Breaking News - New Stadium and Training Facilities

[Barnared]

I also think will happen this time..feels like it. The club have been super quiet about this despite all our moaning and probably why they have taken it upon themselves to put themselves firmly in the public firing line again. Sounds to me like there is a lot more movement behind the scenes then they have told us publicly. COYR

Even the council seem to have done a very positive economic impact study to pave the way for a potential green light at planning. A lot seems to have been done under the radar. It's almost as though we've gone to the council and said "right you b@stards, where the phuk can we build?"

Said before, the timing is very good as you have both the main parties by the balls, as they ramp for for the local elections in 12 months time.

Cross party support was always a key target and that looks to be the case. Another big project may re-appear as well, which will please me greatly.

As Milney said in his interview, following the debacle of 2012, the City is finally waking up and realising it needs to act now and capitalise while it can. Clearly in the intervening years the deflated Oil price has put the sh1ts up the Council-not before time.

Our day has come Willie Young, Barney Crockett.

Well, the first NIMBY letter has appeared in today's P&J where, (ironically!!) a Stewart Milne (you couldn't make it up) has painted a picture of a "quiet dormitory town" where a new football stadium will dominate the landscape, roads and every other aspect of life in the area.

Let battle commence.

There'll be plenty nimbys to appease in the local elections, Gallus. That must be a concern? If the funding is achievable and the stadium design is something other than a foldaway box in muck I think this will have near universal support. Need to see some meat on the bones first, though.

[Barnared]

It is possible that the council are just playing us again, with the election coming up....

I'm sure I read somewhere that they can use the designs of the proposed stadium at cove? I may be completely wrong though. The nimbys will be my major concern in all of this. The announcement and follow up articles since have been a orchestrated pr piece to get the public onside. I am really hopeful that this time we will be in a new home in 3 years

The Loirston stadium design was horrific

[DonVincenzo (The II)]

Milne, we never saw the full designs so thats a bit harsh. I actually thought the exterior looked immense, as long as it had corners filled and a nice tight wraparound from the inside.

A cold cemented St Mirren Park we need not..

I'm convinced plans were released of the stadium interior. It was very bland and uninspiring.

To be fair they were done using an Atari ST.

Forget about that Gent ground. We will never have something that looks as good as that in the North East.
