ABERDEEN have today pledged to create an official singing section at Pittodrie after the results of a supporter’s survey showed 90% of fans back the idea.

The Dons will introduce a singing section in Section X of the South Stand for the 2015/16 season.

An unofficial signing section had been created in the Richard Donald Upper stand in the past three home games.

The move follows the findings of a survey completed by more than 2,200 fans.

The survey revealed that 90% of respondents said they would like to see a designated area of the stadium set aside as a singing section, with 61% of respondents said that they would be interested in sitting in an area of the ground designated as a singing section.

Two thirds of the respondents who indicated that they would be willing to sit in a singing section prefer to sit in the South Stand on a matchday.

A club statement read: “We believe that Section X is ideally situated due to its proximity to the pitch, the fact it is covered and also that it’s in a highly populated area of the stadium.

“The removal of the segregation fence between sections T & V in the South Stand will also bring supporters closer together next season.

“We hope that this will make it easier for the vocal support created by Section X to spread throughout the stadium.

“Every supporter that currently holds a season ticket in Section X will be notified of our intentions and offered alternative seating for next season should they not wish to sit in the singing section.”
