Excellent and informative article.
I shall read this too...but on a related point, does anybody know the last time Sevco or the deid club last played an away game on this commemorative weekend? I always have conspiracies floating around my mind on a Sunday night...Now I'm away to study the 'tells' on Gerry & Kate McCann interviews ...
Shouldn’t matter. If the so called best fans in the world want to make a din during the minute then it should be shown to anyone that wants to view them. A bit disgraceful and corrupt in a way if fixtures are only sorted to accommodate 2 clubs during a minutes silence. That’s Scottish football for you!

I would like to know more about the relations with the Gurkahs
Quite a few work at Pittodrie (the ground situated in the city that gives the club its name, rather than an inaccessible industrial estate building in a semi-rural location with dreadful communication links, and a 'transport strategy' that looks like it was drawn in crayon by a toddler consortium in a nursery for the blind), employed by Graham Guyan, the cleaning contractor, and a very generous patron of the Heritage Trust.
They enjoy living and working in Aberdeen and have been made very welcome within the club and the community. Every year, one of their number reads an Armistice tribute in Nepalese as part of the ceremony, and they turn up in large numbers, bringing their families with them.
Aberdeen Voice carried an article about it a few years ago, when the friendship between the club and the Gurkha community was made tangible by the presentation of a commemorative plaque to the club, and a Gurkha dagger to the Trust. Fantastic people.
