Cormack - Vice Chairman

[RUL]

Confirmed on club official site with more talk about us linking up with the US market. 

[CityCentre]

I am happy with this, but I hope he is also looking east to Holland, Austria etc. for inspiration for our new stadium design.

[RUL]

I'm sure they mentioned they had looked at some European clubs.

[dave_min]

I am happy with this, but I hope he’s cruising up and down the Californian coast in a limo full of drugs and women.

[The Eleven from the Don]

Sadly though Milne is still here. 

[CityCentre]

Sadly though Milne is still here. 

 

Maybe this is the beginning of the transition to see Milne leave?

[Poodler]

Sadly though Milne is still here.

He wouldn't pay the extra for the limo either

[The Eleven from the Don]

Maybe this is the beginning of the transition to see Milne leave?

Lets hope it is, though he is without doubt the most bulletproof chairman in Scotland. Almost 20 years of fuck ups.

Looks like he's aged drastically in the 18 months since he joined...

[The Eleven from the Don]

Sounds just like the grippy bastard.

[Frank Grimes]

Maybe this is the beginning of the transition to see Milne leave?

Sadly that will not happen until he’s carried out in a box

 

We’ve heard of significant investment from the likes of Cormack, Tom Crotty, the Donalds and various third parties in recent years

 

Does Milne still put a few quid into the Club?

 

Either way, Milne is very lucky he’s surrounded by rich gadgies willing to put their hands in their pockets

We should get a retractable roof.

 

It would pay for itself.

 

We'd maintain a better pitch, more fans turning up to the football on bad weather days, and the venue would become multi-purpose with regular concerts, etc.

 

Think of the level of player we'd be able to attract.

 

(None of this small-minded crap.)

[BWG]

Good. Hopefully won't be long before he runs that glaikit serpent Milne out of the club entirely.

As ridiculous as that sounds I can’t help but feel if the new AECC and the news Dons stadium were merged we could of had a unbelievable venue!

That would just paper over the cracks at AFC.

That sounds rediculous

Too late now for any changes as the WANKS would want another day in court. I think they should have put an underground car park under the stadium and this would have saved all this shuttle bus larking around and increased attendances. Used to go and watch Fenerbahce a lot when I lived in Istanbul. Underground car parking and a lift up to your section for £20 a year if you bought a seasons ticket. Paid it's way as a park and ride through the week. There was a big supermarket there also. Parking and access to Kingsford looks like being a

problem once it's built. Fenerhahce stadium was built over 20 years ago. I reckon the board at Aberdeen did not look very far and are building a cheap "off the shelf" stadium .

If we know Milne well enough we know he'll not be paying an penny more than he has to on this new stadium... 

[aberdeen1970]

That sounds rediculous

 

I thought so too when I first read it.

 

But sharing some of the facilities e.g. car park, hotel etc wouldn't have been a bad idea.  Also the site is on the new and improved bus service to the airport, a bus every 10 minutes during the day!  And close to the bypass.

Definitely doable. 

 

The Redwings played their hockey at COBO's Joe Lewis Arena for many years, which also doubles as a convention center, up until they had Little Caesar's build them a new state of the art arena. Had a capacity of about 20k... ideal for the Dons. 

 

If the local teuchter builders can't figure out how to do it bring in the Yanks. 

 

[dave_min]

Definitely doable.

 

In Aberdeen? Absolutely not.

Joe Lewis Arena? I like it.

[Betty Swallicks]

Retractable roof? Underground car park? Lifts to your seat?

 

 

 Have you lot seen the plans and location?

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Joking apart I genuinely hadn’t thought about a joint venue. But now you mention it it does make a lot of sense.

 

I assume AECC was 7 years too early in the planning whilst we were still fannying about at Loirston.

Aye, but the fucking obvious benefits of a joint location mean that it won’t be done.

[Scotty_Toronto]

Too late now for any changes as the WANKS would want another day in court. 

 

 

But the changes (for noise, parking, etc.) are only in response to their concerns.

 

How would they be able to say we didn't listen and respond? 

[Frank Grimes]

Who was it that surrounded himself by them?

I think it’s a mixture of that and organic interest

 

Doesn’t change my point though

Isn’t it costing 450m to do new AECC? Obviously a little late in the day now but I just thought a stadium with a retractable roof for concerts. Offices etc and whatever else they have in new AECC held within the stadium. Could of been a incredible venue for sport and music. As someone has suggested it’s a better location also.

[Scotty_Toronto]

Joe Lewis Arena? I like it.

 

Bobby Clark no too happy.

[eeps]

Joe Lewis Arena? I like it.

Middle aged wifies would be queuing round the block to get in. Every year we'd sell out preview viewings of our Christmas advert starring an ageing poof.

 

Let's do it.
