Supporters club orders to be in by this Friday. SPFL board meeting with Caley fans at the end of next week about their fixture - clearly being strung along.

it will  be interesting to find out the Justification for playing it at Easter Road?

 

 

They can't claim it was agreed at the start of the tournament

They cant claim it is the biggest Non-Glasgow stadium

They Cant claim its equal distance for both sets of supporters

They cant claim its easier to segregate fans (South Stand OF Allocation + RDS vs South Stand, Merkland & Main)

They cant claim its easier for public transport for all fans

Aberdeen have been allocated 10,700 seats, 61% of the stadium capacity.

From the mouth of Cockwomble

'"Travel is one of a significant number of factors considered when arranging such fixtures and we are, of course, sympathetic to the unique challenges faced by the Inverness supporters," the SPFL chief executive explained.[/size]"However, other issues such as stadium capacity and facilities, the respective sizes of support which teams will bring and the requirements of broadcasters all have to be considered.'

8000 tickets sold so far after ST's and SC's

 

These top priority groups will have until close of business on Monday 16^th December to secure their seat and guarantee a match ticket.

Thereafter a ballot will take place to distribute the remaining match tickets. In order to qualify for the ballot supporters MUST have attended at least 3 home matches at Pittodrie this season.

Would have thought that these could possibly head our way if they don't sell their allocation?

[tom_widdows]

Have we sold our initial allocation yet?

[nasal whine] Any spare tickets, pal? [/nasal whine]

 

Disna look like it

[tom_widdows]

Depends if Saints shift their 5000 allocation. (They only get 1604 seats in the main as opposed to the dons 1778)Seems there are also 1829 seats taken up either by corporate/sponsors etc or have been ear marked as segregation points.

 

and in lighter newshttp://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/sport/football/the-dons/dons-fans-urged-not-to-buy-semi-final-tickets-in-st-johnstone-end-1.173478

[tom_widdows]

Saints have apparently sold out their initial allocation and are now waiting for Main Stand tickets to arrive.

 

One of their message-board mods posted that the AFC official site announced an additional 1200 tickets had been released for the Dons fans but I can't find anything? 

 

Typically the event that stopped me from ordering a ticket through the Glasgow Reds has now been cancelled
