Scottish football is in danger of losing away days…
The Celtic end at Pittodrie, October 2021…
The Ticket spat caused by theRangers and their supporters by throwing the toys out of the pram due to one defeat at Ibrox too many at the hands of Celtic seems to have trickled down the league, as others are now taking a similar stance.
St Mirren and Hearts as we know deployed the same strategy last season and look like following suit this term. Now Aberdeen have decided to adopted a similar approach and are reportedly only going to offer away supporters 300 briefs for clashes at Pittodrie.
Tynecastle and Pittodrie are great away days for the Celtic support and many thousands have crammed into these two venues throughout the years, adding atmosphere while swelling the coffers of both sides.

Such moments look to now be in danger as it looks increasingly likely that both clubs will slash the ticket allocation by a significant amount.
It’s of course well within both clubs rights to do just that, but it raises questions regarding the future of the away supporters in this country.
By doing so they are taking theRangers lead by thinking more supporters equals a bigger advantage, but the Ibrox club can sell out their allocation against us while the Jambos and the Dons are unlikely too. So it could well be a hit in the pocket for the two sides.

Whatever the outcome, the day of a large travelling support is going to be a thing of the past, and that’s shame.
