Why do you need to train without rain?

Exactly.  It's acclimatisation.  What next, small umbrella hats so their mascara doesn't run?  Earplugs incase a coach shouts  'useless cunt'?   Absolutely embarrassing how pampered the modern footballer is,  even at our level.

You tendering for the fence work at the new grun EB4B?

[Fridge]

Tender was Durrant.

Couldn’t cope with Brian Grant.

He took a dive.

It’s a shame he’s still alive.

Come on come on come on get Simmie to it.

Always surprised me we didn’t have an indoor pitch too at Cormack Park, given the shite weather potentially in winter - maybe too expensive. 

The whole site is still work in progress by the looks of it, still huge tracks of land within the site boundaries that remain untouched.

Maybe they thought the Westhill Lizzies would have really shat their y fronts if a tin shed appeared on the planning application but if you look at the eastern edge of the site, that looks to be where an indoor facility could be built, and as already mentioned, maybe part of phase 3, after/if the stadium gets built?

i notice another drive though is being built adjacent to McDonalds over the road in Arnhall, is that a Starbucks?

Yes it’s a Starbucks.

Oh,  and it’s “tracts“ of land.

You’re welcome.

“There requires further discussions with stakeholders, one of which is Aberdeen Football Club who may now have a desire to remain within their spiritual home down at the beach.“

They may not. What a complete non story regarding AFC that is. Fucking hell. 

[Tord31]

We may now have a desire to stay put for another ten years, yes.

Another 20 years is still up for debate.

One positive of covid it's killed the Westhill white elephant stone dead 

[Dunty]

The quote is from Marie Boulton, who was one of the few on the council who voted against Kingsford, and appears to be just clutching at straws.

[redstrummer]

All these projects never seem to get done all just talk . They need to crack on with all these plans and get the economy moving in the city , post covid 

[Andy_123]

I’d doubt it. AFC already bought all the land for the new stadium, and I think I’m right in saying already completed some of the drainage works at the same time the training facilities were done. Complete waste of money if they decide not to move now.

If the council/government want to pay the additional costs associated with staying where we are and redeveloping pittodrie to the same standard as a brand new stadium elsewhere, then I’m sure everyone would be all for that.

Spot on.The only thing they have done is clear some gutters of weeds in Union st.

Aberdeen council should be looking to do everything they can to keep the stadium in the city.They own most of the land beside Pittodrie and should be bending over backwards to come to a compromise.This is vital to many businesses such as pubs,golf clubs.chippers,bakers etc .

If the stadium goes to Kingswells most people will just be heading there and then home.Same with away supporters.

Aye. Never happening.

Thank fuck.

[Joe pike]

I think the last hare brained scheme to come out of the. Council for the city centre was a mono rail running through the castle gate,down to the beach then across to seagull island.

[Poodler]

Remember when the council went against the wishes of the people and declined the UTG revamp. 
 

Now they're spending about 100M on a lift down to the gardens for disableds.

Loved boozing in that park. What a shame ACC got their teeth into it.

They better leave Vic park alone 

[redstrummer]

Start doing all these projects , not just here but throughout the UK , get people working and the economy thriving , only way out of this shitfest

The report doesn't say Aberdeen may have a desire to stay at all. Mores the pity. 

It's just that bint Boulton spouting pish, which is a speciality of hers.

The new fans and birds will be fuming come the summer. Deek will be awa and the new grun with coffee shop and kids face painting zone will be scrapped.

What's the story about,  that would help? 

[Ernie McCracken]

What a fucking shambles. Council are a fucking joke. They've had 20 years to help AFC get a site, but what do they do? Wait until AFC have secured a site and planning permission and then pipe up and say "what about building here instead" 

I would suspect AFC will tell them to poke it due to the stage were at coupled with the annual costs of running 2 sites.
