Tyrant

Precisely. I know how it's funded in theory but as far as I can see it's 99% likely to end up being a giant waste of money. If it was something we needed like a hospital or titty bar then I'd be more inclined to support such a risk.

Take yer sensible and rational thoughts away from this UTG debate, Tom!

Don't get me wrong.. I'd much rather stay at Pittodrie than move. I don't want to move at all but as I understood it we'd have a mortgage on a new stadium which would raise money that redevelopment wouldn't. Which is apparantly why we have to move. Whether that's true or not is another kettle of ball games.

Well in that case he can stay away.

But how long is it going to take to regenerate the £90m? I'm all for fucking building something but this is simply not fucking financially viable!!!!11!!1!

The loan repayments have to be paid by ACC. So over time the £90m (plus interest albeit it a lower rate?) comes out of the council's budget. Or have I missed something?

GS, Penfold has announced it.

Almost makes me want to buy chrome effect spinner hub caps for my Golf.

Have you even bothered reading my posts min? For Fuck FFS sake here we go again! One more time for those with selective hearing. Cost of project: £140m (and the rest) Money being offered by Mannie Wood: £50m plus up to £35m if it goes over budget (and it will.) I'm no Asian but I still think I'm getting my maths correct here: £140m -£50m =£90m NINETY FUCKING MILLION. Who's "offering this up"? The cooncil has to find it from somewhere. What I've struggled to grasp, Kow, is why people seem to think the whole lot is being paid for privately when it just fucking isn't. (not saying you specifically think this, like.) And unless 100% of the cost comes from private investment (LOL) it's going to be taking funding away from other much more worthwhile causes. It's not happening because we can't afford it. The funding isn't there. If the whole project was being covered it'd be half finished by now.

Aye he fucked off ages ago. I also noticed that he no longer seems to be a member. No idea why that is though.

St. Mirren looking half decent but I expect us to score and I expect us to win FFS fuck sake. Although Russell looked good at right-back I'd prefer him not to play there often (at all) tbh be honest. I like Jack playing in midfield but I'd still rather have him at RB than Ozzie or Russ. Keeping Russell and Ozzie both fit is vital. This aside I want more of the same as last weekend but with decent finishing. In/Oot: Oot. 35,000 feet above the Atlantic. Prediction: 3-0 Dons.

I don't doubt that it's possible from a physical point of view (as I've said previously in this thread) but isn't the issue there the money? ie not being able to raise any for carrying out such work?

Sevco away is a nailed on cert.

Nice one Al. I like the rims.

Is that the same Tynecastle that saw Hearts have to move some of their European games to Murrayfield because it was against some regulation?

Cheers for letting me know. Any birds or homos on here in the market for a Golf?

I ken you're casting the line and seeing what happens because I think you ken full well that's nae what I'm saying. The cooncil is skint. The whole country is. Most of the world is. Surely money needs to be spent on more important things until better times when money can be spared on making nice but not necessarily necessary superficial improvements to parks?

Bought a Golf on Sunday as a "sensible" replacement for the Impreza. The most comfortable car that I've owned. Probably a large part of that is down to the fact that there's nae suspension modifications making it stiffer. Just looking for some reliable, hassle-free motoring oot o' it.

But it is a park. And it might be shit but a lot of Aberdeen is shit but we're not spunking millions on it making it (arguably) less shit.

Look at Fraser's performance on Sunday it would have taken an unbelievable performance to take MOTM away from him but that's what Ozzie produced. Absolutely superb. How long is he signed up for? I'd give him a long term deal now.

I'd be delighted if the new stadium was built there.

You don't make friends with salad.

Fit optimism?
