1-0 pars and it begins again

I thought the government said he wouldnt get an early release?

You get out of the train and you walk. Probably local buses but ive always walked and its no big deal. Infact its easier than walking from Dundee station to tanndice given the stadium isnt up a hill. I disagree about the biggest pain in the arse being the journey to the ground. The biggest pain in the arse is the lack of train and bus services to and from Inverness.

Its not a question of personal preference dave The club seem to be bigging up this shuttle bus ideal which is a pipe dream. As someone has already pointed out even if each bus held 100 people that is still only 6000 fans and also relies hevaily on people wanting to be at the stadium for up to 2hrs in advance of kick off. Having a second means of public transport which will drop fans off less than 1mile from the new stadium (as the crow flies. Fuck shuttle buses, they can walk. Construct an actual direct pedestrian route to the stadium and new footbridge over the A956) and can also be sold to the local government and train networks as having an every day use (at peak times every single southbound train out of Aberdeen could stop there, reducing to say 1-2 trains an hour the rest of the time) is an option the club and infact the local council dont even seem to be trying to approach. This isnt a dig at you but in the last few weeks ive been inundated with complaints from friends, family and colleagues over 'ooh its such a hassle, lets not bother' for various activities. When did everyone become such a bunch of soft cunts? Queing up with 6000plus pissed up dons fans between 2 and 3pm (lets face it how many people are seriously going to use the 1-2pm bus service?) when you can get on any of the south bound trains and walk for a bit? I know what im choosing. Ill lay a bet Rainbow taxis and co would be sniffing about Cove bay station on match days anyway. Bus, taxi or walk the last mile

If the club has any ambition then they should push for a small railway station to be built at Cove and have shuttle buses running from there too. I reckon Scotrail would see that as a potential money spinner for commuter trains Mon-fri especially given the success of the Laurencekirk station (cost 3million to re-open that one) So how about we name the place the 'first scotrail stadium' and see if that can prize a few million out of them. Especially since they will most likely be doing the shuttle buses. Anyone old enough to know where the old Cove bay railway station was?

:lolabove: :lolabove: Going on my experience of Aberdeen public transport that means the 255pm bus will arrive at the same time as the 1pm bus

Not when it means you have to live in Aberdeen Has the look of a man who knows hes just moved to a more northerly and slightly colder bench

54 games in 3 seasons for 4 different clubs (8 goals) Injury prone Either too thick or stubborn to realise rangers didnt want him or is another agent lead mercenary. Why do I get the feeling we will be linked with Kirk Broadfoot in the next few months

P & J reach a new low by stealing stories from yesterdays Metro

who are you looking at?

Is it possibel to purchase any teams shirt other than chelsea, man united, Arsenal or Liverpool in 'general' sports shops anymore? I remember the Inverness Intersport having most if not all of the Scottish premier teams (shirts, shorts and various merchandise) back in about 1994 yet Ive not seen a scottish club anywhere in the last few years except JJB sports (and thats only the old firm). The first dons kit I ever had was purchased by my grandmother in London back in about 1988. Think all scottish clubs are missing a trick these days but then again I dont know how successful it used to be letting Greaves etc sell their stuff. The internet has a lot to answer for. I wonder how long it will be before clubs dont even bother with shops anymore. Just have warehouses and a couple of blokes to stick the stamps on.

Thought this was a thread about the Globes

Omsk, Tomsk, Tobermoray, Orinoco.....

love the way that article changes from 'hes going to celtic' to 'theres been interest from celtic' Think mulgrew has really shot himself in the foot. Hears he could go to celtic so bumps up his wages demands even further at Sheff United. They say sod off and then Celtic do the same (I hope) and its back down to earth with a bigger bang for the man who doesnt give a fuck

googled the boy seems he is remembered for 3 things 1) Scoring a the winning goal in the 2006 LDV vans trophy final 2) Missing a penalty in the 2006 league one Play off final 3) Having a figure similar to Bobby Williamson and Gary Bollan in their final playing days

I believe we offered kids season tickets for about £10 in Skovdahls 3rd season (possibly even free with an adult ticket). As well as discounts in all other areas of the stadium, all lead with the infamous 'join the red army' advert. And season tickets sales went up and our average attendance was over 14000. but come the following season the club was greeted with moaning and criticism from the fans for having the audacity to put the prices back up to their usual rates and the average attendance dropped to 11774. Being the miserable cúnt ill say this may increase motherwells attendance by a couple of hundred for next season only for it to drop right back down when the offer ends.

I personally dont blame AFC for other teams success due to lack of cost cutting. The buck stops with UEFA and their Pussyfooting. So much talk about the clubs being punished for their terrible Finances but instead of coming down hard on the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid or closer to home, Hearts and Rangers, they pick on clubs that wont just tell them to fuck off. Like ordering Brechin city to destroy 'the hedge' becuase their pitch isnt wide enough to host UEFA cup games. The apparent 'silverware that clubs have won since we started the cost cutting about 14years ago Dundee utd - 1 Scottish cup Hearts - 2 Scottish cups and 1 second place finish (their debt is 3times that of ours and rising) Kilmarnock - 1 Scottish cup Livingston - 1 League cup (Financially fucked and now just promoted back to the 2nd division) Hibs - 1 League cup All other trophys went to the old firm. Now if Platini finally grows some balls and starts hitting clubs from Italy, Spain, England, Scotland (and any other places full of debt ridden teams) with sanctions and the AFC situation doesnt improve then Ill jump on the bandwagon

Id give him a testimonial just for goal at Parkhead in the scottish cup. Whats another pointless friendly against a mediocre english reserve team?

Oh dear god hes following Alex Millers managerial tactics Didnt work 13years ago and it wont work now

I would prefer people think before they used the terms 'legend', & 'legendary' AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Black sabbath can all be described as legendary. Bunch of cunts in boilersuits and masks cannot

Are you suggesting Gene Simmons & sting are not celebrities? (PS no they havent died)

Slipknot bassist Paul Gray just pegged it Apparenlty Slipknot are now being referred to as a 'Legendary' US Metal Band

Are you seriously asking that? ??? one situation will see him potentially make money one situation will see him lose money. which do you think is which?
