TAJ Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 6 hours ago, Darren said: £15-20 million for the sale of the land at Pittodrie? What sort of fantasy land stuff is this? It's hardly a prime location. There is nothing near the proposed stadium. This stadium project will never happen, just like Kingswells and Loirston before it. Nothing ever gets done in Aberdeen unless it's ruining a square containing two of the city's few architectural landmarks. Come on now, be fair. They could sell it and extend that Trinity place next door, there's people dying to get in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With their mishaps on the park, often in the lower tier, they've clung to the usual stadium arguments as a comfort blanket. Shat all over for five years. Last season I'll give you, but that's it. 18 hours ago, EdTheDuck said: In the 10 years between 1998 and 2007 Aberdeen FC traded at a cumulative loss of almost £20M. 10 straight years of trading losses ranging from half a million quid to over £3M. On turnovers that never bettered £8M. This had nothing to do with patching up Pittodrie or building the RDS, it had everything to do with hopeless financial management. And Aberdeen fans had the cheek to talk about our overspending. 17 hours ago, scotfree said: Nice work, m8. 17 hours ago, lubo_blaha said: I agree with that to some extent, it explains why they've had larger crowds recently. Things change quickly in football though. A few years ago Hibs were a shambles with 9/10k crowds and Hearts weren't selling out Tynecastle. Every club has peaks and troughs. We may win the Scottish Cup in a couple of years or get taken over by a Lithuanian crook. Yet were still getting better crowds than Aberdeen are now, champ. 5 hours ago, KingswellsRed said: Millions of our revenue comes from the RDS. It is the reason we have millions more money than the likes of Hearts. A ground of bus shelters with no revenue streams would not have been any use. We should have probably redeveloped at the time we owned the land but not with bus shelter stands. Until our state of the art main stand is completed, you mean. Why would you need more than two non 'bus shelter' stands? I'd hate it if the Gorgie, Wheatfield and Roseburn weren't the way they are. Tynecastle is going to be as near to perfect as could be hoped for in the coming months. Edited August 17, 2017 by Elixir 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 1 hour ago, Randy Giles said: The first page of this thread just goes to show how much Paolo really doesn't care. Although he seems to care an awful lot about how Aberdeen are much much better than Hearts in every single way. Except for their attendances, stadium, training facilities, general infrastructure and medium and long term future. It's going to be beautiful watching them fall from 'grace' in the coming years when the full force of this shit show becomes apparent and they are subsequently left in our wake. Now - back to the wrestling forum you go, you wee weirdo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynecastle is going to be as near to perfect as could be hoped for in the coming months. The Gorgie Suite brings in a decent whack of cash from that bus shelter, too. Tynecastle was a superior stadium to Pittodrie before the main stand revamp and will be miles ahead when it is finished. Aberdeen's proposed new stadium could have the finest hospitality suites in the land, it's not going to make much difference when the crowds dwindle further. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Paulo trying to get one over Aberdeen again based on his own wild fantasies about the future landscape of Scottish football. His last gaze into the crystal ball told us that Hearts would finish ahead of Aberdeen due to their superior head to head record against us.We finished thirty points ahead of Hearts, conceding one goal against them in four games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the season before, where we finished above you too? Or the season before that where we were literally out of your league? Or the season before that where we won a trophy, finished third and you got relegated? Or the season before that, where we also finished above you? Edited August 17, 2017 by Captain_Imra7 Missed that we finished above Hearts in season 2012/13 too. 5 years of being better than them it is! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Paulos act of feeling so comfortably superior to the dons would be more convincing if he didn't post many, many times a day about us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Not sure what Aberdeen finishing second in the league for a few years with no credible opposition has to do with the club and its supporters sleepwalking their way from a dung heap to an identikit stadium in the middle of nowhere but you crack on lads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another poor decision by the guy pushing through this disaster then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm deeply offended. Possibly not but you are a standard bitter, misinformed Jambo who pays themselves on the back over attendances despite the dons out performing you year after year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be sure over the same period the wonderful Mr. Romanov did manage to run up cumulative losses of over £37M, which makes Stewarty look like a paragon of financial virtue by comparison. Having said that I miss Vlad, he brought some colour to our game...mostly red I suppose but, y'know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 To put that into perspective for central belt readers that's about the size of Penicuik, Larkhall or Port Glasgow Larkhall??Big team found. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
