Any Stadium News Of Late?

[StandFree1982]

Reasons for The Gardens Stadium:

Near The Grill

Near the train station

Better than the existing use of the area

City stadiums are cool as fuck

Natural bowl shape to local topography

Stop jumpers from the bridge

 

Reasons against The Gardens Stadium:

None

Could imagine this being a nuisance when a game is going on and some selfish cunt lands on Langfield....hud on, aye...this sounds ideal. All for it.

[reekie_dock]

Aye

Are you opposed in principle to all forms of knitwear, or is it just jumpers from the bridge (I assume The Bridge to be an Aberdeen clothing emporium) that you aren't keen on?

[V for Vendetta]

I was really expecting some announcement on this over the close season.

 

Surely they have some direction now? Its a disgrace really to be taking this long over the situation, the club can't afford to drag this out another decade.

[reekie_dock]

So the Mongs over on The Mad are claiming!!!

[Pudgie]

Shiiiiiite. Pittodrie's fucked!

[reekie_dock]

Pie's are shite anyway!!!!

[ChutneyLove]

I've heard that they're considering to just redevelop Pittodrie.

 

Maybe they're going to move it brick by brick to Union Terrace Gardens? Like that building near the tower in Tilly on the way to Seation Park? It used to be somewhere else too.

Could maybe relocate to that stadium in Glasgow that will be up for grabs soon.

Sell all the blue seats to the Orcs before they eat each other & replace with red seats.

That would be a fucking disaster min.

[fine-n-dandy]

Other than having to change a few songs I don't really see the big problem.

Surprised this hasn't been bumped up by now.

So by the quotes below, I understand we are aiming to be debt free & have new training facilities WITHIN next couple of years & then be in new stadium by 2017. Call me skeptical but I think we've been fed similar BS before.

 

"There's a number of different elements that we're working on to hopefully get to a point where, within the foreseeable future, we could get the club into a debt free position.

"If we can get there that puts us in a very strong position to deliver the new training facilities that we badly need and a little bit further down the line hopefully deliver the new stadium."

[fine-n-dandy]

We best start getting as many game as we can in at Pittodrie because we're moving soon.

[The Cockney Don]

News beat someone to the news for once .

New Stadium, eh?

 

 

"SHINY NEW STADIUM BY 2001... 2002... 2003.... 2004... 2005... 2006... 2007... 2008... 2009... 2010... 2011... 2012... 2013... etc. HONEST FUCKIN' INJUN! WE TOTALLY, TOTALLY, TOTALLY MEAN IT THIS TIME...

 

...okay, 2017 at the absolute outside. And there'll be training grounds, and amenities, and a retractable roof... and pixies and angels will serve you superlager and cheeseburgers... it'll be so fucking sweet. And that's all by 2017... even though we've not got two fucking pennies to rub together and debt out the arse. 2017... you heard it here first. Okay, maybe 2018 or 2019. But for sure by 2020."

You are such a weary cynic, Kelt

[Ke1t]

It's like listening to my loon promising to tidy his room...

 

"I'll have it tidy by Wednesday."

 

Friday comes round...

 

"Is your room tidy?"

 

"Two words, dad... 'mitigating circumstances'."

 

"So it's not tidy then?"

 

"This coming Wednesday by the absolute latest, dad... and I'm planning to put in a retractable roof and a custom-built training ground."

I thought your loon was only 6 or 7.

 

Mitigating circumstances is an impressive phrase for a kid that age. Good work on the whole parenting thing there.

He's 7... but has a university-level vocabulary.

 

I thought the fact he had the advanced engineering degree, architectural qualifications, and the at-hand labour force required to remodel his bedroom to resemble a modern sports stadium would have been more surprising than his perfect grasp of the English language, to be honest

Every kid should have the necessary logistical support to build the stadium of their dreams.

[Ke1t]

Even a child can build a stadium in the US. All he needs is to love God, the all american dream, his maw and enough mexicans to make it happen. This is the difference a near slave race of migrants can have.

 

I dunno about any of that, but I do know those little brown motherfuckers work like motherfuckers.

 

Need a swimming pool build in a day... just get enough Mexicans and they'll dig it out by hand, tile and seal it, and throw in a five tier Olympic diving board just for shits.

 

Which begs the question, if they can do it here how come they can't install a fucking toilet in the whole of Mexico?

[Ke1t]

They are just too lazy to get themselves decent enough slaves.

 

They've Guatemala right across the border... need to start rounding up some Guats and putting them to work building garages for their El Camino Lowriders.

 

They're a simple people, the Mexicans, but give them an El Camino and they'll have that fucking thing spray-painted some ugly hoor of a colour and be bombing around on mad suspension inside of a day.

 

Don't know why they do it... just know they'll do it.

This quote is quite possibly the vaguest piece of information I have ever read

 

Well done AFC

How many would it take to say, build a 25,000 seat stadium in somewhere like, maybe, a hole in the ground in the centre of a city overnight?

 

Retrospective planning permission is the fashion in Aberdeen these days. Once we, sorry, hypothetically someone moves the club in as well they'll just leave them there.

 

Dont need diving boards though.

 

Might be a fun way into the stadium actually. Aye, diving boards inna.

Less than you'd think.

 

I'd reckon four or five hundred Mexicans, with limited piss and fag breaks, could probably have a 30,000 seat arena built, plumbed in, wired, painted, and ready for the ribbon-cutting ceremony inside of an extended workday.

 

There's a maxim, give me a long enough enough lever and a fulcrum on which to place it and I can move the world. Well, give me enough Mexicans, and somewhere to mix cement... job done.

500 you say?

 

Dont suppose you know how many fit into a Maersk container, roughly will do for now.

Funnily enough, Mexicans do live in shipping containers.

 

I think usually a family of 12 can comfortably live in one, but if you were transporting them for construction purposes, possibly a hundred if you put in enough airholes and bottles of water for the trip.

[Dandyesque]

Bottles of water eh?

 

That's the stadium budget just gone up 10%....
