Breaking News - New Stadium and Training Facilities

[Mason89]

Yeah I accept that depending on the wind direction, some areas can get wet, but even vertical rain hits half the seats in the South stand.
Surely an opportunity to reduce that impact.

Fan zone, comfy seat, warm food, drinks, roof over your head....just get Red Tv with a VPN

You don't get vertical rain in Aberdeen do you?

God min, you've missed out the main reason for the move.

Less seagulls in Westhill.

Does anyone wish to hazard a guess how much wiggy is going to charge us for a ticket at this shiny new stadium with state of the art facilities?

I would reckon at least between 30 to 40 quid considering we have to pay around 25 quid just now for a stadium he describes as having inadequate facilities.

Shiny new stadium or not 30 to 40 quid is pretty steep to go watch us play Partick Thistle.

What are you basing those figures on? The new stadium wont mean an increase in prices, just because the facilities have got better. I would very much imagine that the ticket prices will stay roughly the same as they still need the fans to come through the gate. There arent many of us of who will pay the prices you are quoting and the club will know that. The cost of these new facilities will likely be covered by what we spend to upkeep Pittodrie every season. Of course, i dont know the in's and out's of costs etc, but trust me, the price of a ticket will not shoot up to 30-40 quid.

I hope you are right Stupie, as it would give more fans a reason not to go to the football.

I was assuming the prices would go up as they have done for other clubs who have moved to a new stadium,no one including Milne himself has told us how the club is going to pay for the 20 to 30 million it will cost for Kingsford.

I prefer to go to games and support the club as opposed to your personal choice

[theoninedog]

Any of the 14:55 brigade sussed out what the latest cut off point will now be for throwing another pint oer their throats,
prior to kick off in Kingswells ?

Milne and McInnes quite clearly havnt thought this new plan through properly...

My personal choice just now is work. Unfortunately AFC don’t pay me to turn up.

What they haven't thought out is just how many fans go to Pittodrie as part of a day out.

Take away the rest and they might just lose more than they think.

Your work doesn't impact me in anyway shape or form.
You could get a job in one of the Kiosks I'm sure

I'd still rather attend the games in person and be part of it.

There's nothing like seeing McKenna's screamer, live in person, far better than highlight clips
Or McKay-Steven's goal the week before.
Even Niall McGinn's goal was a cracker and hardly talked about because of McKennas cracker, but much better live than watching in an atmosphere-less video clip or even on Sportscene (shudder)
