Breaking News - New Stadium and Training Facilities

[afc1903mad]

The moaners aren't expecting too much. If we are spending £50m then it should look good and be designed for a better atmosphere than what we have at Pittodrie.

To say it's irrelevant is mental.

What design changes do you think should be incorporated to improve the atmosphere?

I think you at least need a short course in architecture.

I'm not an architect, but there are plenty in here bemoaning what the atmosphere will be like or how the stadium aesthetically looks like.
I'm just keen to understand what they believe is required to get a stadium that meets their expectations

Have to say some of the statements coming from the club are bizzare, just saw this on the ee,

A new report linked to the application reads: “In the remain at Pittodrie scenario, a future attendance of 8,500 is assumed vs 13,476 in the move to Kingsford scenario.”

Not sure how they have worked that out, just seems like they have plucked the numbers out of the sky.

I read the on-line EE article . It only proves how incompetent afc are , when they are now saying they :
"will also put in part-time traffic lights where the road meets the new AWPR junction."
Had they really previously expected all the fans walking from park & ride to be dodging traffic to cross the slip road !!!!!!!

Grasshopper & FC Zurich - looks nice. Hooring expensive though.

Grasshopper & FC Zurich - looks nice. Hooring expensive though.

Indeed, were budgeting £50M and includes the training facilities / pitches etc
