New Stadium Approved

[Poodler]

P&J Live is going to be a shambles and it has a train station within walking distance....... but Kingsford will be fine.

Within walking distance of the fit and able.

 

And there's one train after 2130, at 2327 or something, so it'll be far from convenient for gigs

[redstrummer]

Signage up at entrance now and AFC flags all over the lamp posts.

 

Does look a bit strange with a massive muddy field next to it though, looks unfinished, which, of course, it is.

 

Just drove past , looks smart with the Aberdeen badge at the entrance

I see that No Kingsford Stadium Ltd has today filed an application at Companies House to have the company struck off.

 

Spunked circa £70k on a wasted exercise just to satisfy a few NIMBYS.

NKS Ltd accounts for the period ended 30th June 2019 now available to view on the Companies House website, albeit abridged accounts and not the full version.

 

What can be gleaned from the figures is as follows:

 

As at 30th June 2018 the company had a negative Balance Sheet of £3,861

 

Results for the year ended 30th June 2019 were:

 

Turnover was £67,840

 

Rechargeable costs were £63,975 plus "other charges" (likely bank charges) of £4.

 

This results in a Net Profit of £3,861

 

Surprise, surprise, the profit this year miraculously wipes out the brought forward negative Balance Sheet to the penny resulting in the Balance Sheet as at 30th June 2019 being exactly Nil.

 

Amazing how they can manage to wipe out the negative Balance Sheet to the very penny!

 

So NKS Ltd is not due money to any Creditor thus allowing the Strike Off application to proceed unchallenged.

 

Bottom line though is that the amount spunked in this exercise totalled £68,340 (£500 in the 2018 accounting year and £67,840 in the 2019 accounting year).

 

What a fucking waste of cash.

I concur, it'll be shit but its got better transport links than Kingsford.

A crazy sum of money for something that never stood any chance of winning

[Bebo]

Not the clearest picture, but most recent online i could see.

[RUL]

Leighton got final pitch ?

 

Weird simmy wasn’t in top 6

Clearly in the city.

The plans show just five pitches. There's a goalkeeping area - maybe that's getting named after Leighton.

 

Dunty called it.

[Chewie37]

Is it a public thing with Alex Ferguson tomorrow ?

Can’t see anything about if it’s invite only or if fans can just rock up?

Absolute bottle job there. Probably rigged the vote to appease the Orcs. Disgrace if he’s not recognised by the club in some way

The away fans will have to be in the Simmie Stand someone with money should make this happen @@Millertime

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Does he deserve it more than, say, Kennedy, McMaster, Weir etc? And that’s not to mention those not of the 80s vintage.

 

Or perhaps you just want the confrontation?

[Frank Grimes]

Enough negativity on here these days, probably again tonight whatever the result at Hamilton, so Credit where it’s due - well done to the club on the Training Ground and looking forward to hearing about the opening tomorrow

How is it a bottle job?

Perhaps he's not a popular with the masses as you believe and he simply hasn't gotten enough votes.

[DelMonte]

Yup that's nonsense. Mcleish would have a strong case over him.

[aberdeen1970]

Leighton more than deserving of it.

As long as he doesn't leave it trashed after he uses it.

[Lang Bar]

Shout out for a statue of Martin Buchan lifting the cup in 1970.

For folk my age that cup win was massive.

Martin Buchan was a local loon and if I remember correctly, was the youngest captain ever to lift the cup.

Buchan oozed class.

Correct about Buchan but statue still has to be Willie holding aloft the CWC.

Being streamed on YouTube and red tv.

I think its important the pre-80s years are not forgotten, too many people think football started in the 90s as it is.

 

We have a lot of history to commemorate.

 

Of course the zenith is that moment in 83.

[RUL]

Hopefully a great day for club tomorrow.

We could have a statue for each decade of the club's history

 

2000 to 2010 will be a struggle. Maybe Pele peeking out of the boot of a car.

[Kiriakov33]

Opening will be streamed live tomorrow on you tube

Time?

[RUL]

1pm

[RUL]

There’s going to be tours and a community day organised too for those who want to have a look.

[Dunty]

According to a girl who was at the meeting...

 

Safe standing costs three times as much as normal seating does, which means to incorporate it they may have to cut capacity. They also think this will help stadium be full more often.

 

Cormack asked those at meeting whether they would prefer 17,000 - 18,000 capacity but with standing, or 20,000 without. They all voted for the smaller capacity.

 

Can't make the stadium higher due to height restrictions imposed on them, which also means they can't make it very steep.

 

Considering making the supporters bar the length of the north stand. Been impressed by what they saw at Tottenham. Access by membership or extra on ticket price.

 

Also considering indoor fanzone.

[maryhilldon]

Ridiculous that there's a hight restriction in the middle of nowhere. What difference does a few metres make? And I'm failing to see how safe standing would lead to a reduced capacity?
