Breaking News - New Stadium and Training Facilities

Council planners have backed it and advised the committee to green light it.
Its happening, end of.

Can half of you stop moaning now and start backing?
didnt think so...

People who are moaning and genuinely worried about the future of the club due to the location and debt....I honestly hope people will not be on forums in years to come saying to people like you ' told you so'....as our club turn in to a Kilmarnock /Motherwell etc to....

Now saying that I hope we can now try and make the best of this as we can for us fans...properly designed stadium with safe standing for all the young ( and old ) fans who want to sing and stand at games.....surely the club can see the benefits of a proper atmosphere ?
Get a fan zone for the kids with different activities ( was at a New York red bulls game not lot ago and their stadium is in the middle of nowhere so they put on all this activities for the young fans).....get the transport sorted properly ....increase the capacity of the onsite pub as 600 capacity is nowhere near enough....oh and at least this has fvcked off the NKS pensioners 😜😜😜

The board have already said they were looking at a safe standing section and there is a fan zone planned for Kingsford behind the home end. You should be able to get a pint there as well - Hibs have had a beer tent outside of Easter Road this season so there's no reason why there couldn't be one at Kingsford.

At the moment The Junior Matchday Club (where kids get training at Linksfield before the match) usually sells out quickly. Continuing this at Kingsford with larger, better facilities would be ideal for getting kids interested at an early age. Getting folk early to the stadium for a pint and training for kids would be help ease traffic congestion pre-match as well.

Personally I am happy if it goes ahead. Pittodrie is becoming outdated and tired, gazillions of happy memories from there, but time to move on.

The “moaners” are only saying what they feel, no harm in that.

Transport is undoubtedly a major issue which I hope the club properly think through.
Hopefully the match day experience will be enhanced as AFC should have a captive audience of like minded people (a sales persons dream).
Hopefully the Red bar will be for 1,000 people as for a lot of us, that is an important part of the day.
The debt (between £20m & £25m?) will be paid down on a manageable mortgage type loan (unless some rich board member pays it off).

Can't see safe standing working to be honest.

Can't see safe standing working to be honest.

I don’t think they’ll entertain the idea. They’re really not keen on fans having fun inside the ground

[DonVincenzo (The II)]

If were moving (looks a stick on now)...then what is the point in wasting energy trying to complain about it happening.

Instead, either dont go anymore if it doesnt suit you, in which case stop moaning about it as thats just being selfish.
OR
get behind the club and make it as good as it can be...which might not be exactly what we all would have wanted before this started, but it is what it is...

Were all AFC fans, and this is the one time the club need us all behind them if were going to make it a success.

If the moaners who end up going to the games anway just continue to moan, we will end up with exactly the thing that you were moaning about.

Surely tae christ we can all be on the same page for once?

[Mason89]

We would all be on the same page if the whole thing wasn’t half @rsed. They’re gambling with the clubs long term future here.

That's the problem. Plus those that are happy about the move (which is fair enough) seem to be happy with anything they are fed. Once in a lifetime (or three) move and it looks ****e.

[Lairdoharthill]

Perfect was a redeveloped Pittodrie with more style and atmosphere plus much better transport infrastructure.
Possible is Kingsford.
Sometimes perfect can’t be allowed to block possible.
Time to get behind the project.

24 no. hospitality boxes (each with a notional capacity of 10 persons)
Hospitality Suites (total c. 1355 sq.m)
Supporters’ bar (215 sq.m)

Plenty room in the supporters' bar while waiting for the shuttle buses.

It's got at least 15% of the space of the hospitality suites.

Hopefully the Red bar will be for 1,000 people as for a lot of us, that is an important part of the day.

Eh no, it's 215 square metres in total, which means 1,000 people would be as crush loaded in the bar as they will be on the shuttle buses to get there in the first place.
