Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack is advocating for a five per cent minimum away ticket allocation in the Scottish Premiership. Currently, no away fans attend Celtic and Rangers derby clashes, leading to criticism. Cormack believes it is important to have a healthy number of away fans for a great atmosphere.
Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack is backing plans for a five per cent minimum away ticket allocation to be introduced by the Scottish Premiership and revealed that all but 60 of his club’s 600 briefs at Parkhead are restricted view.
Cormack told Sky Sports: “My view and the view of Aberdeen and most people I think is that it’s healthy to have a healthy number of away fans at games. I remember back in the day being at Ibrox and Celtic Park with 3000 fans and you get a great atmosphere. We go down to Celtic Park now and get like 600 tickets and 90 per cent of them are restricted view!
“I’d be a fan of five per cent guaranteed for away fans or 10 per cent but if it’s going to be 10 per cent then the visiting club has to guarantee that balance of sales so they actually happen. If you look at Pittodrie. We have 1800 seats for the biggest crowds of visiting clubs - Hearts, Hibs, Celtic and Rangers - and they get some of the best seats in the house and the atmosphere is fantastic.
"I love Scottish football and it gets a fair bit of flak from down south and there are certain situations where Scottish football shoots itself in the foot and this is one of them. You’re selling a product around the world, what’s the best for that product? That’s away fans at venues and the league really need to get on top of this and get on top of it quickly in terms of the 5 per cent allocation - that being a bare minimum.
