Breaking News - New Stadium and Training Facilities

[afc1903mad]

there better be a fans section with bars etc though I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere by AFC hope its not a case of people assuming.

It was in the plans.
A fanzone and a bar

Ah, so you'd get rid of an excellent sports facility on KLGC instead of building on waste ground at Westhill? Makes sense :/

Sorry I really couldn't give 2 hoots about a driving range for about 10 folk if I have to go to Westhill to watch football.

It'll take you just as long to get to your car park and out of it

Very ****e for those that live in the city as well whether by car or bus

I accept it will be an inconvenience for the minority that live very locally to Pittodrie.
For the majority, it will be a vast improvement

Maybe easier to get to but parking and getting out will be a nightmare.

In the USA, at all sporting events, and even for larger churches on a Sunday, they employ off duty cops, (in full uniform mind you), that stop all traffic to let fans/worshippers, in and out.

Somthing similair can be adopted at Kingford.

Change is going to happen. Some folk will be pissed off I'm sure. But it will happen.

It will be a inconvenience for everyone who has to bus it which is 4988 fans.

Much less convenient for drivers from the city.

Very inconvenient for anyone who does stuff except go to the game and go home. Virtually no social aspect left except meeting at the ground.

Virtually no social aspect left except meeting at the ground.

This could be construed as a positive.
Socially meeting at the ground and bringing that extra revenue into the club must be a good thing.
I recall there will be a fans zone and a bar in the plans

[redscot]

fans zones, club bar and shuttle buses....

That's fine if we are talking about other traffic but I'm meaning our own traffic all heading out of the car park. Cue half the crowd leaving 10mins before the end.

All the chat is pointless, if you support the team, you go! Those who already experience all the difficulties brought up here are not complaining, just those who don't want change or feel aggrieved because their bus/walk won't take them straight there now! A huge proportion of the support (most of whom don't chat on here!!!!) will have a better experience of getting to and from the game particularly those in Shire/north/ south which going by a survey was 47% of the support....many toonsers will use the shuttle and x17.....we can have a beer at n town before one at the fanzine....perfect!

Moot point.
There are thousands who shoot off early at Pittodrie to beat the crowd.
