Like every other bubble, it will burst one day. Its the nature of the world.
Even if Aberdeen were spending £200m a season on the best players in the world and winning everything, i still wouldnt pay £100 a ticket. Some folk slag off Scottish football, but give me real fitba over the hyped up pomp down south any day.
And when the bubble does burst... English playboy footballers out of jobs, clubs getting liquidated, stadiums closing down, fans protesting, panic on the streets of London... magic.

Gave up both BT and Sky about 3 years ago. Cant believe I was spending £50 a month to only occasionally see an Aberdeen game. Waste of money and Moog is right, anyone still paying for it needs to ask themselves why. Its not even good value...
Great article on the "bubble" from Forbes.

It's nae just a case of "f'uck that" I just couldn't afford it
I certainly couldn't have afforded it when I was taking my 3 kids.
If it's still a working man's sport down south then the working man earns a lot more than me (something I have long suspected)
EDIT
Things donsdaft can't afford that your average minker seems to manage nae bother
Smoke
Drink in Aberdeen pubs
Have Sky TV
Order take away meals
Get his nails done, (female minkers only)
^^^^^ This would include all forms of unspeakable female pampering
Get out of my face
Actually feed my devil dug
Only wear "designer" (that has to be said in the minkiest Aberdeen accent you can manage)
I'm going to ad to this as the day goes on

Donsdaft
Now that Kenny MacLean has gone and your views on him are only mentioned 3 times a week, you are back to being my favourite poster on here (well now that Walter no longer posts)
Look forward to this list being added to - it is not only amusing but so ****ing true.
Also allows me to tell the kids not to go into the optical business
Ach, there's money to be made in optics but best if you're an optician and not a loon with 3 o'levels.
But opticians are weird min.
Mind you they have to spend their entire life in a small darkened room saying " is that better or worse" to folk who's reply could be something like " Tuesday "
I suppose that affects the mind.

Some of the stats in the above article are staggering.
"...Bournemouth, with the smallest ground capacity in the Premier League of just 11,450 and who intend to build a bigger stadium, had a turnover of almost £136.5m in 2016-17, with £5.2m from tickets. That is less than 4p in every £1 of its income for the season."
"...Bolton Wanderers - a club that has staved off threats of administration in recent years - spent £12.6m on staffing but made just £8.26m before tax and other costs. That is 153% of its turnover for the year."
Those subscribing to BT and Sky... time for a rethink.
