Don't understand those getting all worked up about the money. Stewarty and Gilbert have more money than God. The money is not the blocker - it's the f@@kin' eejit NIMBYs and Martin Ford style gobshytes that are the problem.Quote:

In fact the stated capacity has decreased from "21,000" to "up to 20,000".
Money is an issue.Quote:

You will tend to find that those with lots of money have a habit of not wanting to spend it... businessmen like to use other people's money rather than their own!
The fact that there's planning issues, money issues, artist impression issues, shows that it's amateur hour in Aberdeen
Meanwhile, just about every other club in Scotland has relocated or redeveloped.
This new Stadium and Complex is Stewarty and Gilbert's legacy. Don't worry about the money - they have it covered.Quote:

looks like we'll be the first stadium to have it's roof blown off in a high wind.
Shouldn't that be the Willie & Elaine Donald legacyQuote:

Leaving that aside there is still no explanation on the funding strategy-! Aghast at that.
Anyway, I'm generally not a negative poster but I feel it's a good thing to push the board on these details instead of just sitting there and taking everything as read - I sincerely hope they get it right in the end and we don't end up with a tinpot set up that's not befitting of a club of Aberdeen's stature.
Stadium funding.
£20 million -approx sale of pittodrie
£10 million naming rights /debentures
£10 million Private investors /share issue
£6 Million mortgage
The hardest part wil be to get 6 to 8 million to get first stage training complex
Done, we might get share issue at this stage.
Approximate costs , this is happening , if as been mentioned its design has similarities to Ghent ground
WOW..
Check out on you tube atmosphere at Ghent champions league game..! 20k capacity as well .
