    HJK Helsinki (a)

    1528 tickets sold out pretty quickly for this one. Can't help thinking they set initial loyalty points threshold too low given ample time to do it in stages. Luckily I got in quick early doors. Am sure a few will have missed out.

    Might be worth phoning up tomorrow Mason. I'll bet you they've kept a few back. I thought maybe a thousand tops for this one. Quite surprised that many going.

    They were only required to give us an allocation of 5% of the 10,000 seater stadium and I thought that 500 dandies making the journey at that time of year would be pretty impressive!
    I was surprised that we got such a high ticket allocation, and whilst the PAOK away had 100 points, 50 points and then general sale, this one went from 100 straight to general sale!

    Yep. I’d say that Aberdeens support is fairly unique amongst uk clubs, in that there’s a sizeable group of supporters that rarely go away, and a sizeable group who rarely go to home games.

    The club have never really acknowledged that, in all the years I’ve been going.

    I guy I know has AberDNA, doesn't go to any games, unless it is a corporate freebie and has a ticket for the Helsinki game.

    50 years old, claims to be an Aberdeen fan, but collects Liverpool memorabilia and never misses Liverpool on Sky.

    That's the sh*t most of us are up against, and Dave the Teeth, laps it up.

    Yep, this system was never set up to reward ‘loyalty’

    If the same 1500 fans were at Rugby Park & Fir Park in the next few weeks with all of us, I wouldn’t complain.

    ‘Central Belt Dons Fans’ received an email from the club today, specifically asking us to top up the support at the semi. Don’t recall getting one for Burnley or Helsinki away.

    I’m not even asking for parity with the teuchters. I think that if you’re regularly going to games, you at least deserve a chance at the showbiz games, before being completely f*cked over by DNAers on a jolly
