I guess the point he's trying to make is that if we wanted to achieve anywhere near the same levels, wed have to buy the flats out at the back. As I said earlier in this thread, pages and pages ago, it would appear that you could fit the new afc Wimbledon stadium on the site but you'd have to shift Pittodrie and probably knock the flats down due to light restrictions- as Tom says, making an existing situation worse.
All of which makes makes doing up Pittodrie very expensive. Selling that land was a mistake, although I'm guessing it might have kept us afloat during a time of need?
I will say this though, our scheme for AFCW had approval for a 7m wide "Street" for use as emergency vehicle access and matches access and egress. Something which I think, when it does get built will be a bit of an operational nightmare but those were the boundary lines fixed by the master plan and developers.
To comment on your last post, it would have been included within that figure but probably wouldn't have been made public. It would surprise me if it wasn't looked at one point but probably knocked back because realistically, say a 12.5k would be laughable.
