Geordie Saint

Not long back. After much uncertainty everything fell into place. Trains ran, game was on and I got to see the lesser spotted saints away win. Even rarer at Pittodrie by all accounts. My heart did sink for a moment when the Aberdeen fan on the train near me told his mates there would be an 11 am pitch inspection. We were due to get off at 11.05. I e-mailed afc and they swiftly replied to say pitch was fine and game good to go....and relax! Both team and support were fantastic yesterday. A bit like Newcastle it's like being on one big rollercoaster ride. Got out for a good few pints in Aberdeen last night and enjoyed them despite having to run from bar to bar to try, in vain to dodge the incessant rain. Breakfast was funny when one or two Aberdeen fans were moaning this morning 😃. A good end to 2023. All the best for the NY everyone. COYS and Howay the Toon.

Glad you enjoyed it mate and your plans all came good, let's hope the Toon pull off another minor miracle tomorrow as well. All the best for 2024.

Aye, keeping a nervy eye on the trains. Bit confusing cos Scotrail appear to be running trains between Edinburgh and Aberdeen ok but LNER have replacement busses. Hoping we at least get the match out the way then bad weather passes quickly overnight and we get back alright on Sunday.

Decided to go for it. Unexpectedly been able to drag the wife up there with me for a stay in the Copthorne. A step up from my usual travelodge/premier inn. She's not going to the game. Maybe a good thing as the last one was a 4-1 hiding at Livingston. Ordered my ticket today and been assured any tickets, including mine will be taken up there and be able to pick up from the Aberdeen ticket office. Sod Xmas, I'm looking forward to my Aberdeen trip.

Keep an eye on the weather for getting home mate, could be cancellations on the trains etc.

Decent hotel mate, stayed there a few times, nice and handy for the train station and the bar/restaurant is pretty good as well.
 
 

Well done you, hope you enjoy it and the result is satisfactory.

After your advice I got a reply from an email to Karin saying while she won't be attending personally, one of her colleagues can meet me there with a ticket should I decide to travel. Decision to be made now 🤔.
