New Stadium Approved

[fine-n-dandy]

Cheers.

 

Yes agreed, and they are also being viewed by quite a distance away.

Well you are looking from the city centre perspective

Fucking Clowns? Never heard it, is that with Linkin Park?

I went to Costco via the new road this week, from the middle of town on a quiet night, took fucking forever, the site just isn't right, won't work.

Try getting out of awpr onto south kingswells big roundabout at rush hour and that is before whole bypass open nevermind a football crowd

 

No lights at that roundabout at all

[The Cockney Don]

Bristol City v Wolves this afternoon on BT Sport, chance for us to look at Ashton Gate, from which large parts of the plans for our new stadium have been taken.

 

Hope the TV cameras aren't up that high though.

You went to Costco Westhill from the centre of town, and took the AWPR?

 

Why would you do that?

[BWG]

Went to Kingsford via Inverness. Took a fucking age. What are they thinking?

I mentioned this to someone about a month ago. That exit onto the roundabout is an accident waiting to happen. To many people getting impatient and pulling out onto the roundabout far to close to oncoming traffic. Also going round the roundabout after eciting the ramp from the left hand lane which is supposed to be left turn only.

Need part time lights installed on that roundabout like the have eastwards at Kingswells.

Neither should there be.

 

That’s the whole point of roundabouts. The one at the airport turn off boils my piss. Lights there when there is no need. Maybe have a set on from 7.30-9am and 4.30-6pm but otherwise it’s just unnecessary stopping of traffic on a quiet road.

Timber framed structure. Cheap cunts.

 

Milne clearly never got the three little pigs read to him

They've been a right cunt of that roundabout , should have been done right with flyovers and slip roads

Probably in keeping with their 'Green' philosophy with regards to the training complex.

I hope they don't opt for that awful "green" timber cladding that Tesco were quite fond of for a while. Looks like complete shit after a couple of years of weathering.

[King Street Loon]

I've heard that they aren't going to be reliant on mains water.

A lot of the water that will be used will be collected naturally and utilised.

Ken someone who works for Scottish Water and it was mentioned.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

See. We do have a pot to piss in!

Use they roundabout every rush hour, coming from the south of the city. Never had an issue??

 

Obviously a football stadium is going to increase volume but that roundabout is currently fine IMO

Coming from south onto the Westhill road isn't an issue, coming from the north is at rush hour.

I still think the footprint for the pavilion or whatever they are calling it is fucking tiny.

Going by the plans Sheddocksley sports centre isn't far off it in size.

the pavilion doesn’t have games halls or anything like that though. It just has changing rooms, physio rooms, offices etc. I actually thought it looked pretty big when you see all the big lorry’s alongside. Like someone said previously you don’t really get the sense of size until the walls go up. Exciting stuff seeing the progress though

It also has a restaurant and a gym in it, so not that small.

[Mr John]

But will there be a cheese room?

Cottaging cheese?

I think it looks tiny because it’s really far away......

 

With the trucks and cranes it does look a decent size, just maybe not as big as you’d expect for a large training/community facility?

[CityCentre]

There fucking better be.

& it was quite cold the day the photo was taken.

 

 

Anyway, it's not that small it's easily as long as the width of a football pitch.

Probably not far off as big as the footprint of the DD stand. Maybe not the whole footprint but the lower concourse inside bit maybe

[Zander1903]

Hope this clears it up

Small footprint, but just going to bang on a couple of extra floors, stick the roof on, then get retrospective planning consent. Easy.

[The Boofon]

What was the quantity of concrete poured?

 

A civil/construction chap like @@Parklife or myself would be able to give you a good guess at the size of building it will be footing with that info.
