Ten Caat Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Disappointing to see Stewarty hasn't got the builders in between Christmas and New Year. Because Mrs Stewarty has got the painters in just now? Link to comment
robbojunior Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I drove on the new bypass, past the site just before Christmas. Never took any photos. Sorry lads, I know everyone loves seeing photos of mud and diggers Link to comment

JakieBastard Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Just saw this on youtube which is an interesting wee video of some stadiums of a similar scale to the Kingsford one. Not enitrely sure what the Monaco one is doing in there but the Molde and Debrecen ones show that you can get a cracking looking stadium with a capacity below 20k Link to comment
CityCentre Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I expect the club to start some supporter surveys or consultations very soon with regards to stadium design and requirements. Link to comment
TheRock Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 How much of the stadium design was locked down during the planning permission process? I don't really know much about that process but presumably we can't just build whatever we want now? Link to comment
dave_min Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 And I expect the club to ignore the results and do whatever the fuck is cheapest. 2 Link to comment
starryfish Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Moldes WowOWMcInnes is very jealous of Molde and their setup and sees no reason why we can’t at least replicate what they do and have. Link to comment
starryfish Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 If that's true, then fucking WowWOWOWOWWOWOW WI was at an event at Pittodrie in August 2017 to launch the Aurora campaign and Molde were the club that he referenced us against. He was very jealous of what they had in terms of infrastructure and facilities and wanted us to get up to their level both on and off the park. Link to comment

Not enitrely sure what the Monaco one is doing in there but the Molde and Debrecen ones show that you can get a cracking looking stadium with a capacity below 20k What's cracking about Molde? Saw this stadium a few weeks ago but no photos were allowed while they were finishing it up, and it really was a cracking 15,000 seater stadium. Quite similar to Ferencvaros. I'm not fussed about the aesthetics of ours and I don't think we can do anything about the shell now, but the stands really should be optimal in every single dream football stand way. Link to comment
the sheep Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I would like us to have some sort of light show to link in with the theme of Northern Lights. West Ham have bubbles and we have a light show that can be kept within the stadium if need be. Something to separate our stand from every other bog standard stadium. Doesn't need to cost lots of money. 2 Link to comment

Totally over-engineered roof, why is it 100 ft above the seats? Waste of materials and wouldn't keep the wind and rain out in blowy Scotland. Link to comment

Waste of materials and wouldn't keep the wind and rain out in blowy Scotland.Same height as the grandstand, feels like a proper enclosed arena rather than a League Two stadium, and it’s an illuminated wrap.

super_al Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Have we not landed on a design? It looks nothing like the fancy ones people are suggesting. Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 McInnes is very jealous of Molde and their setup and sees no reason why we can’t at least replicate what they do and have. I can see about 30 million reasons why we can't at least replicate what they've got. Link to comment
Rostov-on-Don Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 But shite on the inside. Serious question, what do you think of HFM's effort for ours if that's the case? Link to comment
Rostov-on-Don Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 That they maybe, may be just have slightly more money to play with? It cost £40m. Link to comment
Shinniesta Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Molde's new stadium cost around £19.5m. Link to comment
dave_min Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Comparing costs with different stadiums built in different countries at different times is completely pointless Link to comment
CityCentre Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Our stadium will cost more than £40m, that figure is simply unrealistic. Link to comment

SheepieBaaBaa Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Comparing costs with different stadiums built in different countries at different times is completely pointless Indeed, pulling figures out of our arses and announcing with mock prophetic wisdom that "It'll never come in on budget anyway" is far better. 1 Link to comment
RUL Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Wasn't Molde stadium built years ago and has less of a capacity than what we are looking at? Link to comment
slippers Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Presuming we are stuck with what passed for planning? Probably could re submit plans for how it will look but you would be stuck with dimensions, steepness of stands etc I’d imagine? I actually don’t mind the look of the stadium we have a flyover of. But like someone said above the seats have to be as steep as possible and everything else that allows as good as atmosphere as possible. Link to comment
boboisared Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Indeed, pulling figures out of our arses and announcing with mock prophetic wisdom that "It'll never come in on budget anyway" is far better. Well I'd presume labour rates in Dubai are lower... Link to comment
