Being so inconveniently far from the centre of public travel and pubs is stupid.

I would say a few pubs would organise busses to Kingsford. they aint goin to be best pleased all us Dandies heading out on a match day heading for the single pub at stadium when we can drink their beer till an hour before K off. I think anyway ken?

As if there was any doubt what AFC are up against...

Tonights big meeting to show support against the stadium had a 300 weak crowd and I Quote Dod Yule "We were not invited to the meeting and apparently no-one in favour of our proposals was allowed to speak at it to counter some of the mis-information"

You're all doing the same thing but the other way about

PEOPLE DON'T USE BUSSES!!

72% currently drive to the fitba, Kingsford is on the corssroads of TWO dual carraigeways (not single track road as you alluded to). transport links couldn't be any better.

'fraid not, the Kingswells for Kingsford meeting was open to the NIMBYs, and they were allowed to speak.

Report in the Presser this morning about the Westhillier NIMBY gathering at the Holiday Inn last night.

Oh no! Appears there may be some double yellow lines added to Westhill streets and other parking restrictions .... :O

Je Suis Linda's Parking Space!

See they are planning a protest when Councillors visit the site next week. Excellent. Presume you'll be there, Stan?

That's not true.

AGCC survey was 61% travel by car and the percentage on buses for big games is higher, and likely to be even more at Kingsford.

If you want to grow crowds and have people turning up and spending earlier it needs to be easily accessible by public transport.

You don't use buses.

Which dual carriageway do you use to get to the city centre?
