Made it to 93

There's no other way

That'll do except for Devlin getting crocked by the supporters

I thought hed left hibs more than a year ago. Covid times goals only cement the 'football is nothing without fans' sentiment

Think I saw on the BBC gossip a few days back that Caley were sniffing about a loan for Bavidge.

You need enough space around the stadium for the entire capacity to be evacuated into a controlled space whilst still allowing space for emergency vehicles. You also need to plan for 20000 odd people suddenly packing into an area with infrastructure not currently designed to accommodate it. Road, pavement and junction improvements, traffic management Utility upgrades etc Football stadiums dont get 'compulsary purchase orders. One reason Arsenal's stadium was so expensive was not only did they have to buy the surrounding buildings, they also had to buy replacement houses/ commercial properties for the occupants. Stamford Bridge's redevelopment was effectively cancelled due to the objections of one lone householder. Carparking under a very large structure with significant weight fluctuations on former victorian industrial site with an underground stream on one side and a railway tunnel on the other? Network Rail held up a housing project near Edinburgh because 4 houses were too close to the roof of a tunnel. When asked what they think about having a stadium built close if not on top of their tunnel the short answer will ne 'No' and the long one 'FUCK no' Finally Emergency Access 'under a building'?! Yeah you really want to be parking the fire engine under the raging inferno. Gonna throw this out there. Whatever you may think or Architects, Stadium Designers, Engineers, Town Planners, and the Officials at the Club, do you think if Broadford works was a feasible they wouldnt have considered it?

2hrs to walk 3.1miles?

Its about 3/4 of a mile further from dundee station than Mcdiarmed Park is from Perth station. Im not bothered by a 5k walk and there there are already 'facilities' next to the site so it is more suitable than Kingsford which the older I get the more ludicrous a site it becomes. The bypass junction really tops it off I say good luck to them but will be interested to see if they scale back certain parts when the seemingly inevitable 'eeerr...we are already 9months behind and the costs have gone up 80%' report comes back from the project manager.

He want to 'force' his way back into the scotland team? Signing for the Dons will give him the same powers as Shergar, Lord Lucan and Juan Cobian in terms of Scotland National team visibility

Would that be the Sociedad game that took place before the league season started? Dons lost 3-2 on the Thursday then 3-0 the following sunday in the league opener with the arabs

Only occasion i can recall such a thing happening was to apparently help SEVCO beat Parma (ended up losing 3-0 at Ibrox) and Scotland in some qualifying game (believe a similar result was had). Story sounds like social media baiting to me and I'd argue its a counterproductive strategy. Have an extra day off yes but if Killie get dicked 5-0 in the first leg it lets the disappointment and anger fester in the players minds so much longer.

Operation yewtree closing in

Dons 'legend' Wes Burns perhaps lucky not to get sent off against Liverpool today
