    They only moved to their current 'temporary' stadium a few seasons ago. Their "fortunes" have actually gone downhill since then.

    A cautionary tale perhaps.

    And it looks from Google maps as if it is actually in the conurbation from which the club takes its name.

    Still, the headline-writers will have new cliches if we move "Brimmond with talent", "Kingsford a day", "Centre half'Skene to move" etc. I'll have my invoicing software and copyright law mannie on standby.

    As far as I'm aware their 'permanent' new home is going to be built on the site of the stadium the Dons played them in. The Kantrida was it? Imagine being able to build a new stadium on a piece of land sandwiched by the sea and a cliff. Impossible surely 😄

    Only just over 300 going to Rijeka. Thought it might have been a bit more than that.

    This would be true, if they were talking about Rijeka.

    I think the 'been there' before factor has come in to play but there wasn't that much more the first time around was there?

    325 I think. It seemed more at the time though when the cops escorted us out and onto buses. I get the been there before but I thought the ones who had been before and are not going again would have been cancelled out by ones going who hadn't been before. Anyway no matter how many or how few lets hope for a favourable result.

    I dont envisage an easy game tomorrow, with our preparation having been hampered and if were without McKenna also it could be tough. Ffs McKenna you trump loving wannnk

    How do we think we'll line up tomorrow night then...

    Lewis
    Logan McKenna Considine Leigh
    Ojo Ferguson
    Hedges Gallagher McGinn
    Cosgrove

    That would be my guess. Cerny, Devlin, Bryson, Wilson, Wright, Campbell, Anderson on the bench maybe.

    Think this is going to be a tougher game than we're anticipating. There seems to be high expectancy levels that we're going through because we beat them a few years ago. The teams we've played in the last couple rounds have been Championship level sides - I expect Rijeka to be somewhere nearer Rangers level - ie similar standard to ourselves with a very very good couple of performances needed to get through.
