Pubs were mixed in town before and after, no issues in terms of wearing colours, trains not segregated / policed on the way out or back, too - First time I've genuinely noticed that tbh -

I really doubt that Didn't sell their allocation for a LCSF in their own city at ER Take a pathetic 500 ish to AB24 on league business - 800 on an exceptionally good day We'll never know though - Happy enough just agreeing to disagree 👍 -

Aye, I don't think the first train from ABZ made it in time for ko either You would have made your 5pm one back though - We were back in Central by 4pm, for our 5.30 train to London - Any delay is on the operator these days, too 'Scunnered' is exactly the ideal word, though - And not solely for pumping's from Celtic -

There's nothing hypothetical about it SH That's exactly what we did on Sat, and have done previously We started from the South, had up to B8(?), didn't sell them, and handed them over to Celtic Alternatively, do what DD suggests One things for sure, the decision to change this to HAVING to pay for tickets you might not sell - Especially when there's already a perfect solution / precedent in place - Is to put clubs off so that Cel / Ran get more tickets No wonder folk can't be bothered..... -

Didn't take it as one We actually took a dismal 5/6000 v Hibs to a Sunday, 6pm KO, semi final, previously (Another Fuk U vote of sorts to the authorities) - There will be similar / poorer examples from other clubs, I just can't be bothered looking My hypothetical point in this case was if any of the other clubs (Out with Cel / Ran) had to go to Aberdeen for a semi, even as a one off, that I doubt any would take more than the pish poor 9000 that we took on Saturday - However, and excluding all of my other points completely, using that example would be a far better barometer IMHO -

A fair point indeed I guess I just wanted to pull him up on the nonsense he spouted, safe in the knowledge he'd not be able to explain it, thus embarrassing himself further via any reply (See above for confirmation) -

It's not moaning at all, and perfectly justifiable to most normal football fans We did not ask for 50% of the tickets this time, we asked for it to start at 50%, surely even you can see there's a difference *In bold - Who, why, when? No one I'm aware of is offering or requesting any sympathy, and smacks of more made up nonsense -

I'll repeat for the avoidance of any doubt......... 'There's a number of contributory factors: - A chairman / board that lies to it's fan base (The main one) - Awful football - Cost (In general given location, 4 expensive European away games, and 2 trips to Hampden already) - KO time / Live on council tv (Hypothetical, of course, but I doubt any other clubs out with Celtic / Rangers would take the numbers we take to Glasgow if the semi finals / finals were played in Aberdeen under identical circumstances) - No appetite to watch us take our 'routine' scudding off Celtic in Glasgow without much / any resistance - A growing desire of not being prepared to fund a rigged event any longer (A topic in it's own right, granted)' -

Would you mind explaining what the bit in bold has to do with anything, please ? -

We 'asked for it to start' at 50/50 - That's a reasonable stance for any club I think Insisting clubs buy the lot and stump up for any shortfall shines the light brighter on potential bias Selling section by section works (Hibs apart), then hand back if unsold by a given date In terms of any boycott ? Yes, I think there was Our 'average' semi final uptake is between 12-15k, and Saturday was well short of that There's a number of contributory factors: - A chairman / board that lies to it's fan base (The main one) - Awful football - Cost (In general given location, 4 expensive European away games, and 2 trips to Hampden already) - KO time / Live on council tv (Hypothetical, of course, but I doubt any other clubs out with Celtic / Rangers would take the numbers we take to Glasgow if the semi finals / finals were played in Aberdeen under identical circumstances) - No appetite to watch us take our 'routine' scudding off Celtic in Glasgow without much / any resistance - A growing desire of not being prepared to fund a rigged event any longer (A topic in it's own right, granted) Whilst it was gutting to lose that game, it must have been a neutrals ideal to watch on TV Anyway, we 'consoled' ourselves with unlimited drinks (First class upgrade 'bid' whilst waiting for our train at Central was successful) heading back South - Followed by the Pub until 3am - Still feeling like a burst couch this morning! *As an aside - It was actually quite refreshing (If that's the right word) to witness no segregation pre and post match. Conversations going to the game / on the train from MF between fans were honest with not a hint of bother -

What a pathetic hypocritical cunt that Hun manager is Cowie actually goes looking for him, then turns back when realising he's already fucked off up the tunnel -
