Breaking News - New Stadium and Training Facilities

[curvasud]

Did you realise, that when Pittodrie was initially built, it was outside the city as well.
It was not built on an available bit of land within the existing housing

How times change eh?

I've read this strange justification before. It was the same walking distance.

Don’t build it

With the impact being??????????

My point was that it is all comparative.
Yes, the same walking distance from the very city centre, but our fanbase is not centralised in town as it was then.
Even then, it's still would have been considered an out of town development and without the quality of roads we have nowadays I guess.

I think they had better links to it than we do now - trams and trains.

In 1899 when Pittodrie opened we had trams running down king street....you could walk from the city centre in the same time you can now ....there was trains to Aberdeen from Ellon / Peterhead / Fraserburgh/ Alford / ballater/ Stonehaven / oldmeldrum/ Inverurie/ Huntly /dyce/ culter/ Buckie / Banff .....getting my drift ....very easy to get to ....heard wiggie trying to say Pittodrie was out of the way to get to when it opened ....****ing arse can’t even get that right

It's pointing out that when Pittodrie was built, it was "out of town", not even on a grass field but a dung heap.
As with all progression of civilization, expansion goes outwards.
It's not hard to get to Westhill is it?
