Up out of my scratcher in South Yorkshire at 6am, on the road before 7 to get to Aberdeen for half one, pick up rowies, game, then home for midnight if lucky? That was scarcely sane when I had the season ticket in 2016/17, nae chance I'd be doing that right now, lockdown or not. At the moment, as Uncle John from the Broch would say, "I widna ging the length o' masel". Fair play to anyone making that journey to watch aberdeen I can't see mcinnes lasting much longer.

prideothenorth Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) So it has took the council this long to decide they may want the stadium at the beach? I know it is Aberdeen council but how much time have they wasted looking elsewhere. Edited February 4, 2021 by prideothenorth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen Thistle win twice there in a season! The daft top/bottom 6 fixtures allowed a 3rd away game and an Aberdeen win. Not really read the whole thread but hope Aberdeen get that stadium. I think I had my first pube when it was in the newspapers first time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I d imagine so ; cut n paste job … difficult to see on that image ; but assume the same design - even closer to the north sea though …. looks like beach blvd is pedestrian only too …. Am sure its great on the ramblas etc …. But lot of the time will be windswept and not for hanging around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They reckon about 18,000, which is more than enough. I think it’s a great area to have it, let’s face it, the majority of games are going to be cold and windy, wherever it’s situated and it won’t have all the open gaps that pittodrie does. Unfortunately, I couldn’t trust the council to run a tea party, never mind plans of this magnitude, they’ve already shown their incompetence down that area this week.

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Westhill = Kingsford was also led to believe there was no funding in place yet for stadium st that site ? my personal opinion was to retain pittodrie ( had to be done some years back before new housing gasworks etc ) so that ship has sailed but “new pittodrie” at beach strong option b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am sure 18k be enough majority of time ; but tbh got a bit of a mental block of us dropping below 20k - feels like dropping down a league almost ; when been 30k in my lifetime… if dave cormack is aiming for 15 k season ticket holders ( i know …) that doesnt leave much for randoms & away fans? agree on the council ive always thought the sharpest tacks headed into corporate/ o&g business and we re left with the B squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple fact is that’s theres not enough people go to watch aberdeen that can justify a 20k+ stadium. Too many old firm and epl fanboys, so smaller capacity is good, less of the ugly sisters get in, the better, I’d make the maximum capacity of the away end between 500-1000.
