This is not an Aberdeen answer. This is something the SFA, SPL & SFL have to sort out with the government, police etc. But considering our friendly mr Doncastor didnt even know how the germans handled their winter shutdowns and cup competitions I seriously doubt he has any clue as to how their licensing and modern terrace policing are handled. Does anyone have details of the new style of terracing that Hamburg. Dortmund and co installed during their revamps? (the type that can be converted to seating for european and international matches). i dont think its something you can just install on an existing stand. Terracing is permitted for scottish cup and League cup matches so come new stadium time perhaps we can install it at one end. The only problem this would bring is come cup day this terrace would be full and the rest of the ground looking rather empty.

Were they not supposed to keep the upper tier of the RDS shut except for bigger matches? Do that and suddenly theres between 1-3100 extra fans in the south, merkland, main or RDL. Also move the family section to the main stand therby giving each goal end to the nutters. More noise can be made from the merkland than the uncovered section Y. But the best way and by that I mean the only way to get an atmosphere at pittodrie is to station snipers in random positions around the ground who will shoot anyone they spot not singing shouting, gesturing, basiclaly doing anything for longer than say 5mins. No incentive on the park so ya need incentive off it.

I have to ask you why would it in milnes interest to be subtly obstructive? Potentially the worst decision he ever made in his business life was investing in Aberdeen football club and you honestly believe he is not looking for a way out that wont see him lynched for the man whose leaving caused the liquidation of AFC? There was a boy on yourcall who said the only reason he wasnt leaving was because he wanted the land pittodrie is on. Seemingly this was 'common knowledge' in the aberdeen area. To me that is common knowledge of the complete fuckwit who thinks all Aberdeens problems will be solved by some guy just throwing money into the club. No successful UK businessman is going to touch a scottish premier club so its either eastern europe, the yanks or some local twat who wins the euromillions Perhaps im in the minority but the last thing I want is some 'lotto millionaire' who has spent their entire life sat behind a desk or driving an HGV deciding they want to be chairmen of the club. I also dont fancy the prospect of a romanov or Glazer family turning up to toss us around like a toy that can be discarded at will. So what is the answer? Well I dont know but instead of everyone here just bitching about how milne has to go why not get down to the AFC supporters trust and say 'right boys im here to help you find our saviour. What can I do?' Start actively looking for the man or woman who will take milnes shares and also have the actual sense to run a business instead of 'lets sign him for £15k a week, and him and him and him and well win the champions league in 4years blach fucking blah. Tell ya what, get down to David murray and see if he knows someone who is willing to just give away £100million of their company cash to stop the bank shutting down the club and at the same time kill their own business. Once you've got someone, set up a meeting down at pittodrie with your clear business plan and set us free from this apparent ogre. Even rangers cant find some old hun millionaire to buy them out of the shit they are in. Yanks are doing their best to shaft liverpool and Man united (only Villas guy seems to have any sense) West Ham are now onto their 3rd owner in the last 10 years but are financially fucked Man city and chelsea will just vanish should abramovich and the arabs decide 'im not playing anymore' Ashley coudnt find anyone to buy newcastle so is their equivalent of milne Portsmouth anyone? far as Im aware the only 'big' club in the UK that isnt one fuck up from disaster is Arsenal but ill be insterested to see what would happen to them if Emirates Airlines suddenly went bust.

For some reason the majority were all massed to the left hand side. I dont know if it was assigned seats or they just all wanted to avoid being seen on TV

Did 9000 people in the south side of portlethen turn up every second saturday to criticise the grouting?

Is running a building firm the same as running a football club? If yer brickies and joiners cant be arsed each week you can sack them and dont have to pay off their contracts in full (why the fuck is that allowed in football and nowhere else???). Plus ive never heard of a construction firm losing their development for fuck all in the summer You also dont have 9000 people turning up on yer building site every second saturday criticising your grouting. Beggars the question, should be a university degree in football business studies?

