ByronLoon1986 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Really looking forward to Saturday's match against Hearts. 2nd vs 3rd should be a classic with a big crowd expected! But the argument still rages on.. Who's the bigger club?? So i thought the TA message board would be a good place to bring it up again. Find out what fans of other clubs think! Support wise I think Hearts have a bigger support although Aberdeen have a larger travelling support! History/trophy wise i think its just Aberdeen! There's really not much between them.. Dons or Jambos??? Let the debate begin .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanhibee Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Aberdeen have more trophies but I think hearts have more history both are under achievers apart from the Dons in the 80s were they managed to get under the skin of the old firm. My opinion it's a draw with the hibees being bigger than both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Aberdeen's glory days were more recent, but it's Hearts for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenAngus Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Aberdeen, Hearts & Hibs are all similar sized clubs. Wouldn't say any of the 3 is significantly bigger than the other 2. Aberdeen are the most successful of the 3 but I'd not use success as a defining the size of a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanJon Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hearts were mostly a Kilmarnock or a St Mirren until Romanov spent money he didn't have on a dream that was unachievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Angus has it pretty much spot on. Nothing between Aberdeen, Hibs or Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It can change but right now Aberdeen are clear leaders in the race to be the 3rd biggest club in Scotland. I say that with no love for them. Funny how Hearts see themselves as serious competition. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Aberdeen have never been defeated by Real Madrid. Ever. Thread over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Aberdeen have never been defeated by Real Madrid. Ever. Thread over. If that's the criteria... During this successfull season, plans were put in place to take part in a tour of Spain, and in the summer of 1927 Manager John Sailor Hunter and 16 players set off on a trip that would see Motherwell rake in guaranteed earnings of £1,700. Under the supervision of director James Taggart, the squad played eight games, winning six, drawing one and losing one. Notable results from this trip included a 3-1 win over Real Madrid, a 2-2 draw with Barcelona, a 4-0 win against Celta Vigo and a 5-0 thrashing of Red Star Olympique on a scheduled stop-over in France on the way home. Further down the article we drew 1-1 with the Brazilian national side, so presuming there wasn't a return fixture, they've never beaten us either.

sbcmfc Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 On a serious note, Aberdeen have the biggest stadium, but hearts probably the most fans, Aberdeen have had the biggest achievements and in my lifetime are head and shoulders above hearts, who are a good bit in front of hibs. Taking out the old firm, who's next? Probably a load of teams pretty close? Dundee, Dundee United, Motherwell, Killie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Did they get a draw in the pre-season game a few years back? Right enough. I forgot about that one. Was it 4 competitive games unbeaten against them which is impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Motherwell and Killie are not as big as the Dundee clubs. Historically, definitely not, but football didn't exist before 1993. In fact, can I bend that to 1991 to include our cup win, or 1995 to wipe uniteds? It's a great debate, because you can make a lot of different cases based on the criteria.

jimstroma Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Fan base, Hearts are bigger than Aberdeen. If the Jambos had a 30k stadium they would have a much larger average attendance Aberdeen have been more successful club thanks to Sir Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Right enough. I forgot about that one. Was it 4 competitive games unbeaten against them which is impressive. It's four wins out of four.
