Didn't this whole sorry saga begin with a gamble that backfired , that Scotland would co-host the 2008 Euro tournamentQuote:

DNA fans paid for the training facilities
& now they want the rest of the local population to pay for an overpriced 3rd rate ground at the beach.
Never going to happen.
Although they had a real go at brainwashing people into accepting Westhill.
The Donalds must be wondering why they bothered.
I don't know what the boys* who donated Kingsford must be thinking.
* I'd know who they were if Cormack park was named after them.
I don’t think that that’s the case at all. I think that someone’s floated that rumour somewhere and it’s now being expressed as fact.Quote:

Further proof that Aberdeen has the biggest quotient of curlers-in, washing-oot, auld wifies spikkin shyte ower their gairden fences in the whole fuucking land. Just fuucking stop it.

Thanks, I was aware of only some of these - that’s my next chance I get in Aberdeen to explore planned!Quote:

Utter utter madness to be spending that sort of money on a sh1tty little stadium like that. Unless Cormack is going to fund the majority of it himself (which he won't) thankfully it is never going to happen, as the cooncil won't have the money either.
We just need to bite the bullet and come up with the best plan to spend money to do up Pittodrie on the basis we are there for the forseeable future (thankfully)
Pretty insane bullcrap isn't it. Wicks will be in for some bonus if he pulls that scam off. We have some amount of charlatans running this club IMO.Quote:

redo old stands at Pittodrie & find a new chairman , somehow
I'm open to all suggestions, provided we stay at Pittodrie.
Perhaps the P&J had run out of total b0ll0cks to print about Union Street so went back to the fantasy beach plan.
I don't even know what the point is in making an estimate for a project of that size at the moment. The price of steel has only just started to flatten out but I'm hearing rumours it could rise again to near £2000 Per tonne. A price tag like that makes a new AFC home-sized project out of the question.
I'm up for moving but only along the beach.
