maverick sheep Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Might have been said elsewhere, but anyone know if there's a final figure for capacity figured out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowie Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Looks a bit overkill for the 1st division? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfold Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Might have been said elsewhere, but anyone know if there's a final figure for capacity figured out? Aparently it mentions it will be 21,000 capacity, a Uefa Category 3 stadium and have a "supporters bar". Anyone been able to access the info via Redweb?

maverick sheep Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Sounds no bad. Even though I still don't fancy the whole idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Wasn't loading for me on AFC.co.uk either. Its not an inspiring set of images, but hey ho, surely it must be better than Pittodrie is. We need a new stadium, and lets hope this is just another step closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggy89 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Fuck me they truly are trying to suck every single little bit of soul out of the club aren't they. The design for my new kitchen got me more excited than that. Shit football at an uninspiring ground we'll be lucky to get 21 folk along there never mind 21000. Please tell me it's nae real and someone knocked that up on google sketchup in 5 minutes this can't be the result of 15 years worth of planning.

daytripping Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Looks ok to me, corners filled in and pretty enclosed, pity they can't build it in Aberdeen though, will be a disaster for the club building it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgowdon Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 At least it has a bar, would rather drop money in a club bar than some squat hole in the city centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizer Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 The parking is separated into 3 areas each with its own junction and road. Park and ride from several places in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggy89 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I might be missing something but where are the training facilities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow sheep Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I might be missing something but where are the training facilities? who ever said anything about training facilities. The Supporters bar seems to be "groundsman accommodation" in the 2nd pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick sheep Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 who ever said anything about training facilities. The Supporters bar seems to be "groundsman accommodation" in the 2nd pic So THAT's why our pitch is such a mess! Suppose I was a bit quick to say it looks ok. Just looks like a stadium. I really fuckin hope it has some character about it though. And the 22nd April document 'Pittodrie no more' lists adjacent training pitches as a key feature of the new place.

tom_widdows Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 who ever said anything about training facilities. The Supporters bar seems to be "groundsman accommodation" in the 2nd pic You do understand the concept of ground and 1st floor plans? Supporters bar to be accessed from the seating area with additonal entrances from the carpark Groundsman facilities based on the ground level allowing them easier access to the pitch. Of course if you are atempting humour I shall edit my comment to an equivalent one about medical proceedures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I thought that was the main reason we had to have the ground in the middle of nowhere. A dream scenario was a scaled down Ricoh Arena esque design with indoor training facilities where the IEC part is on the Ricoh. The least I would have expected is a couple of dog shit strewn grass pitches!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptayles Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Looks not bad but Im totally in favour of changing the laws to allow terracing in top flight grounds. Would be miles better to be able to stand behind the goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Pictures look good. One of the reasons we'll have to move out of Pittodrie is because of the state of the pitch. After tonight, it appears to be growing season tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
