Your question wasn't whether fans hated it, it was there were no UK examples of out of town stadia. I gave you five or six.Quote:

You just fired off a list of newish stadiums, some out of town, some not. None of which are comparable to what we’ve got planned.Quote:

That is exactly what we should have done over the last 20 years but Milne never intended redeveloping Pittodrie. Instead we are supposedly moving 6 miles out of town to a stadium which can only be accessed by road. If it does not work (and I have my doubts) the very future of the club is at risk. Since the early eighties we have gone from having one of the best all seated stadiums in the country to one of the worst due to Milne's neglect.Quote:

UK examples would be better but just to save you the time, there aren’t any
Still waiting for one.
