Another missed opportunity imo.

so many blurry and happy memories from that place

I was actually talking to someone about this the other day. Mainly due to the amount of injuries etc...united seem to be picking up. It's probably got to the point where players are now too athletic to the point that slightest knocks cause larger injuries. Case in point, Luke Shaw rolling over his ankle.

Lost 4-1

Hamilton are clearly doing something right at their club, doing well in both SPFL and U20's. Great to see our guys doing so well though. How many of them would be ready for the fringes of the first team? Obviously we've see Smith, Shankland and most recently Gibbons.

Nice touch. Hope everyone joins in.

I'm still amazed how those cunts got away with it. Hearts have shown those scum bags how it's done, and fair play to them. I really hope to fuck that sevconians miss out in the play-offs. Horrible team, much like their predecessors.

Brutal second half but good to see some of the youngsters get a run out. Don't think scott brown had a save to make. Most importantly, 3 points in the bag and keeps it very tight at the top. Shame Dundee didn't get a point at the tim dome yesterday.

Team news: Brown, Taylor, Reynolds, Smith, Jack, Rooney, Considine, Pawlett, Hayes, McGinn, Goodwillie Have to say, given the players available thats probably how i'd like us to start. Robson isn't even on the bench though, he injured?!?

Definitely. Higginbotham being back for them is a massive positive for them, have to say i'm quite nervous about this one. Is Anderson back for this one?

Just lost to Hearts, they now have a 9 point lead over the blue meanies Ian Black conceded a penalty as well, what a joyous sight it is seeing them all so miserable. Typical Huns, resorted to trying to injure Hearts players once they realised they weren't going to win it. Lucky to have ended with 10 men, but weak referring let them get away with it.

As in which day is which game? How haven't they worked this out yet?

Indeed it is. 20K seater stadium, first phase being circa 11K (the west stand - permanent) being built with 3 temporary stands being utilised until promotion is achieved. Fully appreciate that Tom. This design has been tested in the event of an emergency in different scenarios. Quite certain the plans are out in public domain now, or at least they will be in the forthcoming week or so. Will have a scan through that link to see what the club are up against.

Wow, you're in a good mood today

I'll reply in full later, but as I said, we've overcome most of this on a scheme which featured on the main page of the BD on Tuesday. The footprint isn't too dissimilar and only 10m away from residential units (not our design). But again, this would ideally lead to the temporary re-routing of Pittodrie street, depending on what was below it.

Hence why I was saying moving the road would allow the club to breathe / develop further. Currently, I don't think we need more than that.

Emotionally, i'm definitely a stay, but it's a black hole for money at the mo. We missed a trick by not buying the old gas works site behind the SS (shows how long its been since i've been ) which would have been perfect for us. Currently, I can't see Aberdeen providing sufficient infrastructure wherever we end up so remaining is perfectly logical. I do think Tom is right, proper consultation does need to be had to ensure we don't ostracise a majority of the support all in the name of modernisation. It needs to be honest though, if such a thing is possible. Lets face it, we don't need a 20K stadium, 15-18 would be more than sufficient. The biggest problem as far as I can see is Pittodrie Street, whether club would be able to provide another route before closing it off I highly doubt. But importantly, despite being a very costly exercise it would allow the club to breathe a little. Obviously it does depend what is below the ground there...

Of course, I forgot it's long gone hasn't it? As I said, it would be a more expensive option, i'm just saying spatially it could work from comparing (albeit on googlemaps...) areas.

Agreed Tlg, a lot of great goals scored. I always had a lot of time for Crespo and was very sad to see him go. Haven't seen how he's been getting on down here mind

As Tom has already said, we redevelop Pittodrie, we will have to severely reduce the capacity with no chance of any future development. However, with all that being said, there are ways to deal with this, but it would involve closing Pittodrie street temporarily and buying up the land behind the SS. A project I am involved with in South West London deals with the relocation of football stadium, albeit within a new masterplan but incredibly tight site. I'd actually be interested to see what space is available to us and compare what we've done there. But this would mean we would have to play elsewhere for at least a season and cost an absolute fortune.

Oot Flat (bed) Flat Flat (possibly bed) 2-1, Hayes

I see Bernstein is calling for England (and others from UEFA) to boycott the next world cup. I'd genuinely agree with it, FIFA need to be brought into line. Though I can see it just leaving England completely out in the cold, especially if that oxygen thief Blatter is still around.

I thought it was a brilliant film, first half as you said was excellent, but didn't mind the second. Some good comedy moments within it as well.
