That's what I am saying, Re-Do Pittodrie. No asset lost. By breaking the project down into chunks the club can run things over as many phases as it likes. In looking at a few stadia one could easily find ways to put in restaurants and or pubs that could be open to the public year round and help pay back the cost of construction. No easy feat that's true but give it a whirl.
I actually saw on Football Factories where 1 club in Austria(I think?) has leased out a pub to its biggest supporters' club and the place is always busy...
Like I said, come up with a way to make it work!
My Highschool Economics class came up with a way to save our local drive in theatre (and it worked). Surely the Dons Supporters can come up with a way to capitalize and construct the new Pittodrie.
