Homer Thompson Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 53 minutes ago, betting competition said: https://www.afc.co.uk/2018/04/24/development-project-receives-full-planning-approval/ AFC Chairman, Stewart Milne has given the following reaction following the news that the club have now received official planning permission from Aberdeen City Council: “ This is yet another piece of good news in our long-running saga to secure badly needed training and community facilities. We are really excited about letting contracts to local companies for the work and getting started on site. Despite claims by the objectors, we will be going ahead as we are confident that our plans have gone through the proper channels and democratic process. “It’s now clear from planning and legal experts that the objectors cannot stop these plans. At best, they could hold them up for a matter of months but ultimately our plans will go ahead. The courts won’t entertain a challenge that is just based on the development being in the Green Belt. The objectors need to argue that the process of permitting the development was flawed and, even in the unlikely event that is upheld, the Club and the Council will simply go through the planning process again, correcting any procedural error and the outcome will be the same. “It’s only right and fair that those donating or making pledges to their cause are fully aware that their money cannot prevent these plans and will simply fund a pointless exercise that will drain Council resources and potentially damage the region’s reputation as a place in which to invest. “Our aim is to work constructively with the local communities to be a good neighbour and to ensure we deliver the best sports facilities for local people and the best training facilities for the Club.” That is some GIRFUY statement from the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingboots Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 All credit to Dundee. They've obviously been given the cash but have done a good job reinventing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone being sucked in by the absolute fucking drivel being spouted today deserves exactly what’s coming, a concrete box in the middle of fucking nowhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Until recently I would never have believed it possible, but the way things are going Dundee will pass Aberdeen as a more appealing place to live, work and study within a decade or so. And that's before the oil runs out. Their lack of investment in culture has been a huge omission. Was speaking about this the other day with someone - I couldn’t agree more. Dundee is great and getting better. It’s an absolute tragedy for Aberdeen that all that oil money didn’t go into the city. You look at oil rich countries all over the world and they look incredible. If you took someone who had no knowledge of Aberdeen they’d never have guessed it was an oil city, it’s falling on its arse. Dundee will be the 3rd best city in Scotland very soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E&SCC came out against it last night, as they did every other proposal in the area, except the extension of Tillybrig. Unrepresentative mob they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two points - Dundee is already miles better, and the money went to London. That's what happens when another country governs you. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
