Apart from the Scottish Cup final in May it has been a horrible couple of seasons for The Dons. Where is the next win coming from? Could the unthinkable happen? How would they do in the playoffs?

Never relegated thanks in part to league rules about stadiums which kept Falkirk down and WW1 kept them in the top flight many years before!
I for one look forward to a new 14 team league format.
They’ll stay up, even if they finish 11th they’ll beat Thistle.
BUT I think if they finish 10th or above nothing will change, if the want Cormack to admit he’s the problem and take a big step back they need to finish 11th and have a real scare, a la Budge at Hearts a few years ago realising she needed to let the people she’d hired do their own job when it came to the ‘footballing decisions’
Luck will have it that this is the season when a team in red can’t be relegated.
Presumably this is asking if they’ll finish 11th and go down via the playoffs.
If so…have you seen who has the best chance of being in the playoff final? Thistle? Them?
In all seriousness, unless you’re an absolute basket-case of a club on the sort of slide that saw Hibs go down (or us, to be fair) then the Premiership side is always going to be a massive favourite for the playoff no matter who they go up against. I think we’re maybe in a slightly better position than we have been, and we’re running out of comical ways to botch the playoffs, but I still wouldn’t fancy us.
EDIT: And of course this is assuming we even make it to the final, it would be a new one for us to finish relatively comfortably in second, sustain even a weak title challenge, then get papped out by the side that wins the 3rd/4th tie.
This will leave only 2 clubs to have never been relegated from the top flight of Scottish football if they go down this year.
The Terry Butcher Season. Just one win . . . . just one win . . .
I think we’ll, somehow, avoid the playoff. Wonder when our latest loser manager will get sacked
Aberdeen using the monkey paw last season like Spurs and facing the consequences
Definitely beating Hibs Tomorrow so no need to worry nope not at all
They have actually been relegated they just didn’t go down because Falkirk (if I remember) didn’t have the money at the time to meet new stadium standards.
I mean, it’s true, it would be very very funny is Scottish cup winners Aberdeen got relegated.
Is this post a fucking ad? 😭
Only been to Pittodrie once & that was for Berti’s first game. So from selfish point of view would like them relegated so could go to Pittodrie & tick it off my stadium list for Morton games. For some reason we only ever seem to draw Aberdeen at Cappielow every 10 years or so. Same with Hearts have barely played Hearts to merit an away day to Tynecastle.
New rule: newly promoted teams must have 12,000 seats to play in the Premiership.
It worked last time!
