Yet another reason we shouldn't relocate to a suburb on the southern side of the city!!!

We're putting up £8m. But we're hoping to net £20m from the sale of Pittodrie. Excuse me, but last time I checked, Pittodrie was valued at around £7m. Where the fuck is this huge valuation coming from? Is that how much Stewart Milne Group is willing to pay the club for the land that Pittodrie is on just now? (no, I'm not accusing Milne of moving the club so he can build houses. I've actually never believed that nugget of theory for a minute. If he wanted Pittodrie's ground, he would've moved us by now)

Aye, not everybody has to agree with everybody else min! That's fit a discussion forum is for. I'm all for progress and all that. And I'm all for us relocating if need be. But Cove?? Better be a new train station in Cove, I tell ya. Can ye imagine Grumpian Transport shiftin several thousand fans fae Bridge Street tae Cove? Nah, didnae think so. The football club NEEDS to be within walkable distance of the city's main transport hubs, ie the bus and train stations. Pittodrie is kinda on the very edge of "reasonable walking distance" fae the bus and train stations. Cove is NOT! I refuse to believe that there is no other option at the beach. There's new developments happening all the time at the beach! Surely there's room somewhere for the city's MAIN football club ... a stadium that a tenth of the city's population visit every fortnight!! Surely!!! Even Dyce would be better served than Cove. At least Dyce has a rail link! And there's plenty of space in Dyce to build a stadium!

How does the new quick reply look?

Awww sorry mate! The burds dinnae work on Mozilla! Shame, cos they look damn good tae me!!!!! Sprawled all over my DonsTalk page

Yeah I'm not one for sayin "yer a lyin bastard!". Cos chunces are it'll come back tae bite me in the erse. But I never believe the rumourmills until we've actually seen the photo of said player with his new jersey. Even then, that wasn't enough proof in the case of us signing Jim McInally fae Dundee. Had the photo on the back of the EE wi' his new Aberdeen top. And the deal actually failed AFTER this photo was taken. So not only did we fail to sign him ... we spent money making a top with "McInally" on the back!!!

Aye, piss right aff wi yer "common sense" malarky! I'm wi' Jager on this one. One of the highlights of Pittodrie is spillin oot of the Pitt Bar at 2.57 and still makin it intime for the kickoff. And then leavin the match and arrivin back tae the pitt just intime tae see the highlights of Eugene Dadi leading his flock of sheep along the pittodrie pitch after humpin Ra Shellick! I'm sure there will be new bars at the Cove site. But will they accomodate all the reprobates that the Pitt, Bobbin and Broadhill bars accept with open arms? Doubt it! The reprobates will get banned for fear of causing a bit of damage to the shiny new barstools and winkin at the shiny new barmaids.

She threw it oot cos yer name wasnae on the teamsheet ... despite you being the Dons top scorer on the day!

I mind the rumourmill had Anderson going to Rangers so so so many times. A few even said his wife had left her work and had a farewell party cos they were leaving the city. I'll believe these rumours when I see said players in any other strip that isn't an Aberdeen one!

I've just altered the default to 30 posts per page. How does this look? I don't want an entire topic to be on one page as this can be a nightmare when you have topics that have over a hundred posts in it, like the Stadium Redweb one. People with less memory in their computers will find this a nightmare to have to load over 100 messages in one go. But maybe 30 is better. What do you think? And about those page 3 girls ....

Deano, Zero, Rico, all cult heroes. And all end in "o". Therefore, does that allow "Cato" into the cult hero list?

Hart and Clark I'd be surprised about. They are red through and through. Hart especially has the potential to be Aberdeen captain and, in my view, has the potential to be just as good as Anderson in a captaincy capacity. Lovell, would be sad to see him go. But let's face it. We've nae really seen the best of him. We gave him the benefit of the doubt last season because he missed pre-season and wasnae fit. But he's had nae excuses this term. He just doesnae net enough. With his quality, he should be bangin them in in the reserve matches and FORCING Jimmy to play him every week. Seve - wouldnae surprise me. He's been half-arsed for a while now. Being club captain must've been a nice wee bonus in his paypacket this season. But being relegated to the bench is something he wouldnae have liked. He's a top quality player when he's on his game - one of the best in the SPL! But how often is he ontop of his game?? Barry Nic - nae sure about this ein. He's blue in the blood. But he's a good honest lad who plays with heart and wears on his sleeve the badge of the club he plays for. He puts a lot of passion into his games, just as he did at Dunfermline. Out of all those names mentioned, it's Barry Nic and Micky Hart that we'd miss the most!

