Tyrant Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Still won't commit to purchasing a season ticket quiet yet. Although I can promise that I will buy a ticket for the County game. Can anyone remind me how much extra the black and gold thing costs? Quote
Jute Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Phoned the club to get them to send out season ticket information this morning. Quote
Penfold Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Still won't commit to purchasing a season ticket quiet yet. Although I can promise that I will buy a ticket for the County game. Can anyone remind me how much extra the black and gold thing costs? I think it's £66 extra. I'll be getting one with the black and gold add-on next payday. Quote
Stewart Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 I think it's £66 extra. I'll be getting one with the black and gold add-on next payday. It's definitely worth it considering I'd have got a top and RedTV anyway. Quote

Mentorred Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 RedTV International ordered. Was thinking of getting this but wondered what was going to happen about the tv deal. It seems they only show games that are on Sky/ESPN or Alba Quote
Madbadteacher Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Well, lets see if RedTV International will work this season! Quote
Madbadteacher Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Was thinking of getting this but wondered what was going to happen about the tv deal. It seems they only show games that are on Sky/ESPN or Alba Only way I can see of getting goals/highlghts Quote
Mentorred Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 you always got goals and Highlights through redtv but needed international for live games. Quote
dave_min Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Weird This is the message i'm getting everytime I try it. My work hasn't blocked anything so i'm not sure why it's not working anymore Make sure you put the 'www.' bit at the start. If you don't it doesn't work. If you wanna know why, ask GD. Bought my Season Tickets today! Woooo. Didn't go gold though as both the new strips look shite. I'll probably end up buying them though, and in turn give the clulb that extra bit of cash - 'cause i'm just a slightly better fan than most all of you. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 you always got goals and Highlights through redtv but needed international for live games. Last season I got told my account didn't exist, and as we were so pish I didn't bother fixing it! Quote
Mentorred Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Last season I got told my account didn't exist, and as we were so pish I didn't bother fixing it! I wonder if when Rangers fans try and renew Rangers tv they get a message saying your team does not exist? Quote

glasgow sheep Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Posted July 17, 2012 Duncan Fraser makes a rallying call: (FULL THING HERE: http://www.afc.co.uk/page/TV/InterviewsDetail/0,,10284~2851217,00.html) "There has been months of media speculation as what was going to happen. We made our position clear, we stood by that and now we know the outcome we have to move on. Throughout all the speculation I have said it is about what happens at our club. It is about supporting AFC and not worrying about what is happening at other clubs. "There have been various campaigns orchestrated during the summer by supporters to get behind the club and now is the time for people to step up to the plate. What has taken me back is the number of donations we have received from supporters, many living abroad. What we have done with that is to work with local charities so we can allow families to come to games that would not otherwise be able to. "The challenge though facing us is massive. People have asked if the SPL could live without Rangers. It is now the time to prove the League is about more than one club or two. "Buying season tickets is the best way for supporters to back the club. It allows us to plan ahead. It means fans have bought into the club for what will be a challenging season but a season with real potential for Aberdeen. "The U12 free season ticket initiative has been a great success. The number of U12 season ticket holders we have will probably treble if not quadruple by the time the season starts and that is what our campaign this year is aimed at. Furthermore what we wanted to do with the Black and Gold season tickets was to offer fans a loyalty aspect that would give them real value. It is has been a huge success. Both initiates have been well received and the marketing round them has been really good. "Now is the time though to really ratchet it up and we will be doing that. We have two or three weeks before the start of the season and we really need everyone to get behind Aberdeen Football Club. "There are lots of other ways that supporters can get right behind the club and we have outlined them. "At lot of the fans are talking about making the Ross County game a sell out which is great but we need more than one sell out. We need a consistently increased crowd level. It is also makes a hell of a difference for the players on the park. "The manager, the coaching staff and the players are well aware of what is expected of them this season. Out of adversity brings opportunities. Other clubs have had to let players go and with the hard work that has gone on at Pittodrie over the past couple of years there is no reason why we can't motor ahead and be right up there at the top end of the SPL next season. That is the ambition of the manager, the players and everyone associated with the club and it is the expectations of the fans. It is now essential we start to deliver that product." Quote
manc_don Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Duncan Fraser makes a rallying call: (FULL THING HERE: http://www.afc.co.uk/page/TV/InterviewsDetail/0,,10284~2851217,00.html) It is now essential we start to deliver that product. That bit is particularly true, given the past few seasons of below par performances. Still, glad to hear that the fans seem to be repaying the club for their stance over the close season Quote
