Aberdeen stadium decision awaited Stadium image Loirston Loch in Nigg is the recommended new site Councillors are set to vote on plans for a new home for Aberdeen Football Club. Land to the south of the city - Loirston Loch in Nigg - is the preferred location of two options for the new 30,000-seat community stadium. The alternative site of Kings Links was deemed too small and expensive. However, the AFC Trust - a group for fans - has warned that an online questionnaire suggested attendances could suffer if Loirston was chosen. The club has claimed staying at Pittodrie - the home of the Dons for more than a century - is not an option. A series of feasibility studies have been carried out.

I've not really kept up with this topic as i dont live in aberdeen and have no idea where half the places are. I have no idea, i'm pretty sure they agreed on 20,000. I'd much rather see 25,000 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgowdon Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Fairly certain we were looking at 25k seats with the option to add more should we host anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Fairly certain we were looking at 25k seats with the option to add more should we host anything. That would be far more logical. I'd be happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Surely we'd need funding for the ground first... Exactly, planning permission isn't involved yet! They could have been voting for the fucking thing to be built on Union Street for all the fucking difference it will make. But fair's fair, they didn't defer or say no.

Has there been any talk of what will happen with the land Pittodrie is currently on. Surely it won't become more Milne flats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
