RoyCropper Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 According to my sheep workmate. Apart from 200 tickets which would be sold at a cash gate. Not sure how true it is though. Should be a decent atmosphere if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambof3tornado Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I assume thats 2 sections sold out and the extra 600 at the cash turnstyles will just reduce the segregation gap. Good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I usually sit in with the Red Army when we play The Dons, always take the opportunity to meet up with a couple of sheep supporting mates who get me a ticket. Quite a strange experience being in the away end at Tynecastle. Anyone else ever do this? Last time I did it we got done 3-0 though, Csaba's swansong I think. Usually restrict my celebrations to a wee covert nudge on the mates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodfella Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Good on them and fair play if they have. Don't understand people's reaction, I hate seeing the empty spaces in the Roseburn when there's no away fans.

Teddy Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Mind you, selling out 1400 tickets for such a glamorous fixture against Heart of Midlothian in such a stadium as Tynecastle isn't really an amazing feat when you think of it. Seriously though there was a time, not so long ago, when the Sheep did (near enough) sell out the Roseburn quite regularly. Should be a good atmosphere though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidkeye Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Mid 40's central belt glory hunters do it again. When they die their away support will match Inverurie Locos. Nap. Went to an Aberdeen game at Easter Road with a Dons supporting mate a couple of seasons back and the vast majority of the Aberdeen support were imo 18-35, so i find the above statement that crops-up all over the place a bit inaccurate. It's probably more the fact that an average journey time of 2-3 hours on a train/coach etc with your mates, having a bevvy is actually more appealing. On the reverse if we were able to go to a half-decent stadium where the away-end provides decent conditions/facilities, a stand where an excellent atmosphere can be created, and a handful of decent pubs nearby etc, we would take more fans to Aberdeen. Surely the away end at Pittodrie has to be one of the worst in the SPL and that combined with the weather probably puts-off a few of the less loyal fans who would go to St Mirren/Dunfermline/St Johnstone etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I really dont get the reaction either. More bums on seats is fine by me - used to quite enjoy Aberdeen games when they pretty much sold out the Roseburn. They are bringing as many (if not more) to us than we would take to them, and probably going to give us our first 'decent' gate. Still, i'm sure it would be a MUCH better game if it were observed in front of 12k in relative silence.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 What's the problem? Would much rather have them bringing down a good size support and create an atmosphere than them turning up like St Mirren with a couple of hundred fans rammed into the corner. I expect them to flood the pitch with bog roll or to have some sort of banner to noise us up as well. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts have advised us turnstiles will open at 2pm, but we have asked them to open turnstiles earlier than this due to the high number of Aberdeen fans expected. We will amend this article if this is agreed by Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hearts v Aberdeen is normally a noisy fixture - one of the better ones to attend. They normally bring a good support because it's an attractive fixture for them, good opposition, good stadium and a great away day in Edinburgh; plus a lot of their studenty fans tend to be based in Edinburgh anyway.

MMHearts Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Not really misleading, they have sold their allocation. Sheep have always had a more than decent away support. Not denying that. Their allocation is 2 sections and the end has 5 sections hence the end isn't sold out but their allocation is. If the thread had stated Aberdeen have sold their allocation it would be correct but it states they have sold the end when clearly they havent.
