You'd be as well watching the game in a pub. Corporate hospitality being hermetically sealed off from the "normal fans" was a bigger deal for way back in the '80s before "gentrification" ruined/improved* the match day experience for the rest of us. Now that the "normal fan" isn't seen as quite so scary corporate clients don't want to be quite so isolated from them. The VIP boxes at the Emirates have a view of the pitch while your chatting with clients beforehand over vol-au-vents but if you pay £18,000 for a box at Arsenal vs Spurs United you're given seats in front of your box for when the game actually starts * delete according to social class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't "near". It's a shite location. Westhill a 30 minute walk? Where you getting that from? It's literally right next door to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, the stadium isn't where it says Kingsford. It's at the other side of that big patch of land. It's 0.4 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a tight urban site and you need to apply some creativity to develop thereSame as the bite out of the corner of the Gorgie Road end or Motherwell’s cut off StandStuart Milne is obviously too proud to make any such compromises and would prefer to build something pleasingly symmetrical in the middle of nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a further three in Westhill and two within walking distance from the east. There's also the option of just staying in the city centre and getting one of the shuttle buses.
