More speculation & wishful thinking. Not worth risking the future of the club over though is it?
You’ve not supplied any credible evidence whatsoever to back up your fairytale ending. We might end up with a club the size of St.Johnstone but with 30m debt.
+ the pain in the arse getting there/parkingQuote:

My argument is I would have to drive to every game and having a day out for the fitba would be a thing of the past. I only go out for a drink when its Pittodrie related so it would seriously alter my fitba viewing experience and social life. That's my issue with Kingsford. Always has been. Oh and it looks utterly sh@te
So aye if I want a day out on the beers and a game of fitba I might choose the Locos or Turrah over Kingsford not doubting that. Ill still have a season ticket but someone else can get the use of it that day my seat is always used even now when im offshore and we are at Pittodrie. I still pay my money to the club and will continue to do so.
But its okay ill be at Pittodrie in the Y for years to come yet. Im sure of it
I moved to Meldrum 5 years ago. Since then I have never failed to park in Froghall or Nelson Street. I can get a bus that takes me to Hutcheon Street. I can walk down and stop off for a few beers. Plenty of pubs to pick.Quote:

Prior to that I lived in Ellon, I never once failed to park in Froghall or Nelson Street. I could also get a bus that dropped me off on the doorstep of Pittodrie or outside a drinking establishment. I also have never been refused on a bus as it was full like some claim to have been on here. Prior to my driving and in the days of having a ST with my old boy, he never failed to park on Orchard Street or the street near it with the bowling club (name escapes me).
My auntie is from Ellon, always parks at the Leisure centre
My bro and his missus are from Ellon, if they drive the always get parked at the boulevard. Or they use the aforementioned bus
So aye its a c@nt to get to and hard to park at
It was your argument you wcould use them as in the middle of you and PacBro.Quote:

On one hand I get it, you pay your money, you get the value out of it, however its also denying Aberdeen the potential chance of another sale / increasing attendances.Quote:

First point, hypothetically if I did go to Formartinks its 5-10 mins away via a lift or taxi.. Not two busses and hours away. Im sure theres a bus service to Ellon run by Bains now that I think of itQuote:

Locos is 5-10 mins away via lift or taxi and there is a bus also on a Saturday which id guess would be around 20 mins.
Second point, various people use the ticket, I give it to a person who pays but he lets his loons mates come or his missus or whoever. These people are not regulars. As I have never seen them when I have see the taker of my ticket when I'm there,The club will not be feeling the pinch anytime soon, I just don't see the point in wasting it when I'm away working or on holiday as I will be for sevco in Dec. To be honest I like the fact someone goes who usually doesn't. My bit for society
HmmmmQuote:

Most of them there seem to be saying the same as us, no evidence of any approach to the Dons.Quote:

McInnes' backroom team won't be welcome at grayskull and McIness' success is in part due to his backroom team.
Either way it won't work, as the sectarianism in their club & support will stymie it.
