NEM Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Having spoken to players that have trained at Cormack Park today, I can confirm that NEM is havering pish. Next time you speak to them tell them some proper S&C equipment might prevent them being rag dolled like a bunch of wee fannies next time we play the tims 4 1 Link to comment

Dunty Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 They mentioned that it will save time and money from having to use mini buses to and from wherever they are training. How will that change from what they are doing now? I assume players come to Pittodrie and they go to the training from there. Will the players now just go straight to the training grounds? Why don't they do that already?Because not only is their changing room there and where they keep all their kit, boots etc. They also do their video analysis, have dinner, etc at the stadium. They'll do all that at Cormack Park now. Link to comment
Dunty Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Videos of the players training at Cormack Park today - yes, including the gym - on Aberdeen's Instagram. Appears most of them arrived by bus. Presumably the car park isn't finished, which will be why they don't move permanently until after the international break. Link to comment

RUL Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Youth teams are training/playing games at Cormack Park as of Monday so assuming car park is going to be ready for Monday. Link to comment
minijc Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 The gym should be twice as big as it is and have much more equipment, as others have said it's fairly basic. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Youth teams are training/playing games at Cormack Park as of Monday so assuming car park is going to be ready for Monday.Not many of the youth players will have cars to park Link to comment
Rostov-on-Don Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Think some folk here are expecting us to be opening a Bannatynes franchise. The gym is servicing about 40 players all in ffsThat thing looks half the size and worse than the weights section at the Village which can barely cope with 10 people in at the same time. There's also all sorts of circuit training equipment and areas these days and I can't see where the cardio machines are or are going for AFCCT and them. People saying there will be stuff in the stadium which is 3.5 years away? 1 2 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 The gym should be twice as big as it is and have much more equipment, as others have said it's fairly basic.Is it not better to have players on the pitch rather than the gym though? It looks like a good facility. Five pitches is more than enough. Whether it was value for money I'll never know, the price of construction is through the roof these days. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Punchbag, reverse hyper machine, versaclimbers, rogue recho bikes however the wattbikes are very good, I'd also go as far to say they should've had some more stuff for recovery there, cryochamber for example.Why does a footballer need a punchbag?

Rostov-on-Don Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Laughable this is a thing but anyone who has ever used a gym with people in it can tell the fucking size and lack of cardio/weight/circuit equipment or multiples of equipment in that. Get over it. 1 Link to comment
minijc Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Why? Have you seen other teams gyms?Why? Well bcause if you're making a purpose built complex surely it makes sense to go big on everything, leave no stone unturned but it's typical of Aberdeen FC to just do enough and the gullible fans will lap it up. Nope not seen other teams gyms, well not them all. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 You can only look at this positively. Proper facilities that we've been screaming for for decades. We moan when they fuck shit up, we should be just as ready to applaud when they get things right. 2 Link to comment

Nope not seen other teams gyms, well not them all.Would the people designing what equipment is needed not know better than folk on here? We've spent 12 million on this facility. I doubt we'd not spend a bit more on the likes of a fucking punch bag if it was needed. If there was shortcuts to be taken it would be on the pitches. 1 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I'd rather a full size pitch and a smallish gym than a full size gym and an undersized pitch. We're developing footballers, not body builders Link to comment
minijc Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It's unbelievable. I'm sure they'd have space to hang a fucking punchbag if they thought it necessary.That's the thing, they don't think, easy options all the time for the famous Aberdons. Link to comment