The only way you will get an investor in football is to find someone who has no financial ties whatsoever. If someone can convince Milne to sell his company for what it is supposedly valued at (£200million or so, is it not since the recession?) then perhaps he would be tempted to do a jack walker or what Eddie Thompson did after hed sold morning noon & night to scotmid. Hes been laying off staff and his company's workload has dropped significantly. If he dares invest any company money in the club he will be crucified by the directors, press, unions, investors, staff and ill bet the taxman will want a word too. And im sure Mrs Milne and co will have something to say should he start throwing serious chunks of the family money into the bottomless pit of SPL football. Get him retired, super rich and bored and you may have this dream chairmen everyone expects him to be. Guy infront of me who got into the little argument threw Ian wood's name into the hat but seemed dismissive when I said he wouldnt be stupid enough to throw his money away and is allegedly not interested in football at all. Far as I see hes far more interested in throwing £50million into filling in union terrace gardens

There was a brief bout of 'sack the board' today Then a little argument began between 2 charming gents infront to us kicked off The usual question of 'aye milne fucks off, are you gonna replace him??? 'aye i will' 'you got 5million then?' 'Aye a do...hes a cunt and should fuck off' 'shut the fuck up' 'aye whatever'

Nelson seems to be stuck in the 1950s when it was basically suicide for a keeper to catch a ball.

in comparison to last season Played 25 - 37 points +3 Goal difference: 5th place - 4 points off 3rd, 18 points and 22goals off relegation

Dare I say its a ready made excuse if the plan backfires 'Well we were forced to play Nelson because jamies throat wasnt up to shouting random instructions to....well to whoever he shouts instructions to' Had he been able to play we might have got a draw etc etc

We went on a run from Mid December to Mid February in which we only took 2 points out of a possible 24. At the end of this run hibs were 7 points ahead with a game in hand. They then pretty much collapsed and when we won at easter road on the 2nd last saturday of the season we were 3points and 5 goals behind them. Rangers scrapped a 1-0 at Easter road and we only managed 2-0 at home to hearts (who were actually time wasting the whole game and our strike force was Derek Adams, Darren mackie and Lubomir Blaha) so missed out. The irritating thing is had we scored ONE more goal in any game during that terrible dec-feb run we would have taken 3rd.

In/Oot - 60-40 in favour of in. Pre-match: Train then Behind the Wall with the cunt above Post-match: Train then the flat Prediction: 0-2 (and lots of in-fighting within the crowd between the 4 factions - Jimmys, Mcghees, those who didnt want either of them in the first place ,and those who dont care)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IN/OUT: Out Pre-match: Work Match: Gym & Flat Post-match: Flat My Prediction: 1-0 Aberdeen

If only we hadnt fielded a weakened team

Construction firm posts losses in time of recession oooh the sensation of it all

What makes you think a scottish cup quarter final down there would make any difference to the attendance?

I didnt take an interest in football till 1993 so can anyone tell me if they reckon Alex ferguson would have come out slating the fans for that reaction had his team scraped a draw against lower league opposition? Considering the way he reacted after winning the 1983 scottish cup I just cant see it. I know Mcghee will never be fergie but id like to think he would be influenced by his managerial style.

BBC are getting worse I recall this was when Diamond flattened the goalie after he tipped it over the bar and the ref gave a corner. Do they even bother to send reporters to the game these days? Some of the chanting for calderwood came from the guys behind us and the chants werent for calderwood per say. they were more along the 'we spent a lot of money to get this cunt in and hes no better if not worse than the last lot'. Which at the risk of being declared short sighted I can sympathise with. I trust old mark has noted the fans response to him pulling kerr

in/oot: In Pre-match: Driving a bus full of cunts Match: Away End Post Match: Driving a bus full of pissed up and pissed off cunts Prediction: 1-0 Raith (because Ive not seen us win or score a goal this season and it would just sum things up)

Thank fuck you wont be there then

March 18th - Royal Concert hall March 27th - The Garage May 19th - Clyde Auditorium

JIm spence just said Maclean has signed and we are currently in negotiations for Jim Patterson (apparenlty we are 'getting there'

Could always fuck with their heads and in the pubs before the game all raith and dons fans swap tickets. See what the stewards do then
