Joe pike Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Building the stadium at the beach opens up other revenue streams. We could include 2 or 3 shops on the boulevard site which could be open 7 days a week as cafes,takeaways,restaurants ,sports goods etc. Even a pub which is sadly lacking down there. 1 Link to comment
super_al Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 If the council contributed such a large portion of funds, how much input into the stadium design would Aberdeen FC get? Link to comment
Poodler Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 It would have a big picture of Barney Crockett on the front giving the V's to the public probably better viewing than watching that disgusting fraud Ash Taylor play though. 1 Link to comment

A brothel would only abstract punters away from our matchday crowds Just stick a kiddies playground on it. The only person being abstracted away would be @Dad Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 4 hours ago, Betty Swallicks said: The fact remains that there is no appetite to move to Kingsford with that poll showing 6 times as many people would prefer the beach site (despite obvious concerns re the plausability of that) and 3 times as many people would prefer a revamped Pittodrie. Now the AWPR is up and running the folly of having it out there is clear to anyone who uses that road. Horrific tailbacks at that junction, not enough parking (a fleet of shuttle buses idea is just bonkers), and fuck all round about. The tailbacks aren't horrendous at all. If anything it's far better now the lights gave been installed. 1 1 Link to comment

Taking it with a huge pinch of salt , especially the retractable roof bit . Just hope there's some truth to this If the council are heavily involved - just expect them to fuck it up somehow. Plus - the mention of ‘multisport’ gives me the fear of a permanent running track around the pitch... Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 We've got a running track 5 minutes away at the sports Village so hopefully no need. Link to comment
graham Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 We will be at Pittodrie for the forseeable future.Westhill an excellent out of town training ground and facilities. A 20,000 stadium on the same site was utterly delusional. 1 Link to comment
eddiec Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 totally agree Ernie, I'd rather stay in the city centre but the council have know all this for years and not helped in any way so lets just crack on with Kingsford As for the old ACC forget that its right next to where i live and what excuse will i have to leave for the bowling club at 12:00 if its next door!!! 1 Link to comment

Tord31 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 To be fair to the Council that was hardly a site before the hotel went bust. Great location but I have my doubts if it is big enough 1 Link to comment
