I thought we played Celtic?

The defending champions are on the BBC telly on January 18th as we begin the defence of the cup we won in May against Raith.

I'd imagine over £100 million all in, as these things always go over budget and likely, even if passed, it would take a few years to get it started and inflation will impact the cost.

To be fair to him, he has. His last estimate was £80m. The club need to do a feasibility study to get an accurate cost of building at the beach, but the club's issue is they keep spending money on feasibility studies that then prove useless because the prospect of building the stadium soon goes. Ie, they did one for Loirston, then the council decided they wanted a school on part of the land instead. Then they did one for Kingsford, only for the council to approach them about the beach. Now the council have been saying up until now they aren't putting any money in towards the stadium, so the club are asking why they should spent any money on the project. It might not, but something has to happen. Pittodrie won't stay standing forever. * Upgrade Pittodrie (likely with a smaller capacity) * Build at the beach * Build at Kingsford * Build elsewhere One of those things will happen.

The Beatles - Drive My Car

Hard to believe the ignorance still shown in 2025…

My Mother was a huge fan back in the day, as I am sure were plenty others. I remember more from the Kids TV series Mr Majieka I just discovered he was gay. Not surprised, as he played the female parts with a lot of enthusiasm, but had never realised he had come out. Married a woman, but it was a lavender marriage. Hard to believe the lengths they had to go to back then to hide their sexuality. RIP

It will happen at some point, through necessity if nothing else. I'm quite happy for the club to build a new stadium, but it has to be in Aberdeen, preferably at the beach or at least somewhere that is workable for all transport needs. I am also a little uneasy about public funds being used to build a stadium for what is a private company, owned by some VERY rich individuals. I am 99% certain if Davie boy gets his wish and gets access to public money to build it, the Council will end up being shafted over it. It's as inevitable as night following day.

Status Quo - Dont drive my car

Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Aye. ~There was a spell last season when we were spending money on anyone but Scottish players,let alone Aberdonian.The more we did it,the more remote the club felt to me. Armstrong,Lobban and Milne,(Shinnie to a lesser extent these days) keep the link going

Andrew Consi Considine - bloody love the guy, second only to Brian Irvine for me in terms of being heartbroken when they left the club. As weetoonred said - he was us. Us on the pitch. When Aberdonians /local loons at the club were rarer than hens teeth and we’d mostly a revolving door of lower league English shite (and managers) he felt like the only connection I had to the club at times. He was my lode star.

Talking Heads-Road to Nowhere

I thought he'd been deid for about 30 years. I wonder how many other people I think are deid are actually still alive.

Still never going to happen

It's been a gey bad campaign, but just imagine if we had beaten FCSB and played in the Europa League? It doesn't bear thinking about, really. So I don't know why I mentioned it.

Hopefully a sign that we may have been over cautious with blooding youngsters. Be nice to get a look at Kjartansson and Bilalovic before they retire

Andy Considine is a proper hero. A fan who grew up to play over 400 games for the club, even winning a trophy. And topping it all off with a Scotland debut at Hampden, at the age of 33, helping the team to a clean sheet in a meaningful game. Seems to be a genuinely good guy and a hugely loyal servant who played wherever his manager asked him to. He's basically the manifestation of the dreams of every kid who grew up wanting to play for the Dons.

Road Hammers - Get on down the road

Considine is a proper AFC legend. Of course he had shit games, but he was immense in plenty others and he played enough. We also had some real shite in our back four for a lot of his time. I reckon he would have done a great job at any other team in Scotland including either of the the bigot brothers. He was never a left back, but in most games he played at left back he did a sterling job and was only usually found wanting when up against serious pace, but he was fine for the most part in the league. I get we all have differing opinions, but we really never signed much better defenders than Andy Considine during his time with us.

Electronic - Get the Message

You would think that Cormack would be willing to say how much would be needed to build the stadium Surely if they want access to Government funding, then the taxpayers should get to know what they are looking for funding wise, as it's not exactly loose change down the back of the sofa figures required. They will know values required to build this and it should be made public as with all details of exactly what they want. After all AFC are the ones wanting to politicize the debate. I do sympathize with Dave in one respect. Dealing with Christian Allard. The guy shouldn't be anywhere near leading a City Council.

I think it's the same folk doing the report, that provide the huns with the valuations of their best players. Remember Morelos was around £25 Million and not long ago Butland was £30 million and plenty other examples.
