Two questions from today...

It looked like on TV that there were more empty seats than full. About 20,000?

Seasons over, I suppose fans would rather see out the nice weather,  as there is more chance of them winning a sun burn than us winning anything this season.

Also fascinating to hear that not all season tickets have been purchased as well, let’s hope this new investment can reignite something back into the club. I can’t remember last seasons last few games but I’m guessing they weren’t looking as empty as today’s game.

The Jimmy Bell retro strip thing has occurred more than once and was advertised by the UBs a few days ago.  

 

Orange tops and blow up sheep are only offensive to yahoos and no one, respectively (even Aberdeen fans aren't genuinely bothered about sheep references, it's just a bit of fun). 

 

Not like Scottish Nationalists to try to drain fun out of Scottish traits now (winding up the opposition, in this instance), is it.

It was more than half full. I did see a TV clip (of the enclosure?) where there was a lot of empty seats but overall I'd say 32-35K.

 Bloke Core:
The "bloke core" trend is a fashion aesthetic that blends everyday casual wear with a distinct football (soccer) inspired style. It essentially involves taking traditionally masculine, unpretentious clothing often associated with British "blokes" (an informal term for men) and incorporating football jerseys, classic sneakers, and comfortable sportswear into everyday outfits.
Key Characteristics:
 * Football Jerseys: These are central to the look, often vintage or retro shirts, but can also be current season jerseys. The focus is often on UK club teams.
 * Casual Bottoms: Jeans (often straight-leg or slightly distressed), chinos, track pants, or shorts are common pairings.
 * Classic Sneakers: Iconic trainers from brands like Adidas (Sambas, Gazelles, Spezial), Nike, Converse, or Puma are frequently worn.
 * Comfort and Functionality: The emphasis is on comfortable, practical clothing rather than high fashion or overly stylized looks.
 * Nostalgia: There's often a nostalgic element, referencing the football culture of the late 20th century.
 * "Effortlessly Cool" Vibe: The aim is to look stylish without appearing to have tried too hard.
 * Optional Accessories: Baseball caps, scarves (especially team-related), and even retro track jackets can be incorporated.
Origins and History:
 * Believed to have originated as a playful observation by American TikToker Brandon Huntley in late 2021/early 2022.
 * Draws influence from the British "casual" subculture of the late 1970s and 1980s.
 * Gained significant traction on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
In essence, bloke core is a revival and reinterpretation of classic football fan style for a contemporary audience, emphasizing comfort, nostalgia, and a seemingly effortless sense of cool.
 

This description is very hard work to read. Was it generated by something?

Yes as I didn’t know the term Bloke core

Nor should you.

 

It's interesting though because the description itself is all over the place.

 

The information we get back from these tools is, in many cases, just a load of rubbish.

Yes agreed 110% but I just thought I’d highlight the nonsense of Bloke core, so if I do decide to wear my retro tops I’ll be concise about what I wear with it 🤣
