“Pittodrie generates around 400,000 visits every year but the report suggests that bigger and better facilities could bring an additional 350,000 visitors per year for major events alone.”
Is the council still not on the hook for knocking down the AECC and building TECA to attract more visitors for major events?
Knocking down a beachside stadium, leisure centre and skating rink to build a beachside stadium and “community leisure complex” about 100 metres away doesn’t seem like something that will almost double the amount of visitors, especially if they’re relying on the increase coming from major events which would seriously disrupt the TECA business case.
That said, I’m now an Aberdeenshire Council tax payer so let them crack on.
