"Aberdeen fans deserve better" - couldn't agree more Mr. Yule...
"
pittodrie is an old stadium" - so is parkhead, Ibrox, Easter road, hampden and tynecastle.

Please be advised, Westhill is in "the country" - nobody is leaving Pittodrie soon.
New main stand. Problem solved ( pitch, dressing rooms, offices etc)
Don't believe the hype - these people are behaving like it's a done deal - there are very real issues with kingsford- and some of them are insurmountable.

Would you kindly just ƒuck off and divide. Your getting a bit boring now

No need to swear.

New training ground at Westhills.

New Main Stand.

Fraction of the price.

What's wrong with that? It's the model other major clubs in Scotland use so surely that makes it a realistic option?

I think this has been done to death. There was a lot of debate on other boards re re-development of Pittodrie with the conclusion apart from a few dissenters that it was a no-goer. Architects planners etc contributed saying that building/safety regs would preclude a proper re-development due to the lack of space. Plus there is the money selling the Pittodrie site would bring in were we to move to a new site. All things considered we require to trust board on this one.

If this were the case and clearly proven, I'd be happy to move to anywhere in the city. Aye really in the city.

I'm perplexed at how everyone can't see how clearly we will never belong at such a location, and how bad it is. It would be the death of football as we know it. Like a w@nky miniature version of West Ham to the Olympic stadium.

Can you enlighten me as to which Architects contributed on this issue because as far as im aware AFC have never asked asked any firm of architects to execute a feasibility study. There clearly is space and to include 'safety regs' as a factor just doesn't add up.
It shouldn't just be swept under the carpet because if the decision goes against kingsford - the club will need a plan b. All business plans need contingency measures.

Thanks for revealing yourself as a troglodyte from the Shire.

Definitely the best option, people do not/will not want to travel in shuttle buses and the crowds will suffer for it.
In this world we now live in with everything being made easier and creating a lazier attitude amongst all, the upcoming generations will not accept obstacles of buses or time consuming travel to the outskirts of the city.

I've thought this before and it's very right.

Saw some club official on twitter ask what future generations would want. Well, they're far more lazy and have very low attention spans. A very poorly connected location and sh!t travel is probably not the right option for the future.
