Id also add that Aberdeen secured a deal for this season that all season ticket holders can opt to watch from home.

A lot take this option up whilst still not wanting to go to crowded events, other games like on Wednesday when the weather was very poor and a lot of people in the North East still not reconnected with power following the storm, they would have opted not to go to the game when they can watch at home

They opted to stay at home and watch a game, that they didn't even have power to watch it on a device?

 

Fair enough. :lol:

Didn’t you say when asked at the time, you’d been on holiday and hadn’t been following the news? Surely you’ve had time to read up about it now?


I’m not that bothered to be honest.

I think it’s silly, but it’s not worth getting your knickers in a twist about

Surely, regardless off covid, a businessman should be trying to attract as many customers as he can. Once profits are sacrificed for ‘silly political gesticulating’ it’s time to start worrying imo. It’s not that long ago Dave Cormack said he was going to build a gap between Aberdeen and the other non OF clubs and then he decides to limit the clubs income. I just don’t understand the guy at all. He seems a very contrary type. 


is it restricting income?

Those that want to attend will be able to do so. Those that opt to watch from home virtually through their season ticket can.

Oh I know, some on here are as obsessed with them as you and your lot. 

 

Now, can you answer the question? 


what this one?

Your fans definitely give too much attention to this tribute act. Why the big clamour to get tickets for Ibrox to watch a new club? 

 

I’m not sure it would be described as a big clamour.

It is still nice to beat the tribute act at their home and give the Orcs who follow the tribute act a good GIRFUY.

Its also good to keep reminding them that they let their club die.

 

The Orcs are the same, but the club is not

Well aye, it’s restricting income. If you want to avoid the issue then go ahead, I shouldn’t really need to spell out the advantages of having football fans, both home and away supporters actually in the ground, so I won’t bother.

I prefer to be there, but I’m not convinced that there will be a materially significant difference to the revenue.

I’ve shown before that our turnover is gained through a number of measures and I’d be confident that the next years accounts will be increased on last years

Everyone’s accounts will be increased on last years because there were no fans in attendance last year. This year Aberdeen have limited the attendance . If they hadn’t limited the number they allow in they’d have made more money. It’s basic stuff. Why do you think rangers, Celtic, Hibs and Hearts haven’t limited numbers and DC has? All those 4 clubs allow season ticket holders to stream home league games free btw so it’s not that.

Season ticket holders can and are opting to watch from home for a variety of reasons. This reduces the actual attendance WITHOUT impacting the revenue for said ticket.

There is no restriction that would impact a home fan from attending should they wish to.

 

An argument could be made about restricting away fans of course, but there is so much more to consider there.

 

Anyway, need to go for now, off to the game

😂 he’s some man like. Won’t admit they can’t get decent crowds (on numerous occasions) and thinks Dave Cormack can do no wrong. Living in a fantasy land.

Any Scottish games being streamed?

There will be a stream for all the Scottish top flight games if their club tv are covering it.

I find Red tv is one of the best out of them all for not buffering.

They’ve given away 1,300 tickets to NHS  staff and apparently it’s a Hibs kids day too.
