As a semi regular attendee of Aberdeen games (10/15 a season) and someone who lives pretty close to King Street it will completely change going to an Aberdeen game for me. I wont be able to pop to the Kings then the Scotia prior to kick off, I wont really be able to make a last minute decision to walk along - however that's my own situation. I have always travelled by public travel to Cowdenbeath games and getting there early and going to pubs, walking to the game is a major attraction for me. It is part of the reason why I love going to football, if I am honest. I hate going to Livingston, Falkirk etc in these soulless stadiums but I still go.
However, Pittodrie is a dive. The South stand is terrible - the entrance, the facilities (worst planned toilets in Scotland) everything. I like the Main Stand but it is falling to pieces and a bit of a lottery whether you will see all of the game. So, Aberdeen need a new ground and there aren't many locations available. They also need a training base, obviously, as their current training facilities are embarrassing. The plans looks good imo and it could be a real centre of excellence for the NE. As stated by many the ground itself HAS to be done right. If the club f**k that up they will never recover.
The site isn't ideal, I am out that way quite a lot and, while it isn't that much of a pain to get to by car, going by public transport doesn't really appeal to me. I would hope Colin Cameron type landlords would put on busses for regulars. Ensure that people remain town centre drinkers.
Also, Aberdeen have a hell of a lot of history so I hope they put a decent wee museum in. Celebrate football in the NE and try to encourage more people to come up here.
Finally, the fans have to get behind this.
