Breaking News - New Stadium and Training Facilities

[donsdaft]

Surely any investment coming into the club is good, whether it was for redeveloping Pittodrie or for the new stadium.
It all goes towards offsetting the costs

Utter b’ollocks

Every penny that goes towards Westhill is another nail driven into AFC’s coffin.

Here’s that advert I was talking about

In our Stewart Milne home
We’re always making pasta
Always chasing
Always saying “share”
Always tidying up
Always in the garden
Always Happy


Always puking more likely

I don't know - filling Pittodrie with a winning team?

Good Idea, but a few risks and issues: -

1) Sustainably filling Pittodrie with a winning team - We generally never sell out Pittodrie, even when we had a very successful team in the 80's

2) Reduced capacity - I'm sure there would have been times when capacity is reduced as the stands were redeveloped. That could have reduced the revenue. Hearts arguably did very well in building around the old stand and delaying the impact. When there was an impact they managed to use Murrayfield for a number of games. I guess we could have ground shared with one of the Dundee teams for a wee while

3) How long would it have taken to show the same level of nett profit from the increased attendance and increased costs of rewarding a successful team. Given our annual accounts, I'm guessing it would take some time to replace selling Pittodrie

That's your opinion and potentially shared by many others.

I'd like to think that whatever the outcome, there will still be a club to support, whether it be at Pittodrie, Kingsford or East End Park

Jesus christ. Is that an advert trying to flog his ****e boxes/hooses is it? 😆

[Mason89]

Filling Pittodrie doesn’t really have much to do with the quality on the pitch

Aye, hooses in Portlethen

It was so bad I cut it out of the paper and kept it.

I'm in agreement with you there Mason.
As shown by previous periods where we had much better quality.

Please scan and share for a laugh.
I remember looking at a couple of Stewart Milne hooses many years ago and quickly determined that you could get better value for money elsewhere

I'm a bit concerned aboot fit they are "always chasing" 😁
