Taking it with a huge pinch of salt , especially the retractable roof bit . Just hope there's some truth to this Well let’s hope they build a tunnel from the proposed new stadium to flush out Mcinnes. And some of the dross he signed. Link to comment

starryfish Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Cormack confirms that the club are exploring the potential new site near the beach. Pity it has taken a pandemic but good news. 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
strachanmcgheegoal Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Surely big enough. I thought the issue was foundation, and the more of the golf course you look toward, level. Link to comment

It takes in the hotel grounds ,the links where the circus normally sets up,they said they are willing to move the transition climbing centre as well. Also I presume the kids swings and chute at the front would be moved as well. Link to comment

I still think it will be tight and will require bannermill flats to be blocked of sun light. 1 Link to comment
shut up meg Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The road could always be built over, removed completely or redirected. There's plenty of room if you include the area next to Codona's. Link to comment

There would be objections from residents in banermill and constitution street with a stadium on their doorstep, it would drag on like kings ford. Link to comment

Wester Hailes Skins Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 FWIW make sure fans are involved in the design, inside and out. We left ours to an architect who specialises in extensions, an old woman, and her brother, who supports our biggest rivals. Surprisingly it was somewhat of a fuck up. Some fans say it's all about the team on the park, who cares about the stadium. But players are here for 2 seasons. The stadium for a lot longer. Seat designs. Jumbo scoreboards. Statues. Corporate facilities. Bars. Changing rooms. Dugout designs. All matter and in my experience fans know best. Not suits. Link to comment
