Why not 5,500?

Because there's only space for 1500 less than that.......

Why aren't they thanking the council and club?

You'd have thought they'd realise something wasn't going to go their way if the council and club aren't opposing them on this? AFC won't want to appear to be the bad guys when they fail by making the "locals" lose more money

Hopefully the natives turn on those who have spunked their cash on a lost cause.

 

Many of them are so fucking stupid however that they'll probably continue to gush praise for their three "champions" despite the fact they've lost almost £70k of their money.

A lot will lose interest soon and it'll be left with a small group of hardline nutters.

I'm faux offended

Dave Cormack confirmed this two weeks ago at the 'discussion'.

 

The aim now for fans should be that this isn't a token gesture and that it is 4,000 behind the goals - time to lead the way again.

 

It will be at least an entire stand behind the goals. There are new guidelines being published for safe standing which will apparently allow for the 1.8 to a rail seat model. Hopefully we use that, can get 5000 in if we wanted to and have cheap tickets.

[RUL]

I genuinely can't see Aberdeen offering cheaper tickets for that area, if anything they'd probably charge more.

Can you link us up to these new guidelines please?

I've missed and can't find any mention of the club repeatedly saying an indoor pitch will come later. I guess it therefore must have been said at private events hence the question - who and when.

 

I've had amnesia if I ever said or thought there won't be safe standing. There will be at least behind the goals.

 

It doesn't have to be connected, but it makes all sorts of logistical sense to do so for the same reasons as having the stadium and training ground together. Hardly needs explaining but players at any age group would rather stay and practice in an indoor facility than averagely shite Aberdeen weather.

Players play their games outdoors, not indoors. You use an indoor facility when you can't use the outdoor pitch. Otherwise, they're training to play.

 

Even so, Aberdeen are planning an indoor facility, so continuing to post reasons why they should build one is wasting your time. However, it's not a priority, which is why it can come later. Even the reasons you've posted sound more like "be nice to have" rather than "essential".

Sod that. If I'm buying a season ticket for that section im not sharing it with some other flange.

 

Should be at least 30-40% of the stadium capacity safe standing.

Know what you mean but hopefully they understand pricing systems better by then, and they have a clean slate.

 

This is Dresden's system.

Don't know if they're published yet, it was all those safe standing roadshow accounts on twitter that said it.

If I say black you'll say white. It's getting very odd.

 

You don't share anything, it's 2 rows between each rail. Like a terrace but with 2 rows instead of 3. 

 

[Poodler]

So their vanity trip is paid for by the tax payer?

 

Sums up the arrogance and narcissism of this group of morons.

Saw that this morning, does look like more machinery at the site now but still some ground works going on.

 

Would expect to see some temporary offices being erected if Morrison Construction were moving on site.

[RUL]

Unlikely.

 

3 years ago I was cutting about in my beloved 500. No danger of blowing anybody in her.

 

I need to nip to the shops after work, so won’t be passing tonight. Will post an update in the morning.
