Breaking News - New Stadium and Training Facilities

[rico94]

There's a couple of new images of the official website. Looks like a similar sort of design to the one proposed at Loirston.

Im all for moving to the new stadium but the bit in that article made me laugh "The single tier, fully enclosed stadium will dramatically improve atmosphere". You cant blame Pittodrie all together for the atmosphere in some matches, Im sure the new stadium will have the same atmosphere when its half empty and all you can hear is moaning and groaning, no doubt one stand will become the new south stand in terms of atmosphere in some games.

Doesn't look like a 20,000 seater stadium to me. More like McDermid park, 10,000 max

Will be far too late now, but to save some dosh and in an attempt to appease the W.A.N.K.S and provide better community facilities, you’d have thought AFC would have been far better siting the training facility on the Lawsondale pitches right next door, which could be for the exclusive use of the club during the weekdays and Westdyke Community Club at the weekends and evenings.
The location of the stadium is okay, but there is a massive piece of land at Lawsondale, with a pavilion already there, and the area is already well screened by trees. Everything would need massively upgrading, but a better option, in my opinion

I thought they were going to give a detailed plan of the ground.

just looks like some unconvincing knocked up artwork

This is the only plan on news outlets just now, and as you'll see its the same scheme as Loirtson - they've changed practically nothing fundamentally.

Aye exactly. Everything about this project just disappoints. Lack of imagination and creativity - probably through actual lack of funding. Never mind UEFA 100, I fear this could ruin the club.

An out of town stadium will only work if it isn't sh!t. Stewart Milne hasn't done anything that wasnt sh!t the whole time he's been here, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Im turning against the idea.Without a decent transport link its going to fail

Also the pictures look sh@t. St Mirren park springs to mind

I like it. I thought it was going to have oval shaped seating and every part of the stadium would feel the same but by the looks of it, with 4 separate stands but still full enclosed, it's definitely going to have some character. Get the bloomin spads in the ground.

Worryingly McDermid-esque those images.

This has to be done right guys..........
