Don't know whether this would be feasible in terms of compensation payable, but what about this for a picture:
for a picture? fuckin awful
for a manager on a budget? fuckin awful

Will always respect the fact Aitken managed the only Aberdeen team i've witnessed winning a trophy but by christ he done fuck all with some really talented players.
don't, Aitken was a fuckin abortion as a manager
-
But anyway, that Snelders was a right cunt, he played for Rangers don't you know
ah

Here, I checked Google Streetview for you:
Those roadworks are finished now.
tell you what, read my post again, i've now stated which part i am talking about twice, then go and google stretview it again
-
I stopped at this point, cause that bit of road has been duel-ed (Is that the correct spelling FJ?) since the start of the year, so I assumed the rest was just bollocks.
aye, well done, the dual carriageway on Wellington Road starts after Charleston
it's single carriageway from charleston to the A90 northbound, with heavy traffic two lanes of vehicles will be merging into one lane
-
Longer for who though? Lets ignore any possibility of a WPR 'cos there's no guarantee of that. At the moment, to leave Pittodrie you have King Street, or round the beach through Market Street somewhere either down the A90 or North Deeside Road, or west via Hutcheon Street, Westburn, Lang Stracht, or Great Northern Road out kintore way. All of which create an immediate bottleneck and are nose to tail until you clear the city boundaries.
Loirston however will provide easy exit for anyone to the south, they benefit immediately.
Anyone using north or south Deeside road will be better off.
Anyone heading west on the lang stracht route will now do the drive, then Queens road probably, they will be much the same or marginally better off.
Anyone walking to the ground will be the same, so let's swap the city centre residents for the gadgies of Cove, Nigg and Kincorth, no loss or gain.
Those heading north or along the Kintore corridor will be losers almost certainly.
Loirston exits onto dual carraigeway's, first Wellington Road, then of course the A90 where most fans will head for. It will work fine, and better than now, where you exit onto busy city streets that have a lot of shopping traffic thrown into the mix as well, those extra vehicles will be largely missing up there.
Finally, I would imagine number of fans taking a car would be less if anything. Your average city centre dweller tends not to have a car, they will bus it, your average Cove/Kincorth resident has a car, they will walk.
There are two places to park, a car park at the ground or on street in Cove, maybe three if you add Kincorth which if you’re lucky and manage to park at the southernmost part is 3km away. If you park in the car park at the ground you have two directions to go to get back into the city, that’s after you’ve managed to get out of the car park, south to join on to the A90 and north to go up Wellington Road. I doubt very much if the traffic that goes south would be able to join the A90 without stopping at the give way line due to the volume of traffic. Due to needing a considerably larger gap in traffic a car joining from a stop position will need more time to join the dual carriageway than a moving car will, adding to the congestion back to Wellington Road which goes to single carriageway at Charleston. Southbound traffic and traffic leaving from Cove will meet at the roundabout, although there is the coast road out of Cove the vast majority would head to Wellington Road. Let’s say there were 2000 drivers, 500 head south, 500 head south to back into the city, 500 leave the car park to head along Wellington Road and 500 park at Cove, 1000 cars would meet at the same time at the Cove roundabout which has traffic signals which run on a say a typical 90 second cycle. Each stage gets an equal amount of green time, in that 40 seconds maybe 20 cars [more than likely less] will get through the lights from a stop position, that’s 40 cars every cycle, it would take roughly 37.5 minutes for the vehicles at the rear of the queues just to clear the signals and that’s not including any local traffic, half the amount of vehicles and it’s still nearly 20 minutes. Those that do use the coast road will come out at Torry and will be faced with traffic signals at Market Street. Market Street is a class 0 road and the heaviest trafficked in Aberdeen and as such the signals will be set for priority for this road, leaving Victoria Road as a side road. Sometimes when there is congestion and traffic moves very slowly detectors for the traffic signals have difficulty in picking up the slow moving traffic, the controller for the signals then thinks there is no traffic waiting to get out of the side road so reduces the amount of time given to the side road and therefore adding to the congestion.
At Pittodrie traffic isn’t immediately forced together on to the same couple of roads as there are more areas to park. Cars parked on the Esplanade head to the Bridge of Don and Beach Boulevard, those parked in Seaton/Linksfield can access King Street from either Seaton Drive, School Road, Linksfield Road or Pittodrie Place. Those parked at Castlehill can get on to King Street at Seaforth Road, Urquhart Road, Roslin Terrace, Frederick Street and East North Street, they can also use the Beach Boulevard or Commerce Street. Those parked in Froghall/Sunnybank can leave the area at College Bounds, Sunnyside Road, Bedford Place, Elmbank Terrace, Fraser Place, King’s Crescent, Merkland Road and Orchard Street. Of course there are bottlenecks but there would still be more options open to drivers at Pittodrie than Loirston as all traffic heading north of the river have only 4 bridges to choose from, 5 if you count Milltimber.
Probably all bollocks though
-
Putting it that way, I see your point. Nothing better than getting in your car after a game at Pittodrie, and next thing you know, you've breezed home on empty roads in no time at all. I'll miss that.
you think it's difficult getting home from pittodrie? it'll take much longer for most from loirston much less roads to use and i would guess heavier traffic due to more fans taking their cars -
2. And if/when it gets built it won't just be a stadium that gets used once every fortnight, it'll be and do much more than that, so pubs & a railwayline will have lots to gain from it.
how many people do you think would take a train to loirston to go to a restaurant/cinema/bar/kid's play area/5 a-side's/golf driving range/whatever is built there? there's no train link to the airport. i never said a pub wouldn't get enough business, i said if there were several pubs they wouldn't get enough business.
-
But hey ho.... "Huck The Funs" must know something we don't.
no, just another ill-informed opinion. if you're reading theo, sorry, i didn't realise that rangers were the only club you could have signed for.
-
To class him as a cunt basically because he signed for rangers is pathetic. I get the impression that your one of you criteria for this thread to Just list every dons player that left us for Rangers no matter who they were
6 players mentioned, only 3 signed for rangers. no mention of doug bell, stephen wright or davie dodds. though i do apoligise for thinking that is wrong for aberdonians to sign for rangers and a for dutchman who had hero status with the fans and knew how they felt about rangers.
-
The two in bold certainly aren't cunts. If by "cunts" you meant amazing, then I'm with you.
Snelders was the best keeper i've seen Aberdeen, after years of devotion from Aberdeen fans he decided to sit on the bench for our main rivals for money, he's a cunt.
Cooper, signed for Rangers [mind you it was the only side in the whole world that he could sign for at the time due to Aston Villa refusing to let him sign for Aberdeen/The rest of the world] came up to the Aberdeen end after the skol cup final showing a fist with a bent forearm [i don't know what you call it, if there is a name for this sign], cunt

