New Stadium Latest??

[TheDeeDon]

Not really about attracting people to the city it's more about how much they are going to spend when they are here for whatever event may happen to be on at the stadium on that particular day.

We're in the wrong business. I reckon who ever does these reports that are commissioned must be making a killing.

"How much would the new stadium generate for the local economy over 10 years?"

"Dunno mate, a billion?"

"Sounds plausible and it's a nice round number, cheque is in the post"

I get what your saying, but not the part I'm getting at.

He is using the new stadium in the context of attracting people to live and work in the city as they are struggling to get and retain staff.
When he speaks of renewables, he really means Oil and Gas, as they have all diversified away from bad oil now

I suspect Brexit was more of an issue for Aberdeen and most other UK cities for firms struggling to get staff.

If they built a stadium and redeveloped the beach front tomorrow, the firms would still be facing the same issues.
