Or it widnae be far fae The Skean Dhu Hotel, Allen's.....if that's still on the go.

It's about 3 miles from the city centre and as others have said not a great choice of pubs nearby. Probably the easiest thing is just to stay in town and drink in a pub there and then jump in a taxi to the stadium, which should only take 10 minutes or so. If for any reason you are struggling for a taxi the number 3/3A bus runs from Market Street (the street between the train station and the harbour) up Wellington Road and get off opposite the aforementioned Wellington Hotel and about a 5 minute walk from there to the stadium (same in reverse to get back to the train station).Originally Posted by Mason89
Alternatively if you can't stand the thought of cove huns celebrating winning the league I do believe there is another game on in town that day....

Or the old Skean Dhu* Altens hotel right on the roundabout (maybe now called The Coast & Keg). You could do both Wellington Hotel, Skean Dhu and then walk to Balmoral Stadium. All within 1/2 mile of each other.
*It was called that when I had my wedding reception there in 1990 so I am sticking to that name.

The Gordon is now the Wellington Hotel, on Wellington Road, about 0.5-0.75 miles from Cove’s Meccano set ground. I’ve not been in for a few years since I worked in the area, but the scoff was OK for carnivores. As visits were usually professional lunches, I can’t comment on the beer offering.
The Skean Dhu is now the Thistle, and whilst nearer than the Wellington, is pretty soulless.
I hope you skelp the ****s’ arses, but have my doubts.

Ta for the info. Trying to get the clowns I’m going with there after a boozy train journey, sounds like it’s going to be a pain in the hole. Might see if they fancy an afternoon in the pub watching the vidiprinter. It’ll be odd being in Aberdeen for the football & not watching them

Is there a social club at Sevcove's new grun?
It was the social club in Cove that propelled their initial rise from the amatuer ranks.
I'm guessing that shut with Allan Park?

Yes there is a social club at Balmoral Stadium and its very good. It can cater for at least 200 people on matchdays.
Proper Aberdeen fans though should be at Pittodrie on Saturday and not attending Cove v Dumbarton although I get why Mason89 would want to see Dumbarton play there.

It was arranged months ago. I’m not saying this to be @rsey but we go to a Sons away match once a season, in memory of a friend of ours. Happy to suspend my proper Aberdeen fan status for the day. Sheep sh@gging b’stards that you are

Yes, when they became moaning, entitled squatting tenants of various grounds around the area, before Immoral Park was built. Waankers
