Frank Grimes Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Enough negativity on here these days, probably again tonight whatever the result at Hamilton, so Credit where it’s due - well done to the club on the Training Ground and looking forward to hearing about the opening tomorrow 2 Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Absolute bottle job there. Probably rigged the vote to appease the Orcs. Disgrace if he’s not recognised by the club in some wayHow is it a bottle job?Perhaps he's not a popular with the masses as you believe and he simply hasn't gotten enough votes. 1 Link to comment
DelMonte Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Yup that's nonsense. Mcleish would have a strong case over him. 1 Link to comment

Donstar83 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Can’t see anything about if it’s invite only or if fans can just rock up?Being streamed on YouTube and red tv. Link to comment
Pittodrie_Erupts Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Correct about Buchan but statue still has to be Willie holding aloft the CWC. I think its important the pre-80s years are not forgotten, too many people think football started in the 90s as it is. We have a lot of history to commemorate. Of course the zenith is that moment in 83. Link to comment
RUL Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hopefully a great day for club tomorrow. Link to comment

Maybe Pele peeking out of the boot of a car. Link to comment

Dunty Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 According to a girl who was at the meeting... Safe standing costs three times as much as normal seating does, which means to incorporate it they may have to cut capacity. They also think this will help stadium be full more often. Cormack asked those at meeting whether they would prefer 17,000 - 18,000 capacity but with standing, or 20,000 without. They all voted for the smaller capacity. Can't make the stadium higher due to height restrictions imposed on them, which also means they can't make it very steep. Considering making the supporters bar the length of the north stand. Been impressed by what they saw at Tottenham. Access by membership or extra on ticket price. Also considering indoor fanzone. Link to comment
maryhilldon Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Ridiculous that there's a hight restriction in the middle of nowhere. What difference does a few metres make? And I'm failing to see how safe standing would lead to a reduced capacity? Link to comment
maryhilldon Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Dig down into the ground a few meters - simpleYep, loads of grounds have sunken pitches. Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Dig down is fair enough but bound to increase costs. It's actually a bit ridiculous there's a height restriction that low- how the fuck are we supposed to be a decent stadium with restrictions like that? It's not like they are planning something the size of Celtic Park, Ibrox, Hampden, Murrayfield etc. Link to comment

That's mental to suggest you'd need to pay to get into the pub pre match. Fuck that. Few pints in the Westhill Arms or whatever pub is there instead. Huge loss of revenue charging people to get in and losing sales. Link to comment

Few pints in the Westhill Arms or whatever pub is there instead. Huge loss of revenue charging people to get in and losing sales.Yeah it does seem a bit off, but it might make sense if you've got say 5,000 people wanting a pint in a 500 capacity bar. Best solution might be to have 2 bars. One for people who are happy to pay for entrance/membership in order to get a pint and another for those that are happy to take their changes. And fuck the marquee, the club should buy one of those so called temporary buildings that they use at the beer festivals in Germany. Link to comment
