Panda Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Was in the Hearts fan bar in their new main stand on Monday. Dunno how much it would hold - maybe 200. Would hope Aberdeen's was a bit bigger. They have a projector that fills the whole wall to show the games, but can imagine when it's full it'd be a pain in the arse seeing it unless you were at the front. Bristol City's is far superior, with a massive TV screen above the bar so everyone can see it. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/sports-bar-to-show-man-city-away-leg/ Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We should be planning for lot more than a 200 capacity bar. 2 or 3 bars within the concourse would be more like what we need. Link to comment

sooth_stander Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 They have raised the money, and have applied to appeal, they are in the three months waiting period. Aberdeen in the meantime are proceeding with the development, making the appeal a complete waste of time and money.Yeah, but have they, though? ALL they have done so far is give notice that they INTEND to appeal the process. That doesn't mean :- A) That they have, in fact, raised the neccesary doughB) that even though they do have the dough, that they will follow through with the appeal. It's all bluster, in my opinion.

It's all bluster, in my opinion.I'd assume that "giving notice" or whatever is essentially step 1 of the appeal process. Might be some sort of preliminary hearing next to decide if a full appeal will actually be heard. I'm sure it's outlined somewhere... Link to comment

If they get told they have a case to go ahead go further, why wouldn't they? No benefit to them to say they have the money when they don't, or launch an appeal if they don't want to see it through.

StandFree1982 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 £50k to claim he never touched a woman's boobs. Terrific use of money.For that amount of money, you could touch a LOT of boobs. Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 How many IPA for a shot on the bouncy castle?I think I made a mistake with the pint based rewards scheme.

I'd be amazed if they were allowed to launch a full appeal, I think the courts will knock it back. Link to comment

I think this will all be over by November. Instead they'll focus more efforts on the footbridge, the CPZ, Arnhall parking, prime four extension/drive thrus, just basically being as big a pain in the arse as they can in the forlorn hope that it'll make Milne go "Ach fuck it, it's too much hassle, let's just liquidate the club and ask everyone to support Cove".

Tord31 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Would it be too sensible to assume that us turning down £6m for mckenna means we already have the funding in place for phase 1 of kingsford? Link to comment

The Lighthouse Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The reality of where we could end being based is starting to hit home - out in the fucking wilds, far from the spiritual home of the city / beach. Pittodrie is in a poor state but at least it is in the right location. Progress...we`ll see. 1 3 Link to comment

Highbury Don Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Checked out St. Mary's at Southampton yesterday. Some interesting observations:- 10 mins walk from city centreMinimal parking facilities - maybe enough for staff and corporateSurrounded on 4 side by - Major road at main entrance side - Gasworks (just like we used to have) at one end - Warehouses and units at other end - Railway line at other side (doesn't stop at ground). No training facilities hereSurrounded all the way round by a decent size concourseCycle stands for approx 200 bikesGround holds just over 30kNice stadiumCouple of local boozers but no worries, since only 10 mins into townGiven it's been kinda squeezed in, they made a good job of it Not what I expected - I thought they had somewhere well out of town 1 1 Link to comment
TheRock Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Could move the ParkRun to 1.45pm on Saturday afternoon too. Start at Castlegate, finish line at Kingsford. Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 That may be a solution to the shuttle bus dilemma . A dedicated bike lane and every cunt cycling to the match. Could move the ParkRun to 1.45pm on Saturday afternoon too. Start at Castlegate, finish line at Kingsford. There we go some nice lateral thinking lads, problems solved. Lovely How about Afc apply for licences for 8 pop up pubs along the route from town and we let people beer cruise along the walk - get the piss heads fit and healthy too. 1 Link to comment

Pittodrie is in a poor state but at least it is in the right location. Progress...we`ll see. It might be the right location for some. But for anyone driving into games, it's an absolute nightmare getting home after games. Aberdeen City Centre is filled with bottle necks, namely Market Street going south. I can't actually wait till we move. 1 1 Link to comment
Poodler Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 All good ideas and something for everyone. A brothel as well wouldn't go amiss. And a Costa Coffee.There's brothels in the toon already If you know where to look Link to comment

Aberdeen City Centre is filled with bottle necks, namely Market Street going south. I can't actually wait till we move. Will be a total switch really. Think it'll be far more of a 'nightmare' for anyone not going in a car to Kingsford, than for those that can sit in their own car in a direct journey now. 1 Link to comment
