Dons end - ticket sales are slow

[RossP]

Aberdeen have sold less than 700 of their ticket allocation for Monday night's SPL match at Caley Thistle.

While moving Aberdeen's home fixture with Hibs for television produced an attendance of 11,179, a smaller crowd than normal is expected at Caledonian Stadium next week.

Transport issues will be one reason, with the last train back to Aberdeen from Inverness leaving eight minutes before the game is due to finish.

Dons spokesman Dave Macdermid is optimistic the win against Hibs on Monday will prompt more supporters to travel for their side's next game. He said: "Ticket sales for the Hibs game were slow in the days leading up to the match. But our figures show we had double the usual amount of people turning up and paying at the gate to get into the game.

"We are hopeful there will be a similar surge in interest after the result on Monday night."

We are often watched by small crowds when we create history. Aberdeen supporters tend to keep the money in the bank till the last minute to extract the last drop of interest on their money.

Certainly not a road I want to be driving along full stop!

A guy died today in a crash on a good bit of the road near Huntly  :007:

I hope they get a crushing defeat as well. I'll be there doing my best to support ICT and I have over 100 miles to get home ( north ) so I want a happy journey. PLEASE  :021:

Try to get your ticket through the day at the ticket office, otherwise I'm sure there will be pay at the gate also.

1,000 Dons fans coming through supposedly.

[caley100]

1000 Dons fans coming through on a monday night when its on tv is good show, there will be a few from this part of the country as well, so we could have 4500-4600 of a crowd.

Well it all depends if the locals turn out instead of watching Corrie/Easties.

Hey what's all this critcism of A96. I've got feelings you know.  :018:  :004:

But seriously, I was impressed with the number of Aberdeen fans there were at the game tonight. Must have been close on 2,000. Although I wonder just how many of them were from sneck?  :024:

I don't count, I came up from Glasgow. :022:

[A96]

That's dedication tig. Quite some journey from Glasgow for a Monday night match in Inverness. Hope you got down OK!!  :022:

[Guest eriboll]

Home from match and good reports on radio especially 5 live - our fame is spreading further and further.

Thought we played great and unlucky to lose late goal - we did notice the standside linesman knew all the oppositions first names - more than I did.

But never mind - ONWARD and UPWARD.

[RiG]

That was a brilliant Away support last night from Aberdeen and the fans that travelled through should be applauded. There was easily 1,500 there minimum.
