At last the Dons are back into the competition that they have won more often than any other club in the northeast - the Aberdeenshire Cup. On particular director had been pushing for this to happen for some time and now it is a refreshing reality.
There are benefits all round, the AFC under-19s get to participate in a quality competition against (usually) very physical sides which will help their experience and toughen them up. They'll play all of their games away from Pittodrie so they are getting out and about in the Shire so supporters will have more chance to see them. The home sides will benefit from decent gates and a wee financial boost. Most of all, the trophy - one of the oldest and most magnificent in the world of football - could end up back at Pittodrie which it has so often graced in the past, taking pride of place for supporters to see when they come in for a stadium tour.
MUCH BETTER AND LIKE THE COLOUR SCHEME,ALSO...!
