Penfold

According to planning regulations NO

 

Stadiums need to meet a certain standard when it comes to access roads and parking etc. Calder Park will be accessed from a shared road which will split the cost of upgrading the existing road and roudabouts between cove and Aberdeen. The several hundred parking spaces in the complex will also be used by the stadium.

Take out Calder Park and the stadium master-plan and the feasibility study can be called in to question

The planning application for the new stadium (which has been granted) makes no mention of requiring shared access or parking from any other development. Infact, AFC had agreed to fund a controlled parking zone around the area (30min walk "distance")to prevent fans parking outwith the stadium development site. There are two access roads into the site. The one from Wellington road and the one off the roundabout at the back of makro. The junction with Wellington road will obviously take some development however this is the opposite side of the stadium site to the Calder park proposal and is clearly not dependant on that proposal. The second access from the roundabout behind makro already exists up to the site boundary. It's currently blocked off with some large containers. The Calder Park proposal provides no further access in/out of the combined development sites.

Can the stadium itself not be built on its own?

According to Milne, no...

Council have voted against Calder Park.

A no to this kills off the stadium we've been planning for how many years because of a shared access road? GTF. Milne knows this is going to be voted against and is using it to cover up his failure to secure funding for the stadium.

0-0 aet Morton on pens

Would take the money in a second. Which is about 10 seconds quicker than he can release a pass once it's available. Slows play down a lot and usually misses the opportunity to play someone through.

Always wants a fee more seconds on the ball and for some reason a lot of people mistake that for composure or some shite.

Pished

Wasn't paying football debts a condition of transferring oldcos SFA membership? Why were they granted membership before these were paid?

6-0 win over St Johnstone today.

Was pissed of when I saw langfield was starting. Was pretty happy h ing heard we seemed to fight hard but were unlucky, but am furious now I've seen the goal. He's a fucking joke.

Apparently the new tv deal represents only a 10% reduction in income for most clubs. Saw an article from a St Johnstone fan breaking it down an they will be the same financially (taking into account tv deal and no home games v Huns)  if they were to finish 1 place higher and get around 300 extra fans per home game.

In/Oot: Oot

Prematcher: Driving down to Edinburgh

Match: Might see if I can catch some of it in a pub

Postmatcher: Stuff in Edinburgh then driving back up the road.

Prediction: 3-0 Celtic

I still think the club should have used the Man Utd game to boost the figures for County. Should have been first priority (for Man U tickets) for ST holders, then people who had a Ross County ticket before going to general sale.

Will be more interesting to see the figures. Since they have not been released they are either really low or haven't reduced very much at all.

I take it ESPN still have their matches over and above this 30 Sky have?

Renewed today. Thought I was in with a chance of the 6500th when i checked it at lunchtime but it hit 6500 just as I was leaving to go down 

Had to choose another seat for the Ross County game. Was very few seats in the RDL left for it which is promising.

There should just be a huge banner with:

YOU ARE NEXT

They want a full house for the opening of their "new" stadium.

They will have agreed to move the red tape over a few rows.

Whether they actually will do it is another question. In the past I've had a ticket for a seat which was taped off in the segregated section.

We should be at least in the race for 2nd going into the last few months of the season. Really can't see where any other SPL side has strengthened while if we avoid injury problems we will do much better.

Being reported by journos on twitter that it's a 12.45 kick off

That's fantastic news if Hughes is out of contract in Jan. I was under the impression he signed a 3 year deal when he came. He can get to fuck in Jan then - horrible player.

I don't really understand why they should be punished as they are a new club?

If they want to transfer the SFA membership then they are the same club. If they want new SFA membership they need 3 years of accounts.

well the bbc statement doesnt answer all my questions

 

Have yon currents actualy backed down and said 'fine investigate our cheating and we will also pay our debts to hearts, Vienna and co'

 

Or is it going to be a rolling temporary license for the next 10 years?

Huns have rolled on every issue. EBT investigation/punishments to come, TV package agreed between SPL and SFL, 12 month signing ban etc. Temp membership allows them to play this weekend with next Friday the deadline for all the legal formalities to be dealt with before allowing them full membership.

Best place for new/repairing tyres?

Free or just to their "redtv" equivalent subscribers?
