Stewart Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 http://www.afc.co.uk/articles/20110625/the-pittodrie-story_2212158_2381897 Pittodrie has long been the spiritual home of the Red Army. More than a century has passed since the first ball was kicked in anger, and since then, the old place has hosted memorable cup ties, great European nights, seen the championship flag hoisted, been home to some of Scotland's finest foootballers and been the proving ground for the greatest manager in the history of the British game. But time waits for no man - nor stadium - and Pittodrie is soon to enter into history and folklore as Aberdeen FC moves to pastures new. But before we go, we've committed the story of the grand old ground to film in a documentary for RedTV viewers.

From the early days, to the Gothenburg Greats and on to exclusive behind the scenes access from the present day, Featuring contributions from broadcaster Richard Gordon, AFC Historian Kevin Stirling, manager Craig Brown amongst others, 'The Pittodrie Story' is a nostalgic look back at the events and occasions that have contributed to the history of the club. written and produced by Christopher Anderson.

tom_widdows Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 Hate to think what the matchday experience chapter will comprise Quote
Kowalski Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 Does this mean they've secured funding for the new stadium? Quote
Mentorred Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 Just watched the 1st 2 chapters. I had forgotten how good Jamie Smith's 1st goal was against Copenhagen. Quote
Penfold Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 Terrific videos. Just watched them all. Hopefully they release it on DVD once we've played the final matches for a complete history of Pittodrie. A lot of info I hadn't heard before about the locations of the original 3 clubs, what it was used for in the war and proposed development of the Merkie Quote
Stewart Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Posted June 25, 2011 Aye just finished watching it as well. Seems I'd have been a Victoria fan in the early days. Never knew the plan was for a two tier stand at either end. Quote
