Close to the pitch. Just marvellous. looks pretty shite to me , all uneven but does make you wonder why we can't do similar or better than that at Pittodrie Link to comment

CityCentre Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Before the new stadium can we please cover at least one of the pitches so we can train 365 days a year without snow or rain. Link to comment

Always surprised me we didn’t have an indoor pitch too at Cormack Park, given the shite weather potentially in winter - maybe too expensive. Link to comment

It was in the phase 2 plans at one point I think to cover one of the Training pitches. Personally i would just move them to an artificial pitch for training when it snows. We used to have to play in the goals leagues in all sorts of crazy weather, games were never off. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I'm sure it is planned for the future. Stage 3 I think they were referring it to as Link to comment

What next, small umbrella hats so their mascara doesn't run? Earplugs incase a coach shouts 'useless cunt'? Absolutely embarrassing how pampered the modern footballer is, even at our level. 1 1 Link to comment

The whole site is still work in progress by the looks of it, still huge tracks of land within the site boundaries that remain untouched. Maybe they thought the Westhill Lizzies would have really shat their y fronts if a tin shed appeared on the planning application but if you look at the eastern edge of the site, that looks to be where an indoor facility could be built, and as already mentioned, maybe part of phase 3, after/if the stadium gets built? i notice another drive though is being built adjacent to McDonalds over the road in Arnhall, is that a Starbucks?

Dunty Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The quote is from Marie Boulton, who was one of the few on the council who voted against Kingsford, and appears to be just clutching at straws. Link to comment
redstrummer Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 All these projects never seem to get done all just talk . They need to crack on with all these plans and get the economy moving in the city , post covid Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I’d doubt it. AFC already bought all the land for the new stadium, and I think I’m right in saying already completed some of the drainage works at the same time the training facilities were done. Complete waste of money if they decide not to move now. If the council/government want to pay the additional costs associated with staying where we are and redeveloping pittodrie to the same standard as a brand new stadium elsewhere, then I’m sure everyone would be all for that.

Aberdeen council should be looking to do everything they can to keep the stadium in the city.They own most of the land beside Pittodrie and should be bending over backwards to come to a compromise.This is vital to many businesses such as pubs,golf clubs.chippers,bakers etc . If the stadium goes to Kingswells most people will just be heading there and then home.Same with away supporters. Link to comment
