 3 (very good/possibly even marquee) core squad additions still needed to give us a fighting chance & other luxury/bonus loans for top up latterly in window. Plus of course we have potential youth promotions like Duncan.

 

squad was utterly shite last season (& that is no exaggeration) we’ve binned a bakers dozen & brought in 5 core & 1 loan 

Still a lot of work to do & even more so if Ferguson goes because (regardless of split opinions) he was one of the 3-4 ‘dependable’ players last season & Ramsay has already gone.

 

Worries me that JG seems to see Kennedy as some kind of ‘new player’ that eases the load on the job that was required this window.
