I couldn't find a picture of The Howff, which is another quirk of the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dd23 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 What was the deal with the funny wee corner stand at Pittodrie. I may have asked this and been answered about 150 pages ago, but I'm 53 now so I may have forgotten, and certainly can't be arsed checking back through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say there were originally two do you mean there was one at each end of the main stand? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the history of why it was built, but it to my eternal frustration that it is the only part of the two versions of Pittodrie, seated and non seated, that I was never in. I may never get over it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Fitlike Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) I suppose developing an 'all seated, all covered' stadium which was not actually all covered would be classed as a 'Quirk'! One of my favourite pictures of Pittodrie.... about 1980 - I can't be arsed to dig out an actual date....

PauloPerth Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 That corner stand at Pittodrie was bizarre. It didn't even curve round the corner, it just stood facing the opposite end. I used to think it must have been weird sitting in it when the action was at the near goal as you'd be sitting looking over your left shoulder! Building the Richard Donald Stand at the Beech End was a big mistake for me, the old Beech End was the best stand at the ground. If they'd replaced either side stand with the Richard Donald design of stand,Pittodrie would be a vastly superior stadium today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
