European football reacts to Aberdeen season ticket video as fans make 'fly to Scotland' pledge

A promotional video for Aberdeen 's season ticket campaign has gone viral, as they offer fans the chance to return to Pittodrie.

Supporters have been locked out of grounds around the world this season due to the coronavirus pandemic.

And a video from the Dons clearly resonated with many as it went viral on Twitter.

Featuring a reworking of 'The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen', the video features fans on their way to the match.

Aberdeen have frozen ticket prices for this season and are offering interest-free options for fans who renew.

Chairman Dave Cormack said: "We’ve stated that our aspiration is to reach 15,000 season ticket holders. That may seem like a tall order given historic numbers, but we believe with your support we can get there.  It’s going to take all of us to do it.

"No-one is taking any money out the Club. 100% of our income goes to the success of the team. Our ask is this… persuade a relative or friend to join you and us as a season ticket holder at our home in Aberdeen this coming season.

"Let’s do this together, relishing the challenge ahead of us and looking forward to welcoming each other back to our home at Pittodrie.

"Stand Free!"

But it was the clip that went with the announcement that had people getting emotional.

The tearjerking video didn't just leave Aberdeen fans with a tear in the eye, with fans from as far afield as Sweden, Germany and Japan sharing their reaction.

Check out some of the responses from around the world below.

@kydetwsoc: F*** the Super League, this is soccer

@mikeglasscott: if anyone doesn't understand "the football" that's ok. this will probably help if they don't

@anthonyashton: I’m ashamed that I didn’t know how beautiful the setting is around Pittodrie. I think I want to. Bet it rivals the old Roker Park for being absolutely baltic

@dennisZZZsport: Check this out. Cold sweat on my face

@juliancw: I like these kind of promo movies

@doingthe116: Nice video by Aberdeen

@mitchy_nil_bags: It's been 10 years and it's changed a lot from when I lived there, but there's no video that makes me want to go back more

@masi_76: What a nice video. Now I have a lot of stadium pain and miss the Alm (Arminia Bielefeld's stadium) even more than usual.

@eva_bohle: Will someone fly to Scotland with me?

@edinbajram: As soon as the pandemic is over, I will fly to the north of Scotland for Aberdeen against Rangers
