ian1964 10,413 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Aberdeen on another collision with furious SPFL amid Betfred Cup ticket sabotage claims League bosses have written to the Dons to voice anger as 10,000 Rangers fans miss out on the October 28 clash. Aberdeen are on another collision course with the SPFL amid claims they have sabotaged the sell-out chances of the Betfred Cup semi-final. Furious league bosses have written to the Dons to voice anger at a ticket-selling strategy that could see up to 10,000 Rangers fans miss out on the October 28 clash. The SPFL instructed the Pittodrie club to sell tickets for the east stand at Hampden block by block, allowing unsold tickets to be returned to Rangers. But Aberdeen have sided with their Red Army and refused to sell seats with the worst sight lines in the National Stadium to their most loyal supporters. It’s understood the Dons have sold around 10,000 tickets from their allocation of 20,300 and decided to offer fans the best views from the middle section of each block. Now swathes of seats could go unsold, with segregation impossible, costing the four semi-finalists a cut of an additional six-figure sum. Aberdeen declined to comment but a Pittodrie insider said: “No club worth its salt would consider selling the worst tickets to those who stepped up to buy them first. It makes no business sense and is not a fair way to treat our supporters. “Fans would have held back buying tickets until the best seats eventually became available.” Rangers, with their 26,000 allocation already snapped up, declined to comment, as did the SPFL although their strength of feeling has been outlined in their letter amid suggestions it could become a disciplinary issue. The Dons stance follows chairman Stewart Milne’s call for talks with the SPFL and SFA and for greater transparency in dealing with clubs and fans. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aberdeen-another-collision-furious-spfl-13428463 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