so long as they build a pub out there that's close to the stadium, and provide adequate rail and/or bus links to the stadium from the city, it'll be a good choice with plenty of room for future expansion and carparks and shit like that.
Pittodrie, Health Board, Bobbin Mill, Red Lion, the three golf clubs, Broadhill and Scotia are usually busy on matchdays so there will be a need for more than one, what would the bars do on the other thirteen days in the fortnight and close season?
There are three roads back in to the city from loirston, it doesn't matter how many buses are in service you'll be stuck in a traffic jam.
Afc can't afford a rail link to the stadium and network rail [or whoever] have nothing to gain by providing one, so it isn't going to happen

Doves - Kingdom of Rust
first listen 6.5/10, bit of a disappointment. Title track for me is the best, The Outsiders and The Greatest Denier are on first listen awful
-
I know. I was taking the piss out of those who usually trot out that line as their solution to how we can make money.
if the catering company was making more money wouldn't AFC charge them more for the contract? say the catering company was making £100,000 profit a year and AFC charged them £50,000, if the caterer's profit went up to £200,000 might AFC then charge £100,000 for the next contract? please note figures are for sake of argument, i have no idea how many pies are sold and i have no idea how much AFC charge and i also have no idea how long the contract is for.

John Bramwell on the 27th then Doves on 22nd April

What a pointless statistic.
what a pointless reply

Don't agree with that. He was not the best defender to wear the red of Aberdeen, granted! But he was probably the best defender we had at the club at the time. Beside him were an up-and-coming Russell Anderson who struggled to get back into his stride in the 01/02 season following a year out with a leg-break, Kevin Rutkiepish who was .... pish, Phil McGuire who was consistent but nothing fancy, McNaughton who was more cold than hot, and Solberg who was an extreme liability.
Of that bunch, Whyte was probably the best.
he may or may not have been the best defender at the club at the time, but it doesn't take away the fact that he was complete and utter derek whyte
-
I'd much rather have a Kris Boyd type player who does very little else but CAN put the ball away time and time again than someone who does a lot of work in the buildup but scores once a month
it's the player in the build up that allows the like of kris boyd to score
-
I hear Gandhi was absolutely top banana as a person, but would he have been any good at managing a fitba team?
Probably not.
was he ever given the chance?
-
Derek Whyte who (despite the ribbings he gets from us these days) was a bloody good defender and captain in the 2001-02 season!
he was fucking shite, i would have more confidence in langfield clearing the ball than whyte
