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.
