BeInspired SEASON TICKET INFORMATION 2015/16 1
The previous two seasons at Pittodrie have seen us make real progress with a first trophy win in 19 years and consecutive finishes near the top of the league table. The challenge now is to continue that improvement and once again rise to the challenges that face us. Everything we have achieved so far comes from the honesty and dedication of our players and the incredible backing that we receive from the Red Army, week after week. If we maintain that unshakeable bond between players and fans, we will be difficult to stop, working together for a successful future. But to achieve success we all have responsibilities. Mine is to prepare the team as best I can ahead of every game. The players is to give everything that they have to the cause, to make the necessary sacrifices and to work diligently in the service of our shirt. Yours is to bring that passionate backing to every game we play here at Pittodrie, on good days and bad. It is you that create a sense of belonging, you that create our home. We have come a long way in two seasons and with success comes expectation. Now we are looking for more. It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to stand up and be counted to help us make that next step forward. Pittodrie must be a stadium that conveys a real sense of optimism. I want my players to be inspired as they emerge from the tunnel, to be ready to deliver a performance deserving of your backing. Let s embark on the next part of our journey even more together, more united than in the past. Derek McInnes
