New stadium thread

Loirston chosen for new stadium

Aberdeen FC set to move

EXCLUSIVE

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€

  • Aye, I hate those odd numbers, like 17,000.

  • Kinda off topic, but it's related to Aberdeen planning to cut capacity to 16,000. Been having a look at the season ticket prices at Hearts, Hibs and ourselves.  Hearts have sold 17,500, Hibs

    Personally think the comment about the new urban park was ill advised. Aberdeen city doing something to improve the beach area that isnt a retail park should be applauded and to see it belittled

I have no doubt Kingsford would be great for everyone who drives, doesn't drink and goes to the football for no social reason. Stinking location for everyone else.

 

As far as I can tell the club's final shuttle bus update serves 8 direct journeys. This isn't what the roads authority last said was required, which was routes covering the whole city with pick ups along the way. If they go into the hearing with 42 buses from 4 locations around Union Street, I think they'll be told to do one. That's so clearly not going to happen, especially over time.

 

The support for this I read online all appears to be from people talking about driving from elsewhere.

 

It isn't going to be a stadium and travel that people love*. The number having to be ferried from the city for every game for decades to come is enormous. The cost of this? Ticket prices will also be going up and up. How much for a ticket and bus from an inconvenient location to an inconvenient location? I'm very concerned about the ramifications of everything to do with going to the game over time.

 

*Not really sure why they've not done the stands or at least one of them steep like the consensus was? Not enough safe standing as well, or none at all, and the whole thing will be a disaster.

That is just the sort of crass, bonkers mind bogglingly stupid comments I have come to expect from any of these morons in Yes Kingsford or yourself.

You're the one talking about punching people in faces. Sort yersel' out ye walloper.

They had to lower the height to appease the W.A.N.K.S.

 

Safe standing will go in if the Tims experiment is a success.

Ahh, as well as living in the back of beyond, wanting to see your club destroy its historical Stadium you also cannot comprehend words, sentences properly and love to twist contexts about persons/people/me wanting to 'punch people in the face' - typical Yes Kingsford grossly manipulative attitudes. 

 

Total fabrication - lies, lies manipulative lies.  Make yourself look like victims.  Just like this all-for aurora borealis nonsense -lies, lies.

 

The fight against "Kingsford" goes on.  Get your head around this - enjoy the video during your lunch.

Guess who's back - he's back again.

 

Throwing insults.  Manipulating words - falsely accusing 'me' of wanting to or me wishing to 'punch someone' in the face. 

 

Lies. Not true.  Total fabrication and manipulating words.

 

Bitterness, hate you feel that anyone disagrees with your opinion on Kingsford eh?  Sitting in front of your computer posting your hate to anyone you associate with No Kingsford.  Manipulating things, contexts to meet your agenda.

 

You Garlogie Granite - whoever how you are.  Swooped on my posts on here from Day 1.  You've thrown insults about, shouting regular bitterness at anyone that disagrees with Kingsford.

 

Spewing bitterness and hate to anyone that disagrees with Kingsford.

 

Laugh of it is you call yourself an 'Aberdeen Supporter' - total fraud.

 

If you want to continue to manipulate posts, words and associate it with connotations about 'punch' then continue. Keep doing it, do all today and next week.  In fact take over this thread with your manipulative garbage.

 

I ain't editing anything you embittered twisted nutter.

Come to think of it - two can play at that manipulative game.

 

'Simmie and Durrant' - on your username.  Eh, what would Daily Record think of that eh?

 

Using hate towards Rangers and that infamous incident in Oct 1988 in your username eh?

 

"Simmie Durrant" eh - visible in anything you post eh Garlogie Granite - condoning hate eh in your username?

 

Dangerous man.

And that's a post from a guy whose username is a Michael Palin 'Twit of the year' character.

 

 

You do realise that everyone has Simmie and Durrant on their user name?

 

It's the Donstalk equivalent of "Likes" (and dislikes).

 

You've regularly asserted in this thread that "it's just a forum". You're correct. So calm the fuck doon.

Thanks for that, it was either Gervaise Brookhampster or 100% YES to Kingsford but I thought having your opinion as a username was a bit shit to be honest.

Wonderful post. Thanks for brightening my day with these words - especially during lunch.

 

Great Pic as well - very funny.  Quite amusing.

While you're having a meltdown, any reponse to the random figure you came up as a ticket price for the new Kingsford stadium? Or was that just a whooooooooosh as well?

 

Honestly, never heard the term whooooooosh used so much since my youngest was in his "look how big I am" phase, which was about 5 or 6 years old.

Guess who's back - he's back again.

Lies. Not true.  Total fabrication and manipulating words.

 

Didn't accuse YOU at all of wanting to punch someone in the face, I even quoted your line there, no manipulation.

 

You said quite clearly you thought DMc should be punching someone in the face if this falls through. My question was, should it be "you"? ONE. SINGLE.WORD.

 

You then decided that my question in response to your crass post should be.....

That is just the sort of crass, bonkers mind bogglingly stupid comments I have come to expect from any of these morons in Yes Kingsford or yourself.

 

One word, is crass, stupid, mind boggling?

 

Go and have a lie down, you're going mad.

Come to think of it - two can play at that manipulative game.

Guess who's back, back again · Shady's back (oooops, sorry better not use word shady to describe him/her in case he/she gets mock outraged).

 

Basically, you are typical of Yes Kingsford side. You've been coming on here with your very own brand of Yes Kingsford drivel for ages jabbing your views and cancerous opinions on this bloody stadium for ages.  I've barely finished pressing the keyboard on whatever post I do and you're in throwing about your childish, nothingness worthless insults or accusing No Kingsford side, or those who have views not cognisant with your views on Kingsford of whatever.

 

Its a load of words. Worthless online garbage and totally insignificant.

 

I don't agree with your posts, and in the real world you are not a person I would associate with in any way and if I found I sat anywhere near you at Pittodrie I would A: Change my seat or B: Request a refund on my match ticket.

 

You - as I have mentioned before are like a lot of the Yes Kingsford side - you are a worthless and love to manipulate words to feed your agenda about Kingsford.

 

But two can play at a manipulative game of words if you want?

 

Stop replying to my posts - can't think of any better solution to this daft bickering Yes/No arguments.  As in the online virtual world on Donstalk (Catlogo Granite man/woman) as in the real outside world. 

 

I have no wish to associate with you whatsoever, I disagree with you, I don't like your views or your opinions - so stop replying to me.

 

Have a nice life.
