THE Evening Express can today reveal the preferred location for Aberdeen’s new community stadium.

 

The £38 million community facility, which will become home to Aberdeen FC, will be at Loirston Loch in the south of the city.

 

It follows a year-long series of feasibility studies to decide if the site at Nigg would be the best location for the stadium.

 

The report on the recommendation of the Nigg site will now go out to consultation and will be referred to the council’s policy and strategy committee on April 28.

 

A number of other potential sites across the city, including one at King’s Links, were examined by Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeen FC and it was decided all of them were unsuitable.

 

Aberdeen FC managing director Duncan Fraser, who is also a member of the Arena Project Advisory and Monitoring Board created to advise of the best site and stadium design, said: “These recommendations have still to be approved and at the appropriate time, there will be a full consultation process with fans.

 

“Their feedback will be important.â€

I'd like to think he would do the honourable thing and jump into the wet concrete as they lay the foundations...

Bud........................thankfully I have better things to do with my day without grammar checking, spell checking posts on here.

 

Why people do it is a touch ironic given that a lot of folk in Aberdeen spik in some weird dialect that defies laws of English grammar

 

Hook, line and sinker! 

 

We still pronounce the language infinitely better than the English who supposedly invented the language. Most of them can't pronounce Rs which is why many with English as a second language can't understand them.

Racist

...or add an extra one to words like drawRing, which grates my teeth every time I hear it.

Or add a K sound to the end of words that end in ING like "somethingk" 

Get it right min.

 

SomeFink

Most of all it's the South East whine that gets me down.

 

no becomes Naowwwwwwwwwww

 

It's no use I can't spell it.

Apparently some event happening tonight called "Aurora" that some people have got an invite for. Derek McInnes, George Yule and Stewart Milne doing speeches to update on stadium progress, and everyone going will get a sneak peak into what the match day experience will be like in the new ground.

What they are going to spend ages waiting for a shuttle bus in the pissing rain then sit in a line of traffic?

'Aurora'

 

Sometimes referred to as polar lights or northern lights, is a natural light display in the sky, predominantly seen in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions.

 

In Greek antiquity, auroras were classified as chasmata ('chasm') or for manifold colours, 'falling red flames' and 'daylight in the night'.

 

In the traditions of Aboriginal Australians, the Aurora Australis is commonly associated with fire.

 

 

My favourite thing about Aborigines is that they hate eating food or meals around other people or in the company of family.  Food is eaten in private under a tree or in the forest retreat.

 

However, they don't mind having a shit in front of other people.

So pretty much the same experience you get from leaving pittodrie (if requiring a bus)

The oldest living race of humans on the planet summed up in a way that could have been taken straight from the colonial invaders whilst they carried out their mass genocide.

 

Could you not think of anything relevant to the topic in hand or is the sort of stuff you usually pedal as you make your merry way to the stack of Daily Mails?

 

woooooooooooossssssssshhhhhhhhhh

woooooooooooossssssssshhhhhhhhhh

 

Nah mate. It just wasn't funny/clever/interesting.

Are you telling folk fae Aberdeen what the Northern Lights are?  Next you'll be popping down to Tannadice to sell them some sand, no doubt.

Nice. Would look ace on Merkland road.

At least you have a choice of transport away from Pittodrie. Sitting in on a bus will be only option if new stadium gets passed.

you know what, I really can't be arsed trawling through the shite that's been posted on the various threads, so where exactly do folk propose we build a new stadium?

 

Lets accept that Pittodrie is a non starter, the footprint of the stadium does not avail its self to a nice sparkly new all singing all dancing stadium.

So, what's the proposals by all the naysayers?

Aberdeen FC is Pittodrie Stadium.  Our home since 1903, the centre of our club based in Aberdeen.  Every imaginable strategy needs to be explored to keep our home at all costs.  No excuses.

 

Our history, core and spiritual centrepoint is Pittodrie that should be cherished, polished, treated with care and fostered and developed for future generations.

 

Our home should not become student flats.

 

Our club should not move outside Aberdeen to St Mirren Park II.

 

Pittodrie Stadium - Home of Aberdeen FC since 1903 where football has been played since 1899. 

 

Personally, the history of the club means everything to me - Pittodrie Stadium is everything and that is something that clowns like Milne will never understand.  Kingsford is a modern build cheap piece of rubbish that hopefully will get binned come October despite the like #aurora desperation campaign.

 

Oh, and I am also not interested in paying £30+ to watch SPL - which is what it will be at Kingsford.

 

Aberdeen FC, Pittodrie Stadium since 1903. 

 

NO KINGSFORD!!!

The fly by video is cracking. Get it built and ignore the NIMBYism.

Aberdeen FC, Pittodrie Stadium since 1903. 

 

Only been called Pittodrie Stadium since 1971 by the way. Perhaps you should brush up on your facts.

 

Are you quite sure the history of the club means everything to you? It sounds like you don't know it.
