Sheep wanting 50% of seats for Semi

[LochendBilly 8,413]

No surprise there but what chance of selling them? No fucking chance!

"Chief executive Duncan Fraser expects Aberdeen to get 50% of the tickets for the League Cup semi-final against Rangers on 28 October.

Aberdeen face Rangers at 12:00 GMT before Hearts take on celtic at 19:45.

The scheduling of both semi-finals at Hampden on the same day has caused controversy, with the Dons and Hearts concerned about travel arrangements for their supporters.

"Our expectation would be a 50-50 allocation to start with," said Fraser.

"Historically, many years ago a group of Aberdeen supporters fought with the Scottish FA to ensure that Aberdeen received a 50-50 allocation."

Aberdeen is around 150 miles from Glasgow and the first train between the two cities on 28 October arrives 14 minutes after the first semi-final is scheduled to kick off."

Let then have them.  Money up front and no refunds for those unsold.

[Moody Blue Legend 61,514]

Ewe could see that coming.

[kanjo 26,328]

They should get allocations based on their home attendances, but I suppose a 80/20 split would be unfair afterall.

Ewe'd have to be blind not to.

[The Specky Forum Organiser 64,805]

No problem with that on the condition that the 10k or so they don't sell are made available to us.

Their fans are getting fleeced once again....

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,729]

Make them pay up front. They fail to sell then it's non refundable. Sell tickets in block areas working from the main stand round, any unsold would then become available to us.

Simpes.

They can Ram their request up their Baackside.

 

[BLUEDIGNITY 33,647]

Of course they do, you didn't think because our fans fill their grounds week in week out and fill their coffers with cash that they would give quarter ? How naive, that's how I stopped going to away games and give them fuck all.

[left winger 14,202]

Rightly so, if they can sell them. But start block by block so any blocks they can’t sell, we get.

[Bears 793]

These sheep jokes are so baad.

[dummiesoot 16,006]

There's mutton wrong with them.

Looks like they have managed to organise alternative transport to Glasgow instead of getting the train ?

[With Heart and Hand 8,949]

asks for 50% then starts giving excuses as to why they won't sell near that many tickets ? just a bitter and pathetic excuse for a club

That would be the sensible way to do it, but in Scottish football things are very rarely done sensibly.

[shaka 1,674]

If they get 50-50, then there should be severe financial penalties for failing to sell them.  After all it is national semi-final and will be embarrassing to Scottish football if tv audiences were to see empty seats.  A million pounds for every seat they fail to sell seems fair.....

[.Williamson. 82,292]

If I get a ticket there's no train gets me in at any time, I'll have to go plane or boat so they can cry me a fucking river with that train time pish

[ForeverAndEver 71,522]

As they should tbh.

Just hope I get one

[plumbGER 24,518]

Cutting their nose off to spite their face, mongos.

[cushynumber 25,178]

give them what they want and then laugh at them when they cant sell them
