SeeBass Posted August 22, 2019 Report Posted August 22, 2019 I hope we come up with a better name for the new stadium!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
manc_don Posted August 22, 2019 Report Posted August 22, 2019 I'm not against it, he's stumped up a decent whack and will probably become chairman eventually. Quote
Ten Caat Posted August 22, 2019 Report Posted August 22, 2019 The fear has to be that Wiggy gets his moniker into the new ground. "The Stewart Milne Stadium" has a sort of inevitability about it Quote
rocket_scientist Posted August 22, 2019 Report Posted August 22, 2019 Top businessmen, of which he is one, are ruthless beings. Many are sociopaths and way lacking in full mental health. But we shouldn't allow them to feed their sickness. Their narcissism and their ego got them to where they are but fucked if a football club and thousands of fans should have to put up with a permanent reminder. Quote
Chris Frae Killie Posted August 22, 2019 Report Posted August 22, 2019 I don't see what's wrong with Aurora? It literally means 'a new dawn' which this is for the club and the double meaning of sounding like 'Don'! I would never vote for any name of a person or business. I hate stadiums that are named like that. Nothing wrong with honouring a past chairman, manager or player by naming a suite or even stand after them but the name of the stadium has to unique like Pittodrie, Tynecastle or Tannadice etc. Quote
Tyrant Posted August 22, 2019 Report Posted August 22, 2019 I like it more than a more corporate name like "Costco Park" but not as much as something with hostorical relevance like Miller Park. (Named after Willie, not Alex before anyone starts feeling unwell!) Selling the naming rights is basically what we did. By contributing large amounts of cash Cormack has effectively bought the naming rights so I don't feel that we've "missed a tick" as the mongs on Facebook are saying. The name is fine IMO. Much more important that we get the facilities and quality correct. Quote
Obanred Posted August 22, 2019 Report Posted August 22, 2019 I hope we come up with a better name for the new stadium!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stewart Milne Arena Quote

It sounds like we're honouring our future chairman. Which is weird. I doubt that the club hadn't considered naming rights though. The fans are getting to name the pitches though. I think we should call one "Pittodrie, 6 miles East." Quote

manc_don Posted September 3, 2019 Report Posted September 3, 2019 The boy Begg has jizzed his punts on Twitter at this news. Can't work out if I like the guy, or he's just cringe. Seems to have a bit of a semi for the dhimmery too. Quote
Ten Caat Posted September 3, 2019 Report Posted September 3, 2019 Can't work out if I like the guy, or he's just cringe. Seems to have a bit of a semi for the dhimmery too. Well he would do. He was a presenter on Dhim TV a few years back. Quote
Tyrant Posted September 4, 2019 Report Posted September 4, 2019 Can't work out if I like the guy, or he's just cringe. Seems to have a bit of a semi for the dhimmery too. Ach he's OK. I don't dislike the guy even though he's a very vocal happy clapper. I didn't realise he worked for Timmy TV though! Quote
KennyFuckinPowers Posted September 4, 2019 Report Posted September 4, 2019 Richard Gordon worked for Rangers TV or some shit as well, did he not? Old Firm sycophantic wankers Quote
Elgindon Posted September 4, 2019 Report Posted September 4, 2019 Richard Gordon worked for Rangers TV or some shit as well, did he not? Old Firm sycophantic wankers Nae sure about.Can only remember him commenting on Dons games for North sound in the nineties before moving on to Sportsound.Can't recall him doing anything between or on top of those 2 gigs?

KennyFuckinPowers Posted September 4, 2019 Report Posted September 4, 2019 Pretty certain he did, back in the late 80's or early 90's, it was a video release, he was the host. I only know because my Hun mate who lived in Preston often tells me about it, when his Papa used to send down the Video's, it was Richard Gordon that presented them. Can't seem to find anything about it though. Quote
Kowalski Posted January 24, 2020 Report Posted January 24, 2020 Not hugely exciting but it seems we got a visit from Charlton Athletic: https://www.cafc.co.uk/news/view/5e18ad12db566/esteemed-charlton-academy-sharing-best-practice-in-scotland Quote
