Tyrant Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 Whilst undoubtedly a good, positive thing I'm going to be typically Scottish and pick holes in this. The Academy Shopping Centre is the worst choice of shopping centre. I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've been in there. It reminds of of the Indoor Market. Location could be better, that's for sure. Quote
maverick sheep Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 real fans will be in the academy at least 3 times a week every week from now on. we're all in this together. tough choices need to be made. etc etc Quote
Tyrant Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 That's exactly where the real fans aren't. Quote
dave_min Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 I'm gonna give the club the benefit of the doubt here, whereas Union Square would be the obvious choice as that's where people go to shop, putting it in The Academy means they're beside most of the decent pubs in Aberdeen and if it means that some folk end up going to Pittodrie instead of spending their 'Soccer Saturday' in Enigma or the like, then it's been a move worth making. I've no doubt that they put it there 'cause it's cheap though. Edit: Enigma isn't a decent pub. Quote

RDU_64 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 I'll maybe pop down tomorrow morning a look. Quite like some of the casual tops and need to have a look for some Xmas/birthday shopping anyhow. Quote
maverick sheep Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 if they haven't even bothered stocking all the stuff the website's been claiming is 'coming soon' for 4 months then they're wasting everybody's time. i've been wanting the zip-up hoody as worn by ozzie in the preview pics all this time and still yet to see one.
