The closing date has arrived for bids to buy Aberdeen Football Club's home - Pittodrie Stadium.
The club put the 107-year-old ground on the market earlier this year after securing outline planning permission for 350 homes on the site.
The club says the sale of the 13.7-acre Pittodrie site is key to securing the £38m needed to build a new stadium, capable of holding about 21,000 fans.
This would be at Loirston Loch on the southern outskirts of the city.
Barr Construction - which has built many stadiums - has been named as the preferred contractor.
It is hoped the stadium - which is planned to be an iconic landmark - could be ready for the 2013/14 season.
In March, Scottish ministers decided against calling in the proposals.
The new stadium project was subject to 140 objections from local communities and groups concerned about the environmental impact.
