That Tory bastárd is toonser Michael Gove, friend of Charlie, E’d-up clubber, ex-Lang Stracht journo, and NUJ picket. All very polite, all very friendly and that.
Now, in today’s ***** (edit: Sibo censors ‘peněs’ now) & Jockstrap, the Minister has revealed that he has already held discussions (in January) with our chairman about a new stadium at the beach, which is now almost completely air-brushed from the council ‘masterplan’. Brother Gove, “revealed he has spoken with Aberdeen FC chairman Dave Cormack over the Dons’ hopes of creating a new stadium at the beach, for which council financial support currently looks unlikely. He said, “I’m sure that a path through can be found.”
“Mr Gove…refused to be drawn on whether taxpayers should help pay for the ground, which is predicted to bring a billion-pound boost to the local economy in its lifetime. He said, ‘I spent many happy…afternoons at Pittodrie, so it has a place in my heart. I recognise that there’s a conversation ongoing between the council and the football club. I don’t think I should get involved. But obviously, I think Aberdeen FC deserves to have the best possible stadium in the future. I’m sure that a path through can be found”.
