[NEM]

Fuck Kingsford.  Can't believe dons fans are actually entertaining the idea of moving out there.

When would the planning permission permit run out at Kingsford? Is it 3 years? If so, must be getting close to that. No sure how you get round that, if no spade has been stuck in the ground by then but the Westhill lesbians will be getting moist at the thought of another battle with us.

Have to say, surprised that Cormack is even entertaining the beach white elephant. Pie in the sky Cooncil nonsense, even moreso when it looks like we are paying for the fucker as well. 

Land already secured at Kingsford, site cleared and decontaminated, just get it built 

I think because the council demanded the training facilities and stadium went in as one planning application and we've began work by building the training facilities already there is no time limit on it now

I dont think so many people would consider Kingsford had there been planning consent at both sites. Id much rather move to a purpose built stadium at Kingsford than remain at Pittodrie long term. 

[aberdeen1970]

I'd rather stay at Pittodrie than move to Kingsford. 

My dilemma is whether I want to stay at the beach in a new downsized 16000 stadium or go to a new 20000 seater stadium at Kingsford which was originally mooted there. 

On balance I'd probably go for the beach location but I'm uncomfortable about tying ourselves to such a low capacity long term.

Each to their own but I’d rather stay at pittodrie, as dilapidated as it is.

Complete no brainer between a new stadium at the beach or one in Westhill 

[RED_JOHN]

We do some mucking about trying to decide etc where we are going to put a new stadium. These muppets shouldn’t be running a football club. I will take over and make the decision for them if needed. The gimps at the council will agree with me, it will be a breeze to achieve this in a very short space of time.

[Ke1t]

Aberdeen was always considered an innovative club, so this should be easy enough. 

Design some modular stadium that you can just pop in extra seating or new stands like Lego. 

16,000k capacity? Not happy?

Pull out that stand that holds 4,000... stuck in a stand that holds 8,000. 

Chinese could design and build it in a few hours. 

Might look like Lego and not work properly, but a British built one is going to look like it's built with Lego and isn't going to work properly either.

Probably have to consider rising sea levels in the future

Pittodrie is a dump. If sir alex thinks we should build a new one that’s good enough for me. 
 

If we go for less than the current capacity that’s short sightedness on the clubs part doesn’t matter where it’s built

Nonsense. If you’re not happy with pittodrie you can always fuck off and support Week Academy

Kingsford will destroy AFC. Miles from Aberdeen, the furthest from a train station of any football ground in the UK I read somewhere, combined with a new generation of fans that don't have the money the previous generations had to get there. Marry this into building an event location outside the city rather than a social occasion location within one.

 

That's my take on it anyway.

Which matches are these? 

I was thinking of cup matches - and I believe European matches too.

Someone's said its now 20% for cup games, so my point is even more valid

It’s clearly not enforced as we only got 900 for snake mountain the other year

Though some will say my distant non-doric residency invalidates any opinion on this.

Possibly fair.

It’s short sighted as how are we supposed to progress as a club if we go to a smaller stadium

Agree, needs to be within the city - not just for football but think of all the other revenue that will be lost with match day drinks/food etc  - would make the city even quieter

At this rate we'll just need some portable goals from argos and a few deckchairs

Cormack will be hopeful of purchasing them whilst they have a sale on.

You’re only one of many expressing an opinion that don’t presently go to the games. I think a Go Fund Me page where all those who don’t go to the games can contribute money to those who do go to cater for alcohol consumption pre and post match would be a great idea.

[shooftahmooftah]

Forget new stadiums , it’s a new frigging team you need first that wins games. 

[zeroisgod76]

Just get the bloody thing built at Kingsford (its going to be there eventually anyway). Aberdeen Football Club aren't in existence to prop up shops and pubs in the city centre and the reality is it'll barely affect them anyway.

Can't understand why some people genuinely love to travel 150 miles for an away game, but will moan like hell about the thought of having to travel 5 miles from the city centre for a home game.

Sooner they actually start building at Kingsford the better.

Missing a penalty spot and the bench outside the main entrance.
