“Dons chiefs are ploughing ahead with major Pittodrie upgrades, after a “realisation” over the time and money needed to build a new stadium.
At last night’s AGM, chairman Dave Cormack revealed that plans for a new home have been shelved, as the club remain in a deadlock with Aberdeen City Council over its funding.
It comes as the value of the Pittodrie site, which it’s thought would have been sold for housing, dramatically decreases – meaning Aberdeen FC would not get “the best deal” for it.
And chief executive Alan Burrows also committed to major upgrades to Pittodrie.
Amid the uncertainty over the proposed seaside relocation, he said the club’s historic home is likely to be the Dons’ base for “a number of years”.”
Christ, I remember being at an AGM over 10 years ago and we were told remaining at Pittodrie wasn’t an option.
