Lang Bar Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 its quite exciting though, as id trust craig brown with money way more than i would have mcghee and maybe even calderwood too brown must have a vast network he can call upon for players. just look at the ones he got at motherwell, with a wee bit of financial muscle he'll hopefully be able to get a higher standard again I have to agree with you here.

Torryloon Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 There was a time when Aberdeen Corporation Transport ran a steady stream of busses from the Castlegate to Pittodrie and back after the match. No pick ups just there and back, and always full. It was a well drilled operation and it worked well. No reason why this cannot be resurrected. One big reason. Pittodrie back to Castleback would be tolerable "dead" mileage, i.e. empty. Loirston back to the City is a different matter. As a commercial operation I doubt whether it would be viable. Quote
Lang Bar Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 Fair point, and one I never thought about. Getting back for a 2nd pick up would be tricky. Back to the drawing board. Quote

I guess some independent operators might want to offer something, but doubt if Stagecoach or Firstbus would get involved. If they want to maximise attendances, then they've got to make it easy to get to, which is at least an advantage that Pittodrie has. I can see the Stoney buses getting packed, maybe they'll make a detour. Quote
maverick sheep Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 So much of this project is fantasy anyway that I'm surprised no one has said we'll solve the transport nightmare by flying to the ground in our individual jet-packs. Landing on the oversized helipad in front of our magical supporters bar to be greeted by beautiful models handing out complimentary pints and macaroni pies, before all being teleported to our choice of padded reclining chairs for those who want to sit, or bouncy castle terracing for those who want safe standing.

Torryloon Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 Fantastic, you should be on the planning committee with such imaginative proposals. Could I add the option of deep fried Mars bars as well as the pies. Surprised you didn't mention the Star Trek transporter facility. Quote
