Too Big (Feethams capacity on closing was 8500, new stadium was 25000), Middle of nowhere, Insufficient road infrastructure & parking which restricted its capacity to 10,000, Old chairmen was actually quoted as saying the council were partly to blame for the clubs financial demise because they refused to let the stadium be used for such things as car-boot sales, ticket prices went up which coupled with sunderland, newcaslte and Middlesborough maintaining premiership/ championship football whilst darlington went out of the league meant the fans just drifted away.
At least out stadium will have roughly the same capacity and the nearest 'biggish' clubs to aberdeen are just as shite as we are
