Here's hoping we get close to the 18K that McInnes and the team want

Elvis leaves Fleetwood after just nine months on charge. Kept them up as well. Signed 10 new players ahead of their new campaign!

Correct, hopefully they'll show more soon enough. Interested to see the section anyway.

Priest killed in Normandy today.

Trained with the first team today, McInnes described him as being "fine". Hopefully underplaying it

Away leg only. So some fun Ole Ole link will suffice

Nah, it's just 20,000 all seater. I think the club (stupidly) said a while back that they weren't going to have any safe standing

Despite being a cyclist myself (Hi ED and TC ) I can't really see the point in providing it at the football, or any other major venue in all honesty for the very reason you've outlined above. Cycling through Arsenal traffic after 5's is a nightmare. It's a nice idea, but won't work. They should have reduced the car parking further though on the basis that they should have organised suitable public transport. 1,300 spaces is a lot for a society that is trying to dissuade people from driving. Edit: and the colonnade should be interesting, I hope they don't have to fill that all up with fencing / gates. PVC wrap (similar to the Olympic stadium which worked very well) looks good. With regards to the proposal itself, hard to see much about it and those corners have potential to be quite bland, but the general masterplan seems logical. Am I the only one that seems surprised that they haven't allowed for a proper indoor facility - multi use space doesn't count? A few folk on fezbook questioned why it's on 20K, I think the figure is bang on given the amount of games we actually get anywhere near that figure. Better than having a soulless bowl.

Hmm, interesting, think these must be taken from the consultation viewing?

The away leg will be televised on Premier Sports (19.15 UK time).

Think you'll probably be right about the game. I'm still not trying to get too excited about it all until it happens.

Can't see us changing much in terms of the line up, but the defence seriously concerns me. Maribor are no mugs so we'll need to be on our game. Hopefully see a decent crowd at Pittodrie for it too. I know McInnes was hoping for 17-18k This is why our defence concerns me against a team like them: https://twitter.com/nkmaribor_en/status/757307594448965633

Can't tell anything on the highlights about aucho but the goal we conceded?!? Fuck me. Awful. We had about 7 players in the box for the corner and they had 2 and score. Our goals were well taken.pawlett reacted angrily to the challenge, seemed to slap the guy in the face who then tried to head butt him. Both deserved to go.

A few folk on the fezbook page seem to think he was decent. Time will tell I guess! Have a feeling Reidzer might be right in the end...

Was he any good then?

Absolutely agree with the bits in bold. Would love to get Hector come back but as Rico said, I think that ship has long sailed unfortunately. I also don't think he'd be the answer. As you say, we need an experienced head and as highly as I rate Hector, he's still relatively young and would need another one alongside him. I think Taylor's only attribute is his height, don't think he does anything else but cause panic. We've seen Reynolds could do it, but whether he could do it again, i'm really not sure. I'd disagree about who to punt though, I'd punt Taylor and Reynolds.

That and he's been pretty shite or injured for two years is a good enough of a reason as any to move him on.

Sounds like there may be another body on their way soon

Would have loved to have gone, only heard good things about it and I quite like the look of their stadium. Used it as a precedent a few times. Needless to say, this is going to be fucking tough! They are no mugs. Maribor highlights from last night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM_kc22obNw

Sounded like a very professional performance from the team and dm. Subs contributed and we're unlucky (from what I heard) not to score. Now to see where we end up! Only concern, we really need a centre half, Taylor is a nightmare. How did Reynolds play? Brown seemed very pleased with his performance.

Good to see more of the newbies getting on

Stream stopped so listening to redtv, sounded like an ace stop!

my streams were doing the same. thought it was user error but I guess not. The audio quality is woeful too

I see Burns has a hamstring strain too (according to my app). Pawlett has to be on his way out.
