Yeh I meant holiday inn. Function room holds 300. A 20 minute walk from ground.

Just hope there's no weddings on there.

Weddings etc are usually in the evening , plenty time for a clean up once they've kicked the dons fans out at 2.30

Wedding season is summer. In summer we'll be outside. This is the winter fanzone in November onwards.

 

I've got it all in hand, trust me.

Club should have invested in a hotel long ago & taken advantage of the need for accommodation because of the oil industry in the past.

Aberdeen has always been praised for the hospitality packages at Pittodrie & the money made from it but if they added accommodations to it they could have made even more I'm sure. Football/hospitality on weekends & oil industry would keep it full through the week.

 

Killie may be a tin pot club but they would have gone bust years ago if not for their hotel.

[Scotty_Toronto]

1m new investment in training facility. It will be called the Bobby Clark academy.

 

First player I ever met.

Sold it a while ago didn't they?

Sold it to billy Bowie to help clear debt. Despite it being profit making, the debt accrued by building the hotel was too much for the club.

Now playing for Hamilton I believe

[StandFree1982]

They could have a wee creche for children and DNA members. With dedicated staff to wipe away any tears and snot spluttering out from the latter.

I'm glad you put the name in bold or else I wouldn't have had a clue what player you were on about!

He still talks about that day I'm told

[dave_min]

Drove past Kingsford earlier.

 

Still looks like a field.

[TheRock]

A football field?

And will continue to look so after the training facility is complete.

 

Cannot deny that there has been a helluva lot of eath shifted around, these last 3 months. Even where the stadium will be, at the south west corner, massive mound appeared between there and Lawsondale earlier this week.

I’ve played on worse.

[CityCentre]

Yeah agreed, loads of work done so far, a large part of the site now flattened ready for the start of the work on the first pitches.

Was at Atlético Madrid's stadium on Friday.

 

Decent gaff. Has 1903 on everything which was a nice touch.

 

Has two fanzones - one for kids. Loads of food vans all parked around the stadium (all sadly closed since it wasn't a match day), but you can see it's all geared towards fans just hanging around outside before a match - has toilets attached to the stadium that you can access from the outside too which Aberdeen may want to consider if they're planning a fanzone - better than planting portaloos all over the place.

 

Has an underground stop but from where I was coming from (just four miles away) the metro didn't stretch out there so was 45 minutes by public transport (took a taxi, 10 mins).

 

Nothing near it. You could walk for 10 mins into a housing estate, but don't think there was much to do there in the way of bars or takeaways. I'd argue there's actually more surrounding Kingsford than that place.

I would imagine that the Madrid climate is probably more suited to fan zones than Aberdeen?

Dunno, the Christmas markets in Edinburgh are busy as fuck

It's far too good for those gypsy cunts.

I would imagine comparing the infrastructure in the 5th biggest city in Europe to the 3rd biggest in Scotland would be a meaningless endeavour?

Liking the sound of this underground

It's a monorail we're going for. Cannot fucking wait.
