Most of their fans are fine but they do have a sizeable number who peak too early and act like fannies. Still, the boozers will do well from the sheep pound on Saturday. 

I can't stand them. Find them more insufferable than the OF fans when they come to Dens. See far more trouble when they are in town than any other side.

The allocation is 4,100

Correct. Shankly just over 3k and the Main Stand allocation c 1100. Have heard they haven't completely sold out allocation yet but almost. On the other hand some are saying they have support trying to buy tickets in the home areas but address details and pre registering requirements may rule that out.

The club website has stated they’ve been sold out for days as per attached.

Saw that. The odd ticket that seems to have been bought recently may be through supporters club allocations. There could be a few ticketless Sheepies hanging around on Saturday though.

They're called Sheep for a reason, will flock behind their team if they win two in a row, never mind eight or whatever it is. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing, they're very delicate creatures. 

As for a long winning run, psychologically teams start to switch off a bit, rather than get stuck in when you're desperate for a win. That's how football works unless you're Celtic, Manchester City or Arsenal etc. Confident about tomorrow.

Page one, post number two could have prevented the last three pages of debate. Always thought I was trusted as the ticket sales guy on here 

Aberdeen sold out the away end last week, Shankly and also the Main Stand for the first time in years. Somewhere between 4100 and 4200 as is always the total allocation of those two stands in the away end every derby and Old Firm game at Dens for the last 25 years.

Our sales aren't brilliant for a £30 quid game as always, but they're not too bad at this stage either. Will go 9200 at the game.

Much more importantly, here's hoping our defence turns up or we'll need to score a few to get anything out the game.

Always look forward to a Saturday 3pm at Dens, particularly in this league. Aberdeen aren't going to win every game of the season despite their excellent start. Here's hoping we're the first to burst their bubble.

I remember watching some of them rock a car till I toppled over at bottom of hill street 

They think they're a mini old firm total wankers

Tough game but one I'm looking forward too.

Hopefully be a decent crowd!

Going to go an entertaining 2-2 draw, or a last minute winner for us 3-2!

We need to close down and move the ball a lot quicker.

Surely it’s about time to give Astley an opportunity to play or is he that bad?

 

Agree. With McGhee, Shaugnessy and C. Robertson not fit enough to start, Astley has to be a shout to play in a back 3 if TD decides to go that way. Portales and Koumetio as a pairing is a rudderless. Astley may not offer much to improve that pairing if thrown in a back 3 with them, but it begs the question, why ship Graham out on loan if Astley ain't trusted?

2 bus loads in the Glens at 11am this morning.

4 hours of refreshments before kick off.

The reason I stopped travelling to away games on supporter's buses. Never got the idea of landing at a pub right on 11am to maximise drinking time. 

I like to see and to remember the games.
