Can I just say how much I dislike the fact this has grown into accepted fact. It wasn't even the first all-seated stadium in Scotland. Kilbowie and Meadowbank were both all-seated before Pittodrie was.

Pittodrie was actually the first all seated, all covered, stadium in Britain.

Kilbowie was the first all seated ground.

Would like to point out although you quoted me it wasn't me who wrote the article, was a New York based journalist.

I appreciate that, was just saying. However, you cannot really say that Pittodrie was the first all covered stadium in Britian either though. Even today substantial bits of the South Stand are open seating.

Meadowbank isn't all seated

Meadowbank was all-seated then (and still is essentially - they don't have a certificate for any terracing). Three sides of it may have been bench seating, but seating it was/is.

[Darren]

I see. Used to go there as a kid and always just assumed it was teracing.

I'm pretty sure Morton had a claim on being the first all seated stadium, although all Hal Stewart did was stick planks of wood on the terracing and remove the barriers.

Might copy and paste a few John Lennon lyrics, then ask for some of the royalties.

Good luck Aberdeen, and build one with a roof on it you know it makes sense

I'm just hoping for heated seats.

And a bar that the plebs can buy alcohol from so it's not just the corporates who can numb their pain with alcohol while watching the game. (In tea cups mind you)

Apparently there will be a bar at the stadium. I've never understood why the club didn't buy the broadbill bar, surely would have been a sound investment.

Would be a shame to see Pittodrie go but as a long term plan it looks the sensible option. Good luck to them, I hope it works out and they can put in a decent challenge in future.

I'm looking forward to it.

I love Pittodrie as much as the next Dandy but it's falling to bits and the Main Stand roof costs us £1million + in healthy and safety fines year after year.

If we stay there we'll continue to decline as a Club.

I'm not saying this new Stadium is some sort of magical solution however I feel it will at least give us a platform from which we can move forward.

And the Stadium Bar will be ace
