I reckon if they'd left it 2000+ buddies would have made the journey (or were able to). I can see it being about a 1000 buddies at best now. I hope i'm wrong ...

I'm not saying a Friday night is great, it's 90 minutes to get to Dundee from Paisley so that's a factor. Being on TV is also a factor but, as I said, it's a big game, supporters who were planing to go on the Saturday will, mostly, go on the Friday.

It will just mean taking the day off work which shouldn't be a problem. If given the choice between say Sunday lunch time or Friday night football, it would be Friday night for me. Also like Friday night games. Personally .... would play them all then. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think results the previous week will have as much influence on the attendance as anything else. If Utd drop points at Livingston and we thrash Brechin I think you'll see a large away support at Tannadice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turrabuddie Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Can only speak for myself. I will be there and one or two others I know as well. I'll be there too along with some of the family.Living north of Aberdeen means games in Inverness, Dundee and Brechin are like home matches to me. Expect to make about half of the remaining games this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWISAINT71 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I don't normally mind Friday night games but on this occasion it's a pain the arse as I'm Backshift that week and cannot get a holiday. I did however manage to get a holiday for the Tuesday of that week for the game against Falkirk so it will BT for me also. COYS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a traditionalist, and unapologetic about it. The occasional Friday night is okay, it has never really felt right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
