Jim Goodwin salutes Aberdeen bumper Dundee United away crowd that keeps on rising despite obstacles

Jim Goodwin has been left speechless at the "incredible" Aberdeen support with the Red Army set to travel in large numbers once again this weekend when the Dons visit Dundee United. Over 3500 tickets have been snapped up with four days of sales to go.

There is a UK-wide train strike and with a rare 6pm kick-off time, meaning there is no way back to the Granite City by rail with buses already packed to the rafters. But despite that almost four thousand fans are set to pack out the away end with the Dons being granted both the Shed End and the Jim McLean Fair Play Stand for the Scottish Premiership clash.

Aberdeen go into the game on a high after easing past Kilmarnock on Saturday while United have yet win any of their opening eight league games and sit at the foot of the table. And Goodwin reckons the sheer number of fans travelling down to Tannadice is giving him a taste of something he's never witnessed before in his career as they approach selling out their bumper allocation.
