Aberdeen FC Chariman Responds To Critics

Last updated : 27 February 2012 By Stand Free Ed

An unnamed group of disillusioned Dons fans carried a coffin bearing the message "RIP - Thank You Milne" and laid it at Pittodrie before the match against St Mirren.

The same group deposited 'coffins' emblazoned with "RIP AFC" last Sunday, also containing a poignant piece of Aberdeen FC's history, and a message demanding change - and the focus of that change was that Stewart Milne step away from Pittodrie.

Furthermore, a group called Aberdeen For Change has grown from a thread on the Aberdeen Mad messageboard looking to focus supporters complaints and ideas into a single voice.

Milne responded to these eye-catching fans movements in an interview with STV today.

He said: "The only thing I would say to them is that it’s disappointing they see things in that light but if they want to be constructive if they came forward with some meaningful suggestions that could be beneficial to the club.

"I think we all recognise that it’s the easiest thing when you’re outside a circle to throw criticism. People are entitled to be disappointed in the performance of the club over the past period but what we need is people getting right behind the club.

"If people have things to say, (they should) come forward with positive suggestions."
