Just as a point of clarity.
I believe Pittodrie meets category 3
Page 28 of the attached regulations state
http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/...5_DOWNLOAD.pdf27.01 Unless stipulated otherwise in these regulations, matches in the competition must be played in a stadium which meets the structural criteria of the following categories as defined in the UEFA Stadium Infrastructure Regulations:
a. category 2 for the first and second qualifying rounds;
b. category 3 for the third qualifying round and play-offs;
c. category 4 from the group stage to the semi-finals.
So we're still good to play at Pittodrie beyond our recent QR3 level and into the play-off round.
However if we were to reach the group stages, we would need dispensation, else have to play at Murrayfield or in Glasgow.
Please stop wasting my time making things up.

Group games all over Europe are played at grounds that don't comply with various bits of regulations. Chelsea played a Champions League group game on Tuesday and don't comply with pitch size or the totally made up 5 metre run off.Hearts have used Murrayfield in the past for some Uefa Cup encounters and with Tynecastle's capacity only 17,500 they are keen for more fans to see them in Champions League action.
Hearts chairman and acting chief executive Roman Romanov said: "One of our main considerations has been how we accommodate so many supporters and give them the continuity that is so important when they are planning for our European campaign.
"Despite the natural attractions of Tynecastle, we do believe that our fans will come out in large numbers for our first European game this season at Murrayfield and there is certain to be a great atmosphere in the stadium.
"If successful in the second qualifying round of the Champions League, we would then hold all our subsequent European home ties - whether that be Champions League or Uefa Cup - at Murrayfield.
"The facilities at Murrayfield are also much more appropriate for European football and we are delighted to have negotiated a suitable deal with Scottish Rugby in order to showcase Hearts, Edinburgh and indeed Scotland to the rest of the world."
Milne is a liar. Stop believing the sh*te he says.
Hearts old chief executive said it would cost £35.8m (£50m taking into account inflation) for a new main stand so they had to move. They are building one for £12m. Ring any bells? "Council planners would also object to any expansion of the McLeod Street Stand beyond its present boundaries." Incredible similarities and you all lap up Mine's nonsense.
I dont believe a word Stewart Milne says full stop. Hes a c@nt
There's also confusion in some quarters over Pittodrie. "Fit, we spend millions for a 12000 stadium that we might not get dispensation for?" Nobody's saying do it for a 12000 stadium or for a pitch that's too small. There isn't a shred of proof it would be 12000, nor an explanation over the cost of doing a 18/19/20000 one however it would be possible. It's easily possible on our land if you don't restrict the location of the stands. Un-hem in the merkland and main stand. I'd set up a direct debit to contribute to it like Hearts do. Nothing has been explored. There isn't an explanation as to how our new stands would cost 5 times what they do elsewhere.
Folk have been pulled in by this pro Kingsford hate Pittodrie campaign. Modern out of town grounds are dreadful. Fvck, even some very near to the team's old home with great transport links are dreadful. Real fans of clubs everywhere that have moved to them say it yet Aberdeen fans are desperate for a slice of it. There's no pre match atmosphere or build up in the city and pubs. No excitement walking to the game with thouands. No fierce sense of this is our home when visitors come to the ground. No spirit in the stands. Soulless garbage. Football ruined for all future generations of Aberdonians.
So our slight bothering of euro football is fine at Pittodrie then. Groups aye pull the other one, we have proved that's way beyond our capabilities
If we build the stadium (which again ill state I don't think we will) theres a fair chance we wont be in Europe as the money wont be going toward the team but paying off the stadium so Europe wont be an issue.
Awesome, I to sit my arse on a beach for 2 weeks ! Come back and you lot are still giving this ćunt airtime. ignore the bellend FFS
he is sitting laughing and masterbating behind his screen at every one who replies.
