Hope they dont make a big announcement about the travelling support Always seems to jinx the performance

The english league system has the advantage of allowing teams to join at very low levels and work their way up In Scotland its not so easy

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30376774 Any chance?

Lowest league attendance at Ibrox since December 1986 today - 28,137. That means 10,608 have 'walked away' since this time last season

I'm beginning to get the impression Anderson won't be back in a playing capacity. Hope I'm wrong but he was supposedly going to be back for the Motherwell game on 24th October. 5 weeks later and i haven't seen an update.

Hard to top that Peterhead banner

Soooo his ban is suspended but Celtic have chosen not to pick him I havent seen any reports he is injured. His appeal is 48hrs away but they decide to state they will spend money going all the way to CAS (who from memory dont seem to have much clout when it comes to overturning football governing body decisions)

Not any more. Spurs have pulled all the company's products from their stores and all advertisements from their website and stadium. Personally I'd like to Spurs legal team take all 3 to the cleaners especially if they get hit with a fine from UEFA

C'mon Hearts, hibs and Queens. Trap them in the 'championship' for another season!

No reason why it would be Celtic's training ground is in Lennoxtowwn Ranger's is in Milngavie Heart's is at Riccarton Hibernian's is in Ormiston It is possible to drive across the city

If there was any dodgy CGI in the 1977, 1980 and 1983 ones then they were doctored.

Not really Pubs next to stadiums can be very hit and miss. Make lots of money on match days but tank the rest of the time. They get a reputation which doesn't tend to bode well for attracting casual customers. Broadhill's location doesn't really suit it for a mainstream pub (No-one's touched it for 3+ years) and the amount it would cost to run may never have been worth the hassle It would be a nice to think the locally based Fans would openly choose to drink there all the time if the funds were going to the club but I doubt it woudl have lasted. Perhaps the real opportunity wasted is this was part of the site of the new 'community' stadium in the Aberdeen City masterplan of about 10 years ago.

Have to say the main stand at Tynecastle is a death trap, more so than the Main at Pittodrie. Hearts probably have even less chance of redeveloping it to the same capacity given how boxed in they are.

in terms of 4,5 & 6 did you see the actual originals or the shite doctored ones Lucas jacked out to fund his pension about 20 years ago?

End of january will be an interesting time should they still be trading. Fixture list from Christmas time - February 1st Hibernian (away) Dumbarton (home) Alloa (away) (Managed to draw with them twice so far) Hearts (home) Cowdenbeath (away) Celtic (cup) now if only Hibs or Queen of the South can get some consistency going.

I'd say we should be asking why the government etc still continues to give them the money if they are making no effort?

is that your share in the tub?

Try it it america where the advert was filmed Or alternatively stop wearing Lynx unless you want to smell like a travelling salesman or 13 year old kid

http://committees.aberdeencity.gov.uk/documents/s39105/CG14087%20Safety%20Certificate%20Pittodrie%201.7.14.pdf Seems that while the capacity on paper is 21,847 the club only has a safety certificate for 20,897 people Skip down to page 36 to see the problems the club have

Not seen BD for a whiile Manc but is your scheme for a sports stadium? The concourse at the back of the RDS is there for a reason. Evacuation of up to 6500 people close to a busy public road which must remain open at all times.

Pittodrie street isnt the only problem. The residents of Pittodrie Place and The Golf club will also have a big say in any attempts to build a modern main stand with the same capacity as the current one plus all the relevant admin facilities. Daylighting & 'Overlooking issues', emergency & service vehicle access not just to the stadium but to the neighbouring buildings, and of course needing to find a place for the car-parking spaces lost in the works all spring to mind. The club didnt just miss a trick not buying the gas works, they also missed a trick not buying the land behind the merkland where the flats now are (and used to be a timber yard I think). However hindsight is a wonderful thing and back in the early 90s had the club announced they were spending the playing budget on extra land around the stadium just incase they had the desire to build another RDS or 2 I dont think it would have gone down very well with the fans. Especially given they were now in debt for the RDS and the Main stand was in such a state. Mind you it might have stopped Aitken spending £850k on Brian O Neil, or Miller spending £300k on Nigel pepper and £750k+ Billy Dodds on Robbie Winters......we probably would have missed out on Billy Dodds, Paul Bernard, John Inglis & Peter Hetherston too given they combined cost £2,350,000. With regards to the 5 years on the Main stand comment I personally take that as meaning 'we have 5 years before it starts costing us serious money to keep open'
