Today P5/6 had an amazing experience when we went to Pittodrie Stadium Tour as part of our learning about football from Red Start who are a football based initiative part of Aberdeen FC Community project.
We found out about how different part of the football organisation is run and also visited different areas within the ground. We visited the home changing room, bumping into Jayden Stockley.
We went into the boot room. It was really smelly!
We headed down to pitch side where we learned the names of the 4 stands:
- Merkland Stand
- Main Stand
- South Stand
- Richard Donald Stand
We got to sit in the dug out, hoping to make the team.
We got involved in one of the clubs other community project which helps the older generation stay fit and healthy. The ladies and gentlemen were very happy to show the pupils how to use the various machines.
Our guide Alex told us many stories about ‘The Greatest Ever Aberdeen FC Team, managed by Sir Alex Ferguson.
In the Press Room, Aberdeen FC got a new manager, sacked him and brought in a new one in a matter of minutes. They were quickly put under the spot light, with many questions being asked.
They also recruited a star signing. The expectations of this star were high.
“What do you think you could bring to the club”
Lots of fun was had by all. Many are hoping to go to the Aberdeen FC v Ross County Match this weekend.
More pictures of the day to follow.
