New Stadium Approved

[CityCentre]

Quite surprised how much work has actually been done, whole area basically been dug up already, trying to flatten it I presume.

You sound easily surprised.

"trying to flatten it"

 

?‍♂️

Still motoring on with the groundworks when I drove past earlier.

Obviously not overly concerned about the review.

Just hope nothing is found to hold this up now its started. We all know the WANKS are doing this out of NIMBYism, but with AFC theres always that nagging doubt that well fuck something up.

Where exactly are the bodies buried?

Just Milne trying to sell as much top soil as he can to get up to the £10m

We must be nearly there then.

Nat Fraser will help with the locations

No, I think the intention is to build the entire stadium on a slope with a gradient of 1:2.

[reekie_dock]

It would be better 2:1 surely then at least we would win every week ???

Stewarty Milne has got them doing long hours, 7 to 5:30pm, slave driver.

We don't play at home every week.

Where are the photos?

Isn't That Bummer Brown's line?

Where are the photos?

 

I'll try and upload some tomorrow.

Depending on what time I get to Aberdeen tonight, I might go visit an old pal in Westhill, so may take some photos of Kingsford.

 

But it's 12.20pm, I've just woke up and im considering another hour in bed, so the chances are slim.

Must be someone we know.

Pittodrie was properly rocking at times on Thursday.

 

One one hand, you think if you put that crowd in a fully enclosed stadium designed to enhance the atmosphere, then it would have been sensational.

 

But on the other, I did think one thing that helped that atmosphere last night was the quirky way Pittodrie is designed with the two big stands and two small ones. There's something special about looking down from the top of the RDU at a packed South Stand - a big stand hovering over the pitch right on top of the action. It's one thing they'll never manage to recreate at Kingsford with the current design.

 

I'm still in favour of a new stadium, but moving towards a different design, one that tries as much as possible to recreate the South Stand. Instead of all four stands being the same height, make one side smaller in return for the opposite end being much bigger.

 

Best modern example I can think of is Debrecen's Nagyerdei Stadion in Hungary. 20,340 capacity, only four years old, cost £35.6m. That, but a bit of a steeper gradient, would be superb.

Pittodrie has had it's day, of that there is absolutely no doubt, but i did leave on thursday night wondering if the new place would be able to recreate such an atmosphere. I suspect not.

It feels a bit special when the old place is full like it was on thursday.

To read some of the Barnsley fan comments about the stadium and it's locale was nice, the graveyard, the haar rolling in, the view of the sun setting etc. I doubt we'll have such comments about the new place. Which is a shame.

Was it just the novelty that appealed to them though?

Correct.

 

First time visiting.

 

They play in a league with modern mega-stadiums.

 

If they came a few times a year, every year they'd agree it's a dump.

[V for Vendetta]

Things can be done.

 

I'm sure we could sell grave plots in an area near the new ground just for the cool atmosphere.

 

Also some smoke machines hidden in the trees nearby to generate the har.
