DEREK MCINNES has issued a rallying call to Aberdeen fans ahead of their Betfred Cup semi-final with Rangers.
The Dons have only sold around half of their 20,300 allocation.
Pittodrie chiefs had previously demanded a 50/50 split of tickets for the Hampden clash and boss McInnes said: “The fans were excellent at Easter Road and played their part in getting us through the tie.
“We are now in a semi-final, just one step away from reaching another final and you can help make this another memorable occasion for everyone connected with the club.
“The crowd is so important to the players and can be the key difference in a result.
“The club fought hard to get the increased ticket allocation and it would be good to see that rewarded with a strong turnout from our supporters, giving the team their full backing.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
