I know we're comparing tiny unripe apples with behemoth pears but I watched Bayern the other night and the Allianz inside and out just looks amazing.  Wondering what it was like for the fans in the summer (apart from the result).   

Had the pleasure of being there twice for both Dons and Scotland 5-1 pumpings! Belter of a stadium but in the middle of nowhere and not a lot around about it.

Best thing about pittodrie is how close it is to town, something that is rare for teams these days.

Exactly - fuck Kingsford

When we played Bayern there was a rush for the last train to get you to the ground for ko, the train was mobbed and I thought it was going to come off the rails at one point with the singing and dancing that was happening, it was maybe a 40 min train journey and then a 30 minute walk to the ground going by my hazy recollection!!! 
 

It would be like the game being in Brechin if we moved to a similiar set up😀

Took me over 3 hours to get from Marienplatz to my seat for the Scotland game.

Can get to Hampden quicker from Aiberdeen.

And there is loads of car parking nearby You'd need a fair Size of car park at Westhill...

That's what would've made it viable . If they ever want a ground there they should see about acquiring more farmland around Cormack park for car space.  

But who knows what their plan is  , or if they even have one (which is more likely)

 

probably more paint for Pittodrie is where we are at.

Planning laws mean you can't just build massive car parks anymore

Shuttles from park and ride would be viable though

One rail, we don't need another one. 

We can have it all, it's easy peasy.

I can't believe nobody thought of this.

[RDS]

Club has applied for alcohol licence for a fan zone outside RDS for St Johnstone game on 7th December. From around 12 until 2.45pm

that could even move west a bit and knock down those 7 houses for access 

[RDS]

Fan zone to be run by Fierce Beer if the occasional licence gets approved. Council accepting correspondence for and against application until 20th November 

[sooth_stander]

There was mention of a pop up fanzone where the Broadhill Bar was, plus a separate one nearby, for the kids. But this looks to be beside the Fergie statue.

The council will not like the thought of football fans potentially having fun.

Probably be a bus gate at the entrance of the fan zone for pedestrians 

[GeorgeStreetReds]

The Dons form is attracting 5,000 extra people into the centre every home game now so hopefully the council see this.

[redcryptoknight]

Every time I hear about the new stadium these days I just feel annoyed.

Be great if this is approved, think the Police may object though - with the SFA pilling in as well against it no doubt

Will the Police be overly concerned about a St Johnstone home game with about 300 away fans?

The Fair City Unity are mental tbf!

[Tyzo_1903]

Common sense would be that any non night game against the smaller teams like your St Johnstones, Ross Countys etc, a beer tent would work but the dinosaurs in the cooncil and the police will never let common sense prevail.

[dave_min]

I’ll be hosting a pre-match event in the waste ground just off Merkland Road.

Face painting available.

BYOB.
