As the Club eagerly anticipates a return to Hampden for the Viaplay League Cup Semi Final match against Rangers on Sunday 15^th January 2023, it has been confirmed there will be planned rail maintenance works on the Aberdeen to Dundee route which may impact on supporters travel plans.

Working alongside our colleagues at the SPFL, the Club immediately reached out to Network Rail to try to find a satisfactory outcome which would minimise disruption for Dons fans however, we have been advised these engineering works have been scheduled since September 2021 and at the time they were unaware Semi Final matches would be played at Hampden on this particular weekend in January. The Club also had a letter submitted to Network Rail by six local politicians to move the date of the planned work, but the request was declined, citing that these are essential maintenance works and moving them could create a risk to the infrastructure on that route, whilst also significantly disrupting a multi-million-pound investment in the railway.

Replacement buses are scheduled to run between Aberdeen and Dundee on the day, but we would therefore encourage all supporters travelling to Hampden to plan their route well in advance to help ensure the Red Army is there is big numbers to back the team.

Aberdeen supporters will have access of up to 20,000 tickets and the sales process, with phases and on sale dates, will be announced tomorrow.
