There was a couple of tentative clashes during their preliminary encounters of the 1984/85 season around a game postponed due to inclement weather and its mid-week replay and the CCS even attempted to take on the ASC at other matches where Hibernian were not Aberdeen's opponents. Aberdeen were due to play Raith Rovers in a Scottish Cup match at Starks Park in February 1985. the CCS then took the somewhat foolhardy decision, considering the difference in experience and sizes of the two mobs, to attend. Their plan was to enter the ground and try to launch a surprise attack on the ASC though this was foiled when the Aberdeen boys spotted them as they made their way to the game and subsequently it was the Hibs casuals who were attacked on the terracing, After being escorted away and onto the train by the police the Hibs boys Parthian shot of the day was to pull the emergency cord as the train was about to pass the stadium and then launch bottles onto the Aberdeen mob still watching the game.
