Coopy100 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Good. Hopefuly they can open up the square and give provost skenes hoose a more prominent position in the town. Glad they never went doon the making it into a hotel route. Link to comment
OddJob Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 About bloody time this monstrosity was knocked down Link to comment
Mouse Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Think it was only designed to last 30 years. Long overdue taking it down Link to comment
danger_mouse Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 for fuck's sake the idiot's in charge of this city really dont have a clue, they could have sold it (apparently 5 million quoted) but instead when money if tight they decide to spend over 2 million taking it down, just so they dont have to look at it from their new shiny office's Link to comment

Mouse Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Confirmed by ...well the EE that it is going ahead, but will take 15 months to do. Are they taking it down brick by brick in that case? Roll on the civic square Link to comment

Mouse Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 No thanks.What would you build instead? To be honest anything is better than current. Whatever it is as long as you can appreciate Provost Skenes House and the magnificent College Link to comment

Whatever it is as long as you can appreciate Provost Skenes House and the magnificent College Agree with that. The Provost Skene House has been lost beneath the monstrosity that is St Nicholas House. What is wrong with Union Terrace Gardens as they are? Link to comment
Mouse Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 What is wrong with Union Terrace Gardens as they are?Just needs a bit of a tidy up imo, definately not up for the levelling it off nonsence Link to comment
tutankamun Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Just needs a bit of a tidy up imo, definately not up for the levelling it off nonsence I think it's a beautiful space. The bogs are a bit ropey obviously but they've been like that for a while. It's our Central Park, Princess St Gardens, St James' Park etc. There are people who see it as a waste of space in terms of retail. It's a huge area in the centre of town yet it doesn't make any money. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I would be all for turning Union Terrace into the new Pittodrie. Parking for thousands underneath, city center location, pedestrianise the area on match days, shops, bars and restaurants a-plenty right there boosting the attractiveness of going to see the team AND boosting the coffers of local business, infrastructure already in place being a few hundred yards from train and coach stations. It's a fucking brilliant idea of mine... too bad I'm not in charge, rather than a council/club full of spastics, imbiciles and monkey-people. Link to comment