Hmmm. I made it as plain as possible so that the site wasn't so graphically intensive, and thus more processing power from our server is dedicated to getting the site to load as fast as possible and handle the database as efficiently as possible. But I'm open to suggestion about how to change things for the better. What does everyone else think of DT's current look? Is it in need of a revamp? What would you like to see instead? Any ideas on style? Are the main header graphics of the site okay? Or are they in need of a change? Don't worry about different features of the site, cos we're working on that aspect just now and expect the new content and features to be released early in the New Year. But "skin" wise, what would you like to see? First person to say "it needs to look like AFC Chat" gets booed 1000 times!

Nah dinnae really agree wi' that mate. I know most of my mates are opposed to this. And I know most of my mates normally go past Cove to get to Pittodrie anyway! Stickin the new stadium out in some industrial belt is gonna suck cos it's gonna be a lifeless shell wi' nae character. Basically, it's gonna be another Almondvale. Sure, the Emirates Stadium is filling faster than they can say "Highbury?". But we're nae Arsenal! We're lowly Aberdeen. I struggle to believe that we are putting 4/5000 fans off coming to the matches for the pure reason that parking is tricky! Even before traffic restrictions were enforced all over the city, our core attendance has always been around the 11-13,000 mark for the past three decades. We have little fluctuations such as European ties, fan-get-fan promos and the likes. But even when we were ruling Scotland and planting the seeds for Scottish clubs in Europe, our attendances weren't much more than they are now. And back then, it was friggin easy to park yer car near Pittodrie. I mind the bank of cars that used to park half way up the Broad Hill. Anywhere you could find a space, you'd park. Wardens weren't an issue back then. Shovin a stadium in the middle of an industrialised area (that's where I'm assuming it's gonna go) is gonna put the boozers and the walkers off. You'd be surprised how many thousands of Aberdeen fans hike it to the games! Probably more than make it there by car. Unless the city make it a free or discounted ride service (whether by train or bus, who cares) to Cove, there'll be a sharp decrease in the number of regular walkers going to Aberdeen matches.

True. A much better idea! Can you imagine us snappin up a song that's got the dulcit tones of Jimmy Calderwood, Richie Byrne, Derek Young, Derek Soutar and Darren Mackie on it? Fuck, ye couldnae sell that if it was a fuckin charity record!

Always said just turn the current Pittodrie 45degrees, build a new stand inplace of the Main stand, only build it so it actually goes OVER Pittodrie Street. Can we demolish that old gas works? Get something in there! Get rid of the shitey carpark and make the opposition fans WALK to the ground, like we have to do against Hibs.

Who would you rather watch? The Dons versus KILLIE, where the winner moves ever so closer to that ellusive 5th spot in a league where the winner has been decided before the first ball is kicked ... or the Dons versus COPENHAGEN where the winner goes through to the last 32 of the continent's second-top competition??!!!!!!!! The last 32!!!!!!!!! When was the last time we were in the last 32 of the friggin Scottish Cup?

Need a new song. European Song belongs to the Gothenburg Greats. The new guys don't deserve to lace the boots of the Gothenburg team, and as such should get their own song ... nae a reworded version of the original classic. I mean ... "Maguire and Miller, and Seve too..." these three dinnae deserve to be used in the same context as McLeish, Miller and Strachan.

Q's 1. Where do you travel from? 2. How do you get there/back? 3. What do you usually do before/after the game? 4. Preferred location? A's 1. Usually Stoney 2. Train, then walk 3. Drink pints/drink nips 4. ALWAYS the Pitt

Obviously I'd expect UEFA to impose harsh penalties upon this club for allowing flares at their stadium! F'kn!

Gutted that we'd be losing our favourite waterholes of the Bobbin, Broadhill and Pittodrie Bars. Even on non-matchdays if ye have to walk the length of King Street, the Bobbin and Pitt are ideally positioned for a half-way refresher or four. But if they can get the transport sorted for this new place, such as a rail shuttle service (preferably free!!!) then it'd be awesome. Plus it would quite literally be a hop, skip and a jump fae the Station Hotel in Stoney!!!!

Sorry Mr Fraser. The Dons may be forward thinking. But the City Council are more backwards than the characters of The League Of Gentlemen.

Frank McDougall and Duncan Shearer! Imagine that partnership!!!!!!!!!!!! Twenty goals per game .... easy!

That can be arranged. What smilies would you like?

Doesn't Booth still hold the record for most goals scored in the Aberdeen junior leagues?
