Indeed. And had we not asked if we could go back to Inverness half way through the SPL season we would have continued to play at Pittodrie in front of crowds of around 1,500.

Definitely Munro for me. He has come on so much in the last couple of years it really does beggar belief at times. He used to just be a bit part player with the odd appearance in the defence and now the thought of ICT starting a game without him makes you shudder. An excellent, excellent player.

Fantastic appointment for them!

Certainly no harm in asking is there? Given how popular "safe standing" areas are in Germany I do wonder if the SPL have been hasty in banning use of terracing or whatever they have done seeing as no one seems to know the rules laid down by them any more (see the Gretna/St. Mirren fiasco).

Sadly they did not.

Might have been covered elsewhere but I heard talk of one lad who attempted to complain about his treatment by the stewards only to be told by staff at the reception to "Go home!". Nice and helpful then.

The singing section was much bigger than that honest! :015: Half of it disappeared into the North Stand for fear of getting wet :007:

I am inclined to agree. He lives off that hat trick and has never improved. Hope we stay well clear of him.

Parts of this statement also appear on the BBC Scotland News -> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highla...nds/6658065.stm

Which usually means that is on the BBC website as well... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highla...nds/6658065.stm

For a large part yes but both Brown and Thomson were playing for teams before they signed professional deals at Hibs. As far as I know O'Connor came 'all the way' through the youth system at Hibs and you could argue that Brown and Thomson did to a large extent as well.

Not a chance! So Hibs have gotten nearly £7 million for Brown and Thomson now - well down Petrie! :015:

Really? News to me. Where is the Family Section in the Main Stand again?

Why are they shifting people from the Main Stand? What's happening there? EDIT: Screwed up the quote code.

I admire your positive stance on this matter and your desire to see this happen but in doing so the club risk alienating some fans. Would they be prepared to do that? Section F and others behind the goals are popular for many reasons, singing being just one. It would be interesting if the club put out a tentative letter to gauge opinion on possible shifting of fans - would people be prepared to do so if it helped the atmosphere - in the next couple of weeks before they start trying to market season tickets.

During the course of the summer my girlfriend is heading off to New Zealand to do her placement as part of her University course at RGU. While she is there she will be under taking a sky dive from a great height (13,000 feet to be exact!) to raise money for Diabetes UK. So far she has already raised nearly £500 for this worthwhile charity and I have said I would attempt to plug it on this site to try and drum up some extra support. If you would like to donate please visit www.bmycharity.com where you can donate any amount, big or small, it doesn't matter. Every little helps to copy a well known phrase. Cheers and I hope you can donate even a small amount to help her raise as much money as possible :003:

Good photo there me. Didn't realise it was that many standing up actually. Flower - for those unable to get a hold of the Courier can you tell us what is on the front page?

Would you honestly give up your seat though that you have had for the past x number of seasons though? I think some would but I don't think all of the fans who currently sit there would do.

I think that might even be only for International matches. Need to read this properly though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_Iduna_Park I read recently that Germany has the highest average attendance in the world for it's league games - could a combination of beer and standing areas be key to this? :015:

Excellent stuff - the peroxide winger has been a revelation this season. Certainly my joint POTY with Hastings (and Scott Higgins).

Amazed that both Wilson and Hastings haven't received some kind of recognition but well done to both Bayne and Munro :001:

I wish but sadly it will never happen. Just as behind the goals was the place for atmosphere at Telford Street and also behind the goals at the TCS when there was terracing it is behind the goals now that a lot of people want to sit/stand/squat for that reason. However people also want to sit there for the view and I doubt they will give up their seats (and that's perfectly fair). I am sure I read/heard that there was a chance of a singing section next year in the North Stand but someone would need to confirm?

Shame you feel like that Rosscoe. You should have said something to me on Saturday....when I was in the signing section with you all :011: "Tannadice Loyal Army!"

I would imagine only if they stand celebrating it for a pro longed period of time.
