The club’s greatest achievement was the trip to Gothenburg for the European Cup Winners Cup final in 1983 when the Dons bet the mighty Real Madrid, the club had chartered an aircraft, organised by Brian Kemp, the local British Airways manager, direct from Kirkwall to Gothenburg, 48 supporters made the trip at £130 per head. They drank the plane dry on the way over, danced in the rain as Aberdeen lifted the cup and arrived back in Kirkwall at 2.30 am, the first Dons supporters in the country to make it back home. The Club’s largest membership was in the late 1980’s when the total was 527 Aberdeen F.C’s largest supporters club
