If we get into europe

When we get into Europe.

Hypothetically just say £2 billion then!!!! FFS........the foundations are laid, the pitch at last is looking good after restructuring of the ground staff......there is fundamentally no reason that we cannot redevelop our home.....there is also no f ucking reason why our club train at barracks/Seaton etc to use that as leverage to build housing at our home and move our home to a field.......we should have had proper training facilities many a year ago.......most on here know I’m pro our coach, thankfully most also know my disregard for our chairman.

SF

Why not pick an even bigger number, like a gazillionbillion?

You guys come up with the figures then.
I'm pretty confident the nett outcome will be it is more expensive to redevelop Pittodrie

You brought up Dundee
.

No, Stewart Milne did. I think everyone’s following this apart from you

[afc1903mad]

Why would it cost double to redevelop Pittodrie of the cost to build a new stadium????????
Surely, if we even knocked Pittodrie down and built the new stadium on the same footprint, it would cost the 50m we have been banding about already (except the cost to knock it down).

Potentially I guess, if it falls within the same footprint, but as I said above, the nett effect will be it costs more.
Assuming the same costs, the club would still have the costs as you say to demolish Pittodrie, no sell on value, potential loss of revenue with reduced capicity during revelopment.

Like I said, I'm open to it being possible, but lets agree it would cost more and thus at the very least a commercial decision to move.

You're Stuart Milne? I would never have guessed that.
Never knew / seen Wiggy post in these forums let alone this thread

I don’t think it’s very likely that UEFA have told anyone at Aberdeen that they’d force them to play in Dundee.

Thats the club and managers fault

So the long and short of it is that Milne was talking out his @rse again.

We COULD redevelop Pittodrie like we all know, IF, we wanted to stay.

We also would not be forced to play our games elsewhere unless we maybe reached the semis (no sniggering at the back)...

To reiterate, Milne speaks p!sh

Totally agree. I wrote Milne a couple of times objecting to the move to Kingsford and he replied personally which surprised me. He even offered to meet me to discuss but I did not take him up on it as he was unlikely to convince me of the sense of the move and I can not imagine he would come round to my point of view. I still take the view that there is no reason why Pittodrie could not be redeveloped other than Milne's determination not to do so. I would rather we stayed with a capacity reduced to 12,000 ( which is nonsense, but has been threatened by Milne ) than move to Kingsford. I am a shareholder and have no intention of funding the new stadium in any shape or form.

Really?
You constantly predict us getting papped out of the cups and not qualifying for Europe.
The club and manager therefore have exceeded your expectations

Fair enough Wiggy, you're entitled to your opinion
