Secondly, afc1903mad thinks Milne is telling us all porkies.

Living where I do I have no buy in to this location thing my issue is the people making the decisions. This 'we'll support you evermore' Red till dead top red stuff is all very admirable but , ultimately, if the club is being run by fckwit(s)s it's death or glory over the top stuff. The recent emails I have been getting regarding DNA does nothing to convince me the club regards the fans with anything other than contempt.
Might be co-incidence but we haven't looked after Pittodrie since the RDS was opened, which is what, 25 years ago. if you believe the hype, we've been paying sky high maintenance costs in that time. In the same 25 years, we've won two trophies and racked up £15million debts. And now, we are looking at moving to a stadium in the middle of nowhere.
As I say, may be a coincidence with Milne's tenure.
Glad you mentioned the maintenance costs Termie as I was going to bring that up as lie No.3. Milne says that to keep Pittodrie in its current state, costs ‘upwards of £500k a year’. Now given his background, I refuse to believe that he lets tradesmen rip the pish out him that badly. That’s how he earned his money in the first place.
I think anyone trusting that figure buttons up the back
Another reason for my dwindling interest. We are there for money and nothing else
Fans are the lifeblood of some of the clubs ive visited. The fans opinion matters. Some clubs have monthly meetings for fans, Airdries young Diamonds is a fantastic idea and clubs should use it as a model, free away transport with season tickets at alot of clubs, one adult season ticket gets a kids ST for a tenner is common, input on new grounds layouts and supporters bars set up that was followed through. In Germany if you have an ST you get a rail card free. Clubs subsidising tickets that are far too expensive. Fans at board level. Heaps of good stuff and i could go on
F@ck sake ive even seen a stadium set up to accomodate what the away fans want.Rapid Vienna asked away clubs if the wanted safe standing or seating. Safe standing won and was installed. Lookong after others
We dont even look after our own and the top man at the club is hellbent on getting folks backs up
We got our singing section put in the pokey corner of the family stand. Our lead display organiser was treated like sh@te but funnily enough the club today are still cashing in on his work. We are looking to have the fence errected in the south again, we are expected to travel to the back of beyond for games. We have been made to watch our house crumble due to being neglected by our housebuilding chairman. We are force fed words and nothing but words with no physical back up and to to suck it up. We have witnessed a massive divide created between fans. We have seen our club sit and say nothing when the fans were branded scum on the back page of the paper. Watched the club say nothing on the fans twice being accused of sectarianism. We have had our chairmans twice without provocation big up the most hated club in the land and a player follow suit. I could also go on here
We are a hinderance but a much needed cash cow
The worst thing i ever did was start watching other clubs as it has shown me how sh@t our club really is
