This is why the city is an absolute pile of patchwork trash. All partisan decisions flip and turn on a dime. All Parties should agree and commit to strategic plans, no matter who’s in power. The whole point of these proposals are to regenerate our dump of a city centre, caused by these fucking idiots. It’s not fucking rocket science.

I’ve previously called for a standing committee to oversee fundamental projects to do with town planning and strategy, to protect us from these absolute fucking clowns.

Who fucking cares, let them get back to pointing at people with their thumbs - bunch of fucking wasters these career politicians. Scum, subhuman scum.

I find it funny the stick SNP gets on here from so many tory knobjockeys when the reason fk all gets done in Aberdeen is because it’s always being run (down) by Tories ?

Is the new stadium going to have enough seats for away supports? I’ve always thought AFC were missing a trick by not doing what similar sized clubs like Kilmarnock and Motherwell do, and selling more tickets to away fans. Loads of Huns up there. Two games at home v them, you could probably sign a player or two with that sort of cash. ?‍♂️

Hun alert. Get rid @Bebo

Hearts fan surely with those initials?

I still think a massive opportunity was missed to turn Union Terrace Gardens into our stadium / community sporting centre of excellence. Imagine how it would have looked, carved into the heart of the city, revitalising all around it.

But no one had the vision, balls, or money.

Read elsewhere that Aberdeen isn't really a big football city (an opinion I suppose, but maybe not far off the mark). Not sure if the wider community would support a football stadium smack bang in the middle of the city, regardless of council support?

Photos released today look incredible! Too good to be true. Seems very ambitious for 150m even if we are shelling out a fair bit for the ground ourselves!

Link?

[sooth_stander]

Had to laugh at all the trees on the beachfront area.

Think there’s a reason why there’s never been trees planted there before……

A pier.

150 million is not a great deal when you look at it long term

Aberdeen city centre looks tired and needs regeneration 

The beach area with additional sporting facilities  would be ace

Go for it no more stalling  let's just get it done

I was thinking boardwalk. It looks ridiculous and would be fucking freezing. 

Get a grip and wear a fleece and longjohns ya woofter.

[OddJob]

I think it looks like a great idea but definitely a long way off in terms of anything actually being done about it. A lot of funding required 

[super_al]

What is the capacity?

[maryhilldon]

I can't imagine Aberdeen ever getting a new stadium.

No shuttle buses and not in a bog 7 miles away but still might be ok.

[RUL]

Looks good to me, get it built.

It's the amount something can hold.

[Shinniesta]

Time to stop fucking about this is what the Dons need at the beach. We beat this club the only time we ever played them in a european final so at the very least we should be trying to match them.

 Get it built!

 

[1983]

80m to build, 35k capacity.

40m from us and 40m from the council. That leaves them 110m to build a monorail

[sheepshagger]

35k capacity? Why would we need that, be 20k empty seats and would look awful.

We wouldn’t need 35k. I posted the example which was built in 2019 and shows what can be achieved for a reasonable budget if the council support it…

[Ke1t]

I guess it's time for the annual 'Here's what a new stadium might look like' teaser.

Exciting times.

Building for the future 

Top 100 club & all that ?

 

in all seriousness though, if Scottish football is to move forward (& have realistic hopes of hosting major tournaments) then we have to build the infrastructure to do so.

Build a stadium with intentions of not using upper tiers (unless required) but designed in a way that you can still harness a decent atmosphere from just filling the lower tiers.

 

I hate our negative outlook/hopes in terms of hoping to attract bigger crowds in reality whilst the club feeds us all the BS about fake ‘Top 100’ intentions when they don’t back their words with forward planning for it happening. All they do is speak shite to please fans but they don’t back up their bravado chat. Club s being run by politicians not football men. Snake oil selling cunts

Shouldnt be allowed to build a new stadium these days without direct links to a rail network or metro.

Agree, and since the concept artist appears to have paid no heed to any sort of budgetary issues, there is no reason why he (or she or they) can't add in a monorail. It's what the people want. 

[ericblack4boss]

Surely we need to be looking at environmental issues in the stadium.

Let's collect the rain water,  use in toilet cisterns, 

Wind and solar to power as much as possible
