The by pass being finished.............

Good one

I am referring to the new AECC location,

Putting a football stadium in the old location would be interesting,

Coming out of a concert there at the moment takes an age!!!

Lived next to that site for most of my life, Road lay out is pretty good. Busy in the mornings but that would have no effect on the stadium.

Think it would be a decent solution if theres enough space, also quite a lot of levelling out would need done.

Not too far from dyce station either sure it wouldnt take a lot of planning to have shuttle buses from the station to the stadium.

Can only assume that the next part of the master plan is to get langfield on a diet of some sort 

South Stand holds almost 9000 fans. RDS holds 6100.

You cant just close 42% of your stadium and say 'problem solved'

 

Main stand would follow fairly soon after losing another 3400 and the merkland isnt in great nick either (all 3 built on foundations not ideally suited for sandy soil)

 

You close one and the domino effect will start as you have set a precident

 

And Tyrant it is possible but the rebuilt stadium complying with all the current regulations would have a capacity of about 12000-14000 with no room for future expansion.

 

I personally dont see a problem with a smaller stadium given out average crowd is borderline 10000 but the Club and so many others would see it as a step back

Correct, but the whole of the south stand cant be a problem? You can enter from either side so dont see the problem with closing the most effected / run down side?

Surely a better solution than closing part of our best stand and then moaning about repairs to a crumbling stadium?

Domino effect or not, surely if somethings broken, and somethings not broken you use the thing thats not broken first?

My suggestion was for re-development, if the south stand is the worst stand then i see no reason we cant come to some solution to redevelop that side of the stadium, Making that the players entrance and moving the boxes over there! Then you can put a shitey stand where the main currently is.

Surely more cost effective than moving to a stadium thats going to be far to big for our requirements and putting us under more financial pressure.

This line has been trotted out for a good few years by the club,

If its costing that much to maintain (for arguments sake the south stand) simple solution would be to close that part of the ground and use the stand we put ourselves 3 million into to debt to build.

Fit Likey,

Can only think what the trauma would be like getting over there for a midweek game!!!

Would make sense if we had a bye pass like........

Think we are 15-20 years too late in deciding to move, most decent sized chunks of land in favourable areas are now Industrial estates.

Ideally best solution would be to work with what we have, Given that we havnt sold out in 5 or 6 years now i'd have thought we could get away with 15-17k capacity now.

Considering traffic in and around the city centre and given the fact that portlethen and inverurie both have train stations and are on decent duel carriage ways i cant help but think it might be better moving outside of the city limits!!!

Not really an avenue i'd have considered before, but trying to do anything in cove / altens during the busy periods is just stupid.

Could rank the places in order by location in aberdeen where would be the worst place for a football stadium, Loirston would rank pretty highly on that list.

Missed the boat with this one, all the decent land in Aberdeen has been bought up by property developers or industrial estates.

Still at least the stadium looked good on paper. 

At times during 2 out of the three homes hughes has been playing further forward than our wingers......regardless of the formation, its nae working and needs changed, we realized quite some time ago vernon up top on his own doesnt work, he needs someone to feed off.

Fa the fuck are you like, stone cold steve austin 

Clearly you are a fucking zoomer then 

At best its a 4-3-2-1 but would be more inclined to agree with those saying 4-5-1 due to how far back our wingers are having to sit, the way we are using them is pretty fucking pointless because by the time they get up the park not only are they getting double marked, so is vernon!

4-3-3............indeed 

4-3-3? Really? Suppose thats the formation scotland adopted on saturday as well then?

Never a 4-3-3 in a million years.

Yesterday I heard an utterly horrible and nauseating rumour that Langfield has been promised first team football next season.

Hopefully not for us! 

If you were dropped for Langfield you would be taking a look at your future too..........Maybes not in football. 

Fuck Him.

Tesco awaits  

Failed to score in 18 of our 38 league games,

Must be a record for us of some sort.

Craig - nobody gives a fuck about top 6.

However we do care about the scottish cup - so hows about you pipe the fuck down and concentrate on that instead.

Usually a fan of jack but thought he gave it away too often, not helped by fyvie also having a mair. (no typo )

Mind you think fyvie has been hung out to dry this season as its been clear since day 1 of the season he either cant or wont play on the wing.

Hmmm his passing was indeed dreadfull - however keeping mawene out of the team so any complaints about distrubution will remain muted 

Think Mcardle was ok, despite his obvious failings as a full back, vernon did the best he could and looks sharp at the minute, But apart from those two fail to see any improvement in this squad to the last three, if anything would say browns team last year would murder this one.

Think you are getting hughes confused with jack 

Maybes its because chalali is fucking garbage.

Any chance of us winning that game left when hughes went off. 

MOAR STRIKARZ 

Whoooooooa FISHING TRIP

Amazing what happens when the manager has a clue what he's doing. 

Aye because Brown would have done the same job with the same backing as Mcghee.

Good een  ;D

Who said anything about Mcghee?

Mcghee was not the only manager not to receive the appropriate backing from the board.

YA DIG
