I see someone is suggesting they move to a new smaller stadium built at the new UHI campus. A smaller stadium (with room to expand) would seem to make sense but I'm not sure putting it even further away from the town centre with an even more convoluted walking/ public transport route is going to help them. If they were to build a new stadium and it is feasible I think trying to do something with the existing facilities at Bucht Park or perhaps the the 'Northern Meeting Park' both of which are much closer to the city centre. Fairly sure I recall ASDA or Sainsburys sniffing about the existing caley stadium site about 15years ago with the suggestion being a similar deal to what St Mirren got for Love Street with the new stadium being built in or around Bucht Park Perhaps if they can convince Clachnacudden and the shinty team's Boards that ICT isnt a basket case money pit they could perhaps agree to share the new facilities further creating a proper world class sports village for the Highlands?

Not been to Pittodrie for a while but drawings suggest to me 200-300 seats will be removed to install this. £5-7k potential ticket money lost each game for something which looks to be only fully visible from certain parts of the Main stand and RDL. fair enough.......

Pretty sure it was a saturday 3pm kick off as i remember watching updates on skysports. All 3 goals were late and neither Rousset or Watt covered themselves in glory for any of them -

Finally got to see 'Leviathan' a mere 34 years after being facinated by the videobox in the days when there seemed to be a healty dose of 18 rated horror/ sci-fi films coming onto the market. Cover art and slogan have little to do with the actual film Hoping to get hold of 'Deepstar Six ' (never seen) and 'The Abyss' (last watched circa 1991/92) to complete the 'trilogy' of underwater sci-fi/ horror films release in 1989

Same could be said for Icelandic teams with Viking R take a 2-1 lead to Athens in a couple of weeks. But given SEVCOs recent record perhaps there are just some teams/ Managers that for whatever reason know how to play in Europe?

That newcastle equaliser makes Geoff Hurst's hatrick look legit. That and the Man Utd's winner suggests whoever is training linesmen down south really has decided its just a case of showing up as VAR will do everything else

Tis wikipedia so whether this is accurate is to be confirmed. Below is Ayr's new stand (750 seats with terracing to the front

Arabs getting a similar nosebleed to dons? Hibs could be 3rd soon Meanwhile Ayr now top of championship. Sommerset park now has a roof on all 4 stands. Be interested to see if SPL would insist they bolt seats onto terraces if they came up

Genuine question if anyone happens to know the answer. Are swedish league clubs banned from scouting their opponents and/ or being allowed to watch replays of previous games? This dons season reminds me of pre internet postal fantasy football I used to play (adverts in the back of 'match' and 'shoot') I decided Kevin Keegan Newcastle united tactics were the way to go and for the first 8 weeks of the season my dons team was top of the league freely scoring (4-3-3 led by Billy Dodds, Duncan Shearer, and by some freak lucky transfer Roberto Donadoni). Week 9 the guy who had Lyngby (bizarre league which also included Barcelona and Sheffield Wednesday) beat me 1-0 and then I went on a run of 8 straight defeats no matfer what I tried. It only came to and end when the commodore 64 (I presume) the people running the business used died and suddenly my team vanished and they sent me completely different dons team in another league (lost interest then)

4million to AC Milan is the equivalent of 50k to SPL clubs
