Elixir Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 That new stadium looks every bit as shit as we all knew it would be. It's something you'd expect of a new franchise club - a bit like Livi's ground, really. In the middle of nowhere too. Ooft. Must be brutal knowing that's your future when you look at the likes of a finished Tynecastle and Easter Road in the heart of our nations capital. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, no, they're all quiet as well. The difference being Tynecastle (and Easter Road) can play host to those special, electric occasions whenever they do come around. They're also just far better places to watch football regardless of atmosphere, with superior options for pre-match and post-match.

Elixir Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) I also wonder where Aberdeen got the idea for a museum and memorial garden when looking at "best in class facilities in stadia across the UK and Europe"?

Must be brutal knowing that's your future when you look at the likes of a finished Tynecastle and Easter Road in the heart of our nations capital. You're probably correct in thinking that Aberdeen fans would rather the stadium remain in the city, however, maintenance costs are enormous and redeveloping without the capital that will be raised from the sale of the existing ground would be completely unviable. It's a pity that this downturn has come at this time as the Pittodrie site is possibly worth a few quid less than say 5-10 years ago (I'm no housing market expert so this could be complete crap)What we will have is a purpose built facility that will go on providing for the club for years to come and until it's finished I don't think that we can really be having a go at it. As for Tynecastle, I'll be sad to see the John Robertson lounge disappear when the new main stand is built. That's about the extent of corporate at Tynecastle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionel hutz Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I took some photos on my phone and its basically what you've seen posted on here already/is in the Evening Express I spoke to someone from the club about safe-standing, and he said that there will be a section as long as the trial at Celtic Park continues to be successful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weejoeharper Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I don't get all the anger. We've got an opportunity to build a new stadium, it looks good I think in the photoshopped photo. Pittodrie is not now fit for purpose, too old and fails some criteria for UEFA. The new stadium will hopefully be better. Why all the anger? It's not really anyone else's business what we do with our stadium, is it? Some people really need to do a bit of growing up and realise that not everything revolves around them and their lives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadgerTheBadger Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Imagine taking the cup back to the arse end of nowhere on cup final night?Surely they could tidy up Pittodrie and build a training base then pump the rest into the In team. If they invested a a couple of million last year they would have won the league with ease -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
