New Ground Wrt Attendances

[Bluto10]

Following on from the other thread, I think it must be stated....

 

 

Talking about attendance when not being a good side, we really need to look at Newcastle

 

When out with the top div historically they have alwayshasd decent crowds.

I think this is partly due to tjhier group d being in a fun and accessible city centre location.

 

Food for thought for Aberdeen who I think have a brilliant current locale

The Union Terrace site is the obvious choice...and before any cu*t says its too small...it isn't.

[Bluto10]

That's TOO central min, fine where we are.

Union Terrace is ideal...plenty boozers close at hand and a stagger from the station...if pitched right Sir Ian would probably chip in if the egg chasers got a couple of games a season there as well

[Bluto10]

Ha ha true

 

I suppose its a V fwd thinking idea from a council to have that sort of thing so central

 

I find, maybe spammer can ship in, thast things like that are common place in Netherlands - wacky architecture, crazy town planning etc, but I think the UK is over conservative

A quick look at Google Maps and it becomes apparent that fitting a stadium into UTG would be pretty unlikely. Just zoom in on Pittodrie, and at the same scale drag over to UTG. I'm not saying it couldn't be done, because I'm no architect, but it appears to the untrained eye that there just isn't the room. If there is then I'd say go for it. I'm just not convinced there is the room.

 

Seaton Park, on the other hand, is absolutely gagging to have a stadium built there.

 

Big waste of ground, except for the dogshit and junkie fanciers, where you could build a sprawling stadium with ground left over for parking, bars, small green areas for families, and a training complex. And it's just two more minutes along King Street.

[Bluto10]

Indeed you aren't an architect kelt your an itgeek. Like myself

 

But we both have vision and dreams. Thasts a rare thing these days

Yeah.....but there IS no reason to move.

Brilliant location. Equi distant between Aberdeen two best place - centre and beach. Thasts the genius of pittodrie

Indeed I do have dreams.

 

My actual vision for Pittodrie was based on Bespin.

 

Not only am I no architect, but my grasp on the current state of anti-gravity technology is pretty shaky too. However, one thing about 'Bespitoddrie' is that you don't need a single square inch of land to build it on. And no land means no land purchase, meaning all available funds... currently running at around minus sixteen million quid, I believe... could be channeled into building.

 

[Bluto10]

Like bexy, kelt you're a visionary

We could probably put seats on the slope nice steep stands and level the pitch across the rest. Cheapos could watch fae the bridge at both ends.

I think there's no reason to move if you just want to stick with a small, poorly fitted stadium.

 

There's no room for a concourse in the current footprint. Although there IS an arseload of wasted room in the RDS, but even that would be insufficient for a modern stadium.

 

Any new stadium HAS to be built as a place that not only has a game of football going on on the pitch, but offers comfort and amenities for people to pish their money away on.

 

I think we definitely have to move, just because rebuilding is going to keep us mired in the past, from an design point of view.
