After an incredibly successful first weekend of “Sign for the Dons”, we can announce that the next two ‘Signing’ days will take place on Saturday 16th October and Wednesday 20th October.
As part of the FREE AberDNA Junior Membership for Under 12s, over 500 young Dons fans were given a truly memorable experience as they were invited to Pittodrie to officially ‘sign their contract’ and be unveiled as AFC’s latest signing in September.
AberDNA Junior Members who missed out last time can book their slot for this exciting experience here.
‘Sign for the Dons’ Days
AberDNA Junior members will experience unbelievable behind-the-scenes access as they are given a tour around the famous Pittodrie Stadium.
Members will get the opportunity to emulate their heroes by officially ‘signing their contract’, giving a RedTV interview and walking out of the tunnel at Pittodrie.
The next opportunities to ‘Sign for the Dons’ will be Saturday 16th October and Wednesday 20th October during both the Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire school holidays.
Tours will run every 10 minutes and last for around 30 minutes. The first tour will start at 9.30am and the last at 4.30pm on both days.
Please note that the event must be booked through the account of the AberDNA Junior Member. Each member must bring 1 parent or guardian with them on the tour.

Fan Engagement
Dons’ player, and AberDNA Junior Ambassador, Dean Campbell knows exactly what it feels like to sign for your boyhood team.
“As a Dons supporter I’ve been fortunate to make my dream come true by playing for the team I grew up watching. I know what it feels like to sign your first contract, to pull on the Dons shirt and play at Pittodrie for the first time so I’ve no doubt our young AberDNA Junior members will be thrilled with the Club’s ‘Sign for the Dons’ event”.
“Having missed out on so much football action in the last year it will be great to finally welcome them to Pittodrie and make them really feel part of the AFC family.”
AFC commercial director, Rob Wicks, believes this U12 membership is nurturing the fans of the future. “Fan engagement is critical and in order to foster the fans of the future, win back a lost generation of fans, and improve the relationship with existing supporters, we must reward them through pioneering initiatives, a better matchday experience and ultimately a renewed sense of passion, belief and pride in our Club. AberDNA Junior is a big part of achieving this.”
“Our aim to be at the heart of our community, with a growing fan base, begins with our young people. Every Dons supporter remembers their first match and we want to give every child in the region the opportunity to have this experience and to be able to access top‐flight football.
We are committed to introducing exciting new initiatives to recapture the imagination within the community and that’s why we’ve set the ambitious target of reaching 15,000 season tickets in the next four seasons!
