Fair enough.

I yield to your local knowledge and chastise myself for ever doubting Aberdeen City Council would finally allow anything other than flats and retail parks to be constructed.

It’ll still be a shambles. Beach bouley at the bottom end closed for good - transport plans for a stadium closer to the beach will need to be well thought out.

I'm seeing on the BBC Sport gossip that Aberdeen's plan to sell Pittodrie will be rejected by the council. There's a link to a P & J article there, but I'm not paying to read it.

The link shows some articles , can read freely, If this is the latest it says council finance boss challenges Dave to find buyer himself:

"If Dave Cormack needs to raise capital to fund the stadium, he should be looking to the private market to sell Pittodrie.  If he was confident in it's value I am sure he would be able to sell it."

Mr Cormack turned down the chance of a reply

.........

quite right too (of the council bloke)

That land isn’t going to be worth much, especially if the buyer needs to cover the demolition costs.

Still never going to happen

From the outside, it looks to me Labour are using Cormack to paint the SNP/Lib Dems in a bad light to win them votes in the next council election.

Labour have previously done little to move on Aberdeen's stadium plans and I doubt we'll see any progress once they're back in power.
