New city centre plaque to commemorate the meeting that founded the Dons, and a heritage trail to visit the pitch locations that the club, and its previous incarnations played on in the city (Pacman will be first to collect them all).
Good work from the Trust.

Aye fine, but why plan a museum at the new stadium, why not have it in Aberdeen?
There's definitely nae room within the current Pittodrie for it. The Trust has in the past discussed offering local exhibitions in Aberdeen and in the NE, but the cataloguing of the artefacts (fit happened to Arty?) without the space to do it, or store them in the conditions that they need for best preservation, presents the Trust's volunteers with a hoorin difficult task, bless their 1995 navy and red striped first team socks.
Loirston's plans included space for a museum and 'learning centre' (the latter description ticks boxes for funding from various bodies) and I think that Alford East has notional space allocated too. The Trust would then be responsible for raising the dosh to kit it out, and concomitantly (**** you Traynor, I was using that term when you were still getting your erse kicked by the sub-editors at the Airdrie and Coatbridge Buckfaster) the funds to manage and run it, including new exhibitions, interactive displays and other white man's magic offerings. It seems that a glass case with Stan Williams's 1947 cup-winning jock strap inside is less appealing to the digital age millenials than taking a penalty against a virtual CGI of Joe Lewis.
I know good work is done, I was only being cantankerous.
CGI?
No don't answer that, I sort of understand and I don't really want to know.
Remember the old museum beside the cowdray hall? I used to love it in there when I was a kid.
Stuffed owls in glass cabinets have a limited appeal nowadays you say?
Still, at least we never spent £1,000000000000000 puting a rusty square broon box on top of the art gallery.
Now, that really took talent.
