    I don't have a problem with the move to Kingsford location. I do have a problem with the proposals - if we're going to do it, lets do it right.

    Considering the reputed £40m budget for a figure of only 20,000 seats, that design is seriously sub-standard. Ironically, it looks in keeping with the context of the nearby industrial estates - and that's not a good thing. Add to that the rake of that stands (purported to be in keeping with Tynecastle at Loirston) has been altered, which will impact on the atmosphere.

    On the whole - where's the joy, excitement.....design flair?

    The ambition at AFC in recent years is laudable, and there is far more credibility at the club than there was 5 years ago - that's why I'm taken aback at this poor attempt at a new Stadium design. I know a lot of fans will be accepting of anything because it will be brand new in comparison to Pittodrie, but we should have higher aspirations than what is on the table.

    I hope it gets planning permission, but I also hope a condition is a re-think on the design, as we have a great opportunity and its not being grasped - for a variety of reasons.

    The big stumbling block is the £40 million cost, where is that going to come from? Also as you say for that amount of money the design looks lacklustre to say the least. More Milne pie in the sky.....

    I really don't know whether they're using the Kingswellites objectors as an excuse for them reducing the stadium to seemingly cheaper proportions.
    removing around 10 (or so) rows of seats , probably using lesser quality materials. The roof looks different from loirston . Don't think this one will be Lit up !

    To build the new ground on the basis of what the objectors may desire is ludicrous. They wouldn't want it even if it were totally underground.

    We either build it properly or not at all.

    It looks very disappointing , I agree.

    Regularly, just not involving AFC.

    The whole process for this new ground has been a farce. What gives anyone any confidence that the ground will be anything other than sh!t? I couldn't give a monkeys about the location but the ground itself will be sh!t. Stewart Milnes involved in it.

    Do we know who's paying for it yet?
