tom_widdows

was wondering when you would show up again

The word hero gets banded about way to much these days

The Craig Gordon rumour about to gather a little bit more momentum perhaps? or maybe James Mcfadden?

Ingenuity and thinking is a great idea Reekie. I mean thats what has been stopping it all in the first place. Yes Pittodrie could be redeveloped but under current safety standards and regulations for stadium design the capacity would be vastly reduced. Possibly to just over 10000. It certainly wouldnt allow the closure of Pittodrie street (the fact the club dont own said street is a big sticking point). Also what assets do we have to sell off to carry this transformation out? Previous administrations could have made the effort to buy up the land around the stadium to either stop it being boxed in or to sell off for profit later on but given the rumours our 1970s/80s board told the oil companies to fuck off when they offered sponsorship I doubt any of them had the forsight or ambission to even suggest such a move

Does Cove/ Altens have a Tesco's yet?

According to planning regulations NO Stadiums need to meet a certain standard when it comes to access roads and parking etc. Calder Park will be accessed from a shared road which will split the cost of upgrading the existing road and roudabouts between cove and Aberdeen. The several hundred parking spaces in the complex will also be used by the stadium. Take out Calder Park and the stadium master-plan and the feasibility study can be called in to question

here http://www.dpea.scotland.gov.uk/ and failing that you go straight to Alex Salmond and co. If they can force through the shitehole of the beach retail and leisure park then they can certainly have a pop at this one

I reckon 2 & 3 would have been better said by Chic Murray

Hes only 28

My guess is he will be putting forward money from 'The Stewart Milne Group' ie his company so when questioned by tax man etc he can say it was an investment in the local area in an atempt to boost the local economy Money tied up in Aberdeen FC is from Stewart Milne, private citizen. Could be wrong but I seriously doubt hes stupid enough to do a David Murray and use his companies money to fund a football club

RE Union street id say priority 1 should be to knock on the doors of all the landlords/ commercial managers etc with empty shops and say 'Right, either lower your rental rates and activelly seek out a tenant be they local or national business, or sell the unit to the council (or some community trust) for a knock down price.' Seems to me there are too many of these landlords with deals that see them get an income whether their unit is occupied or empty. Union street is fast becoming the next George Street

shhh we're watching the game!

You not been to pittodrie before?

Again

With our physios record I wouldnt be surprised if that was min. 2months

Houston going down several pegs in my view with his statement on Reporting Scotland 'Door is open to all players no matter what the division' oh is that right Peter? Funny how he only gets a sniff of the first team when he signs for the Stadium Bar Pub team. Has he suddenly become a better player than he was at Hearts or Caley? Rory McAllister has 65 goals in 109 appearances for Brechin and Peterhead. Can we expect him to get a start ahead of Kenny Miller?

Do wonder when they will get round to announcing the date of this one. Official site doesnt seem to even acknowledge this is happening. Please be a Tuesday night!

STV finally cave in and are showing the charity shield Villa park this year edit - seem to be a fair few empty seats

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19225698 Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. Seemingly Newcastle's finances ain't far off Oldco's

Thought McGennis was supposed to be a defender now?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjFyDlySTrc Sky's commentary team has certainly improved

well there is a history of trouble at the fixture The carpark being too full, The pies being eaten too fast, Too many seats being sat in/ stood in front of. Its a nightmare
