There's no shame in poverty, Stewart

Stewart McKimmie is way out of order (Evening Express, November2).

I am a season ticket holder and I was there on Wednesday I wasthere because I could afford to be.

I agree the crowd was poor, but some people may not be in theposition as to go to all the games that cups bring up and have topick and choose what games they do go to.

For Stewart to say that they should be ashamed is disgusting.

I WAS really annoyed to read Stewart McKimmie's comments aboutfans staying away from the CIS Cup quarter final.

My family of five areseason ticket holders for the Merkland Standand paid pounds100 for tickets for the Lokomotiv Moscow andCopenhagen games.

Money is tight in the run-up to Christmas and as much as we wouldlike to attend all of Aberdeen's home games it is not alwayspossible.

I AM a season ticket holder, go to every game, just came backfrom Inverness Caley costing another pounds71 for the family andbought two home tickets for the UEFA cup games costing anotherpounds54.

Sometimes the REAL fans have to say, not tonight, there areother things on - Halloween, let's stay with our children andloved ones.

Once you start paying like us, then you can slag us off. Untilthen, Stewart, shut up!
