Derelict buildings were originally Garthdee Farm which became a hippy commune in the early 70’s. some decent sorts lived/squatted there. Now, of course, known as “Den of Pitfodels” because it adds thousands to price of the houses. It’s fucking Garthdee ? Link to comment

Just inside the grounds of Norwood there are two lodge houses - East and West Lodge. West Lodge was lived in by hippies (looked like Rod,Jane and Freddie @Grays Babylon 1875types)who were very relaxed in allowing us to hang out. The air had a pungency about it all the time and they were cool with us chilling with them. Good times 1 Link to comment

He’s not keen on the colt team idea, stating why would you want to add 6 teams to the structure when the population hasn’t increased. spent quite a bit of time talking about a vision (across the league) of increasing the revenue by £5M a year, largely focussing on the sponsorship and citing other similar sized leagues make less from ST’s and walk-ups, but more on commercial sponsorships. Talked about the pre-match experience, fan zones, believed that the beer / food there should be affordable, looking at engaging more with the younger generation through the community trust, mentioned 18year olds can get a season ticket that equates to £3 to £4 a game and can pay that up over 6 months, all linked to making it a better experience to grow the ST to 15k. the 15k ST target is quite a challenging one (in my opinion), but will be a massive achievement if he manages to grow the support to that. 1 Link to comment

That's all well and good and he should be applauded for the pricing structure and especially making it so affordable for young supporters to buy season tickets as well as the fan engagement and wanting to make the fan experience at Pittodrie more enjoyable but ultimately it all boils down to what happens on the pitch and what happened on the pitch last season will turn people away, not attract them. No way, kids especially, do people want to be consistently sitting through games where Aberdeen don't score a goal. Entertaining football COMBINED with all his other ideas is what will grow the crowds to the levels he wants. The odd trophy from time to time wouldn't go amiss either. It's all in his hands. The appointments he makes, the budget he affords them, the experience he gives the supporters. If he gets it all right 12k+ season ticket holders is easily achievable and maybe even closer to the levels he wants. At the moment the current 8,200 or so is about what the club should realistically expect given what the supporters have had in return. 1 Link to comment
