Tbf it took at least a month or two after #GoadingDay for Hibees to become too self-important and tedious. A significant streamlining of that process seems to have been achieved this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original plans have already been scaled back due to objections. Won't happen anyway. Milne is a failure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bargain IMO It is for Milne who will rake in millions. Call thenselves Aberdeen but leave Aberdeen to the cost of local businesses etc to move miles away so Milne can build houses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkneil Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Unfortunately, this whole debacle (and it is a debacle) falls in line with how Aberdeen as a city has been run for the last 50+ years. As has been said elsewhere, training facilities should have been built a generation ago. They can be built anywhere really. They are tied to the new ground this time so it's not even a cae where we can at least get on with that if the stadium is rejected. The RDS should never have been built, each stand should have been upgraded over a period of years like Hearts/Hibs did. Those fans are well within their right to gloat over that. Land was available, but Milne had overreached with spending (£1m Paul Bernard etc), we had built a fucking white elephant and that was that. If not in the city centre, some discussion should have been held about a new ground being built beside where the new AECC is being built, with a new rail branch being put in on that side of the airport to shuttle folk between Aberdeen train station and the airport, AECC and fitba ground. A small station with trains shuttling between it and the main Aberdeen one would see people commuting daily to businesses on that side of the airport, the airport itself, the ground and the AECC for all the events planned there. The ground would also still be serviced by the new bypass. I can't see how the city couldn't justify a new rail link with all those opportunities. I can't fathom how no-one considered this. We're where we are because we're fucking teuchters and should never have been given the responsibility to run the UK's oil industry or look after a team who have a 100% record against Real Madrid. It was a sure thing we'd make an arse of it!!! Kingsford looks to be the only option. The costs associated with Pittodrie re-development are outwith what we can probably do compared to building on greenbelt land. We'll be another 5 years away from getting planning for a new ground somewhere else, and somewhere else will also have naysayers and as many cons as pros like Kingsford does. However, if Kingsford is given the go ahead, I'll still get myself out there to games. Even if it's via the fucking cycle track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
