AberDNA | Founding Member Deadline Extended

Author AFC Media Team

Deadline extended until Monday 21st May

Since launching the AberDNA membership initiative in March, 3400 Dons supporters have signed-up as Founding Members and will receive an exclusive souvenir pack ahead of the 2018/19 season along with recognition in the tunnel area here at Pittodrie.

Derek McInnes has placed on record his thanks to the supporters who have signed-up already and Commercial Director, Rob Wicks followed suit by saying, “The response from the supporters has been overwhelmingly positive. Since I have arrived this has been a key project for us all to try and drive support for the football operation so it’s terrific to see the reaction that we have had from fans the world over.”

The good news for Dons supporters who have not yet signed-up is that the Founding Member window has been extended until Monday 21st May as a courtesy for supporters who have not yet been contacted. The extension will enable supporters who sign-up before the extended deadline to receive the exclusive souvenir pack and gain recognition in the tunnel area when it is revamped over the close season.

Commenting on the decision to extend the deadline Rob said, “Through the newly appointed Supporter Engagement Team (SET) we have been able to contact several thousand supporters. They have not yet been able to contact everyone, particularly supporters abroad and the deadline extension will enable that process to continue for a little while longer.

“Many of the supporters we have contacted have not heard from the club for quite some time and regardless of whether they have signed up for AberDNA or not it has been useful to receive feedback and re-establish dialogue with them.

“We want AberDNA to be something that continues for many years to come and given the backing we have had so far, it seems like the right thing to do to extend the deadline for a few weeks and give every supporter a chance to be part of this exciting initiative from the start.”
