Redz Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 So how many of them were Killie or Dons fans? Or swap second place in the top league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendricks Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I've just cracked one off to that. Hearts still counting every season ticket sold as turning up every week...a la Celtic and Rangers ? Quite possibly more at Tynecastle than at Ibrox today. Good on the 79 Alloa fans sound like you just about traveled in superior numbers to the Killie fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamia Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Right tiff Goodwillie had with McInnes Thought it was nice that Miller got such a nice reception when he was subbed It was hard going but Aberdeen were worthy winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Q Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Quite possibly more at Tynecastle than at Ibrox today. Good on the 79 Alloa fans sound like you just about traveled in superior numbers to the Killie fans. There were more Alloa fans than that there on Saturday. Hats off to them, £22 for Easter Road last week, at least £23 against us a week later, to watch two games in which they pretty much knew they in advance they would lose. They actually played a bit better on Saturday, they were awful against Hibs, had they played like that at Easter Road they might have pinched a point.

Cove_Sheep Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 142 killie fans so more than Hamilton, Motherwell and St Mirren took in the league. And more than riga, socidedad and livi in cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 142 killie fans Not too bad for the Saturday before Xmas. Not a patch on the old days of a couple of thousand going up. Mind you the team's not a patch on that one too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you the team's not a patch on that one too... We've never taken a couple thousand up there in my lifetime going there. I can remember almost filling the away section back in 1993 when Paul Kane scored a cracker in a 1-0 defeat first away game of season. Maybe took 1000 for the next few visits then been in steady decline. Usually 200-300 travel although been a couple of 500-600 (first game last season and midweek relegation must win under tango) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcoolJ Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Killie certainly not the poorest team I've seen a Todders this season. They were actually quite decent, well organised, disciplined and showed some fight. Maybe just lacked a bit of game control and pace. Certainly had more about them than what I saw of the game at Ibrox I'm going to ruffle some feathers - but we should have kept Magennis. He isn't a 90 minute player but he was always good coming off the bench and at least offers a threat - and he was cheap! Thought he had a decent game on Saturday. Have to say, and as much as I liked him, I think Miller is maybe past it - showed some nice touches but think Killie need much more out of a striker than that.

While I like Josh for giving 200%, he was part of the failed 'let's accept 7th place' mentality that had driven the club into the ground until McInnes came along. McInnes got rid of Magennis and replaced him with Rooney and Goodwillie...we've also got Shankland scoring goals for fun for the u-20's and breaking into the 1st team. Thanks Josh for the effort you put in, but I was glad to see you go. Edited December 22, 2014 by Rossy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove_Sheep Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 To put Killie's crowd in context, away attendances at Pittodrie this season: Riga: 50 Gronigen: 677 Sociedad: 97 Dundee Utd: 2016 Partick: 388 Ross County: 329 Livingston: 118 Inverness: 404 St Mirren: 133 Motherwell: 113 Hamilton: 178 Celtic: 2052 Hamilton: 115 Kilmarnock: 142 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Josh for the effort you put in, but I was glad to see you go. Fair enough, but I don't think Magennis can be blamed for the shape the team was in under Brown! I will admit that all I've really seen of Shankland is a young, wee lad who blazed a sitter over the bar from 5 yards. Suspect he is normally way more composed than Magennis in front of goal though. But, Magennis is a good target man when you're chasing a game, probably a "luxury" a team like Aberdeen can ill afford. It's just that I've looked at the bench in the last few weeks and thought...hmmm, nothing overly exciting or game changing to offer there. Yes, Anderson, Flood and Robson still to return, but there will always be a few injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cove_Sheep Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 What's up with the lad Chris Johnston? Came on as a 2nd half sub, I always thought he looked like he would have been a player that should be starting for Killie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exglasgowasc Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 So the sum total of away fans so far this season if you discount the jutes and the dhims is less than we have taken to some away games!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenAngus Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Inconsistent but I'd start him more regularly. I thought McKenzie was your best player on Saturday. Also liked the look of big lad Muirhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muirhead will be a great player. We'll be lucky to hold onto him in January. Lot of clubs sniffing about down south. Mckenzie is good, 21 now though.
