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. That "pub" doesn't exist. It all sounds crap to be honest. 1 hour ago, Boostin' Kev said: Would rather have a carry out in one of the fields. Bush Bar RIP. Bloody flats.

sjc Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Can't see the prospect of a shuttle bus appealing to many of Aberdeens central belt based fans after a long train journey to be honest. Build the c**t in the town ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieThomas Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Three pubs in shanty town Westhill within a 30 minute walk, or an Aberdeen theme pub in the ground. I take it all back, the AURORA sounds amazing, Dunty m8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may have pubs, restaurants, cafés, transport links shops and all the trappings of modern urban civilisation nearby but sadly you can’t help but wish that Tynecastle was next door to a farm instead like the Aurora Oh hang on a moment, we’ve got one of those too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Fair play to Dunty and his slightly skewed opinion of where Westhill starts. Personally I don't think the Tesco at the edge of the town counts as being in Westhill itself but each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The shuttle bus could take up to 45 minutes depending on traffic. f**k that. You'd need to be leaving at no later than 14.00, and that's assuming that they would run then. In reality the last one could be at 13.30 for all we know. Plus they'll be specific pick up points, so that could limit your choice of boozer, or at least ensure you have to leave the one of your choice earlier. So if you're an away fan you might have to be leaving the pub as early as 13.20. Oh, and forget about watching all of whatever game is on the TV. Anyway, regardless of when and where a shuttle bus would leave, the prospect of sitting on one for 30-45 minutes after travelling up is a bit shit. Will they segregate them as well (I mean away fans on different ones to home fans)? Also after games with everyone leaving the buses could be sitting in traffic for ages just to leave the ground. The bar at the ground will most likely be absolutely packed and sell overpriced shite like Carling in plastic glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will just be running from the city centre according to the information available online relating to the planning application. So home fans in the areas outside of the city centre will need to get a bus into town then get a shuttle bus out to the stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've just made something up in your head and decided to get offended by it. Get offended? I have to conclude that you don't know what that means. Please point out the parts in my post where I am offended. I said 'depending on traffic' it 'could' take 'up to' 45 minutes. This is basic, easy, primary school levels of comprehension. True, I've guessed at the times the shuttle buses will be running, since no one knows yet. But why would they run up until kick off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, cos the city centre is a nice short walk to the ground! Name the great pubs then that are closer to the ground? Tynecastle, Easter Road, Firhill, Dundee, Killie.

It's not that far to walk to the ground from the city centre. 20 minutes maybe? The really lazy can get a bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
