Chris Frae Killie Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 How delighted am I to be able to start this topic!?! I have checked the previous fixtures and no-one has more than one booking so we don't have any suspensions for the final this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA-Don Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Tactics and type of personnel have to be the same as yesterday, positive line up and have ago. While it wasn't the attacking performance we wanted I believe it was set up to be and brought a positive mindset to the players. We can't go in to the tic game with a defensive line up and formation and try to absorb pressure. Same as the cup final in Hayes last game where we lost in the last minute, be brave and I think we are due a win. The tic are nothing special and inconsistent these days, and very beatable.

Lencarl Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Aberdeen soften ticket stance for Celtic final as Dons won't demand 50-50 split of tickets https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aberdeen-soften-ticket-stance-celtic-13502783 Pure speculation from the D.M. a non story, but as stated on several occasions before, start off with 50/50 split.

It's always a 50/50 split for finals, so unless AFC state otherwise it will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 So no 50/50 split then? Probably about the right figure mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoS321 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 So no 50/50 split then? Probably about the right figure mind I think we're given option of 50-50 but the club has to pay for them up front. Thus AFC don't want to be left with 5K unsold tickets.

tlg1903 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Given the number of freebies given to sponsors etc that pretty much is 50/50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'd be amazed if there was a clamour for more than 20k. Doesn't impact me mind. Sure all those wanting will get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoS321 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Me too. Shite seats. Wasn't impressed with all the glory hunters able to swan online and get tickets before superfans like myself. Again, Hampden should be split vertically so that more fans can get a seat with a view. We should have had the North stand going into the wings. That way we'd have had about 12K of good seats. £31 for a restricted/binocular view seat. £38 if you want that ticket posted to yer house.

I have pretty shit seats too, but won't be complaining when Shinnie lifts the trophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket_scientist Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Definitely time for it now Initial 18,000 all sold I don't get the ticket sales for this one. We got one for my 17 year old daughter, simply because she's never ever seen the Dons draw let alone lose so she's coming along as the lucky charm but she's attended no more than half a dozen games in her life. That can't be right, that some of us can get as many tickets as we want but many genuine supporters will lose out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be right, that some of us can get as many tickets as we want but many genuine supporters will lose out? It's based on feedback, on fans saying they want to be able to sit with their mates and that limiting sales meant they couldn't, as that this was impacting in the atmosphere. So in this instance the club should be commended for listening to feedback. Needs worked on - maybe every person should have a minimum number of loyalty points.
