New Stadium Approved

Seeing it like that, its massive!

That's what she said

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Yeah, you can see the city in the distance

Now I’m a bit slow on the whole sarcasm front but that comments not being made from a geography and landscape perspective is it?

Swung the drone up by Kingsford after I got rumbled looking at folk sun bathing in their Backies...

 

Surely to godwe will try and buy that house with the significant bit of land at the top right of the complex, looks so stupid

Ideal house for a pop up pub.

The house and the land are a total mess, unkempt and run-down, doesn't look great next to our new complex.

Once all the planting is done you won't see the house from the complex due to all the trees and no doubt fencing will be erected too.

You can't force someone to sell up. We'd have to drag people through court for that process I'd imagine.

Goes completely against the 'good neighbour' mantra the club are trying to promote.

They could make them an offer for the land/house, maybe they have.

I'm sure that was explored, and also with the other properties adjacent. But like i said, you can't force someone to sell.

[Panda]

The clever thing for anyone with land out there is to wait until the stadium is built, and then if/when either the club wanted to expand, other developers wanted to build things that would benefit from being close to the stadium, or the council wanted somewhere to put their monorail station, then the price will sour.

They'll get fed up with Stevie May kicking footballs into their garden soon enough.

[Macski]

then the price will sour.

No need to be bitter?

Brilliant pic

Aye massive.

 

 

And in the middle of fucking nowhere.

[Dom Sullivan]

Aye massive.

 

 

And in the middle of fucking nowhere.

Not according to the NIMBYs.

 

It's right on their doorstep and they won't get to the cinema on a Saturday afternoon because of it, emergency services won't get through to Westhill and people will DIE!

 

People should stop greeting about the location.

 

It's going ahead, dry your eyes.

Hopefully the Milne loving happy clappers cheerleading us into the countryside are first in line

Who does that pitch belong to in thr bottom left?

It’s Westdyke who use the pitch. It’s just round the corner from me. It’s a cracking pitch that’s for sure.

One of the houses to the far left of the site have already sold their house. So if people are wanting to sell them they will. Maybe the folk who live there are Dandies

I think this house belongs to the gadgie who owned the land. Might have imagined reading that somewhere though

I like this bit:

 

Initially when the Kingsford plans were unveiled in 2016 the stadium was estimated at a cost of £40m.

But by spending more on the ground Cormack, who has visited a number of recently-built stadiums with commercial director Rob Wicks for research, believes it can be more beneficial to the Dons in the long term.

He said: “When you research other stadium builds you end up asking ‘if you spend £40m how much extra revenue can you generate?’

“The answer might be a £1m, but what if you spend £50m? We think if we do spend that we can generate an extra £3m-£5m in turnover per year.

 

Suggests we may not get a bigger version of a tinpot St. Johnstone or St. Mirren style ground as many have feared.

Hope the cunts mean it.

[OnceFaeMintlaw]

I love that guy

 

Were also going to end up with a belter of a stadium

 

This club really is about to go through a sonic boom with regards to transformation

 

you betcha!

That is the exact kind of attitude this club has been missing for decades.

[V for Vendetta]

Are the stands tunnelled into the hillside? Cool!!

[V for Vendetta]

They could well be.

The bars deep in the caves would be cool as fuck.

[Don Fonte]

Aye no bad son - the usual tumours / mary jane / Sonos pish as always haha

 

Do me a favour and confirm to all the doubters you WERENT in a dungeon or whatever bollocks they are insinuating

Confirmation doesn't seem to be incoming. Awkward.

[Chewie37]

An effort of mine for the new ground. Only two stands. The Dons Stand and The Fucking Yasss! Stand.  Punters enter via two approach paths and pay whatever they like by flinging money into a skip. 

 

 

Whys that cunt on the left got a man bun? Fucking hipsters

[aberdeen1970]

The other guy is pissing in the money skip

[Chewie37]

The other guy is pissing in the money skip

For these two reasons, I’m out, other than the terrible fan base it’s aimed at.....nice design Soopz

Can people not turn this thread into utter pish, like every other one.

Depends what you consider pish, I personally find you posting 100+ pictures of JCB diggers and timber frame buildings pish however each to their own.

Harsh on CityCentre.  He does a better job of keeping us up to date with the progress of the build than the club do.
