Lose the will to live! Thinking Milne must have had an affair with your wife or you really are the king of NIMBYISM and the person behind NoKingsford. Milne will be gone within 15-20 years; our club and stadium will be long see him out.Quote:

Baffling people are still asking for arguments against a stadium next to Westhill.
There is no evidence whatsoever that crowds would remain at current level with everything that a stadium 6 miles from the city centre entails.
Thought people were allowed to have an opinion, or has that ended?Quote:

Aberdeen 'may play European games in central belt' without new stadium
Aberdeen FC chairman Stewart Milne has warned the club faces playing European games in Glasgow or Edinburgh in future.
He was talking at a campaign launch to support a new stadium to replace Pittodrie, which he said will soon not meet the criteria to host Uefa games.
The £50m stadium and training facilities would be at Kingsford, close to the Aberdeen bypass, near Westhill.
However, objectors have called for the club to look elsewhere.
A decision is due to be taken by councillors in October. A pre-determination hearing will take place on 13 September at Aberdeen Town House.
The new campaign - called Aurora - is being spearheaded by former Aberdeen manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Other options
Mr Milne, speaking at the launch, said of the forthcoming new stadium ruling: "The consequences of a negative decision on this will have massive bearings on the future of this club.
"At some point we will no longer get dispensation to play European games here.
"Our options are to play in Glasgow or Edinburgh.
"What sort of statement would that send out? What would our fans think?"
A decision is due in October after a hearing in SeptemberJohn Thornton, of the No Kingsford Stadium group, said: "Obviously the decision is up to the council, if they act according to planning law they will reject this application.
"There is no economic benefit for Westhill.
"There are other sites they can look at and they can still redevelop Pittodrie."
Objectors say concerns include traffic and parking issues.
One positive from the stadium. Away minkers behind the goal where they should be
There is no evidence that crowds will drop either?Quote:

More people choose to sit at a freezing Pittodrie for the pigs, sevco and European games and have for years and i cant see why that would change. Our crowds wont rise because its a shiny new midden. Initially for the novelty but it will be back to the status quo after

typical building standard nowadays , just plonk the corners on top of the entrances.
not that I would imagine this is what it will look like in actuality.
I'd tend to agree.Quote:
