It will detract from the atmosphere which will negatively affect Aberdeen in the long run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the Club moving out of the City is a good idea? No I don't particularly. Similarly I think Pittodrie is a dive. I won't claim to be ITK about planning permission etc and all that around redeveloping Pittodrie, the simple truth is I don't know. I think if you asked anyone what the ideal situation would be it would be to build a brand new stadium on the same site as Pittodrie. Saying that if we move to Kingsford I know I will be there regularly, it's close to my house in Aberdeen than Pittodrie anyway! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Wilkos Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 All sane Aberdeen fans want to remain at Todders. Let us hope this happy-clapping, lego brick piece of shit stadium never sees the light of day. Which it won't! #CallingIt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this.Unfortunately the lack of viable alternative sites is telling, given that most folk who are dead set against Kingsford seem to be desperately trying to make redeveloping Pittodrie sound viable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you can appreciate the value of having a large site that’s a 10 minute walk from the city centre and also a stones throw away from the beach? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be built in the middle of nowhere next to a couple dual carriageways* to qualify as "prime" *dual carriageways that make it easier to get into the city centre... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunty Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 8 hours ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Your home support will suffer too and it'll be a pain in the arse for people travelling from all over if you ever had any intention of hosting a Scotland game or the odd cup semi. How do Scotland fans outwith Aberdeen currently travel to Pittodrie for internationals? I doubt they come by train, since usually for a midweek game the last train leaves well before full-time. So they likely come by car and bus. In which, they'll find Kingsford a lot easier to get to and from than Pittodrie. As for semi-finals, we've not hosted one of those in 14 years. 3 hours ago, badgerthewitness said: Just how many buses and parking spaces are Aberdeen planning to provide for this? The council have restricted them to 1300 (they want to build more). They have a deal with arnhall to provide another 600 off site, plus the various park and rides adds another 1000 or so. Based on an average of 3 people per car. Unnofficialy, there is parking in Westhill and kingswells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
