Nixie Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Was good to see the missing seats in the away end eventually replaced for yesterday's game. Where I sit in section N of the old stand there has also been a really annoying cable/wire that has hung from the roof for as long as I can remember that has now been removed. A small thing, but it was really annoying. Good to see stadium improvements now happening. Did anyone notice any other work that has been done?

davjambo Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The on/off catering problems persist in the main stand, no hot drinks in section t lower and upper t's were tepid at best.

SectionDJambo Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 My daughters seat in sec Z is still plastered with Aberdeen stickers, get it sorted Ann! Noticed yesterday that there is an Aberdeen sticker on one of the 500 club boards in the Wheatfield Stand. Must have been there a while. Small thing but hopefully, in time, stuff like this can be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scots civil war Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 i knew about that wire also,there it was dangling away for years lowering the tone of the place...what about that ****ing pink noise over the pa yesterday n all........and no,its not a bandjeezo,that was rather disconcerting wasnt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The Dickens hoarding in N3 at the front of the top tier has a few bits of metal, almost like large staples, sticking out. Me and a few other fans were banging against it to make a bit more noise as you do, cue me slapping my hand against one of said sharp objects and my hand pishing with blood. Small thing to me as the joy of the result was clouding my wound however others may have been more distressed by it. When I sat in T2 a few years back my seat was in the front row. Plenty of screws were bare and could have caused injury. Hope that's not a problem anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambos_1874 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I'd be interested to hear from AB how much she/the board reckon it would cost to bring the stadium up to scratch.

Bruno Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Is there no Volunteers Group who could do some of the nontechnical stuff. I am retired 63,and happy to turn up once or twice a week and do tasks to save cash. This is a brilliant idea. I'd offer to help as well but I live 450 miles away. Maybe worth writing to the club or the FoH, there must be plenty of people who could spare a little bit of time and elbow grease to make sure the place gets kept tidy. Beyond that, have we ever looked into building a cheap stand within the footprint of the current main stand and the space behind it? Hibs built a stand quickly and cheaply recently, could we not build a cheap two tier thing with space behind / underneath it for offices, suites and other facilities to be added when we have the cash? As part of the future options, we can incorporate a design that would allow us to remove the supporting pylons between the Main and Roseburn stands which would ultimately allow us to make the pitch big enough to host European games.

Having been sitting on the thinking mans seat, it did cross my mind. Could only assume it was from the league cup semi as there is no way that the damage was accidental. The lock were obliterated.

Julien Brellier Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Something I've been thinking about recently is distillery park. Is this ever used? It would be good to have this turned into a state of the art all weather surface which can be rented weekdays to amateur clubs and boys clubs or groups of friends to train / play on. At first it would be a big outlay in terms of cash but having the park hired out most weeknights and at weekends to fulfil youth and amateur league fixtures would eventually pay for itself and it would also help the community in terms of youth development. Better than it sitting unused. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
