Reasons To Adopt
Aberdeen U21 work as a second team because they come with their own geography: Scotland, Pittodrie Stadium, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.
Deep roots
Founded in 1881, Aberdeen U21 were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 145 years of accumulated grudges.
Nothing won, everything to play for
The trophy cabinet is a shelf and a rumour. Supporting Aberdeen U21 is a bet on a first, not a return to former glories.
Close to the pitch
Pittodrie Stadium holds about 19,274. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
You get a nickname
Known as The Dons The Dandies The Reds. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
