benny Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) 59 minutes ago, Sir Gio said: They want the complex. McInnes is the architect and he is determined to have the training facilities. Pittodrie therefore is not an option. The feeling is they have done what is asked of them this time and approval will be granted So they have delivered the brown envelopes to the rightful folk. Sorry I just cannot see how a ground 5 miles out can work. The Etihad is only a 30 min stroll with tram,bus,loads of car parks and a close bye rail link there and back to the stadium. After the game the transport links are a nightmare getting back to the City centre. Understand the need to move but no way can I see a ground miles out work in this case.

You know this area and how the area around the beach is overloaded with what 2/3000 vehicles on game day. Do you think the infrastructure is in place or in the plans to handle that even with the bypass? Theres something not sitting right with the whole thing. If it works fair enough but if i was a sheep I’d be asking a lot more questions than taking Milne etc’s word as gospel especially concerning the finance.

Will they maintain the same interest Yeah thats kind of how I see it too. Holiday Inn and the Broadstraik aren’t exactly designed for footie pubs. Can’t think of any others. Can see Tesco , Costco etc being unhelpful if they start using their parking which with people up here is almost a given they will. Park and Ride might work but most people around here aren’t interested in it. Maybe the club could use an incentive to make people use it but even then.... I’v been in the traffic back to Manchester airport many times after Old Trafford and thats horrendous , however the whole experience is something far different to Aberdeen City Centre to Westhill. If it worked i’v no issue with it. Another decent stadium and facilities for Scottiah football but like I said something just doesn’t seem right with it or the financing which as you said no one seems to consider a problem.

Even with the layout made clear of how we were paying for our NMS there was shortfall and contingency plans and for the most part transparency. There just seems to be we’ll sell Pittodrie at x amount which to me seems unlikely to be achieved unless Milne sells to Milne at an overinflated rate.

He left in disgrace before but is back and minted. They'vegot other benefactors too who helped write off the debt. My take on it. Things are positive right now. But staying there is going to be tough. Will training facilities really make them and moneys are not freely flowing in the corporate sector. The city is steady but requires a bit of reinvention. We don't get much new up here so from a city point of view I think it will excite a lot of people initially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IveSeenTheLight Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 3 hours ago, corryjambo said: Like most things you post on here that is utter crap and written more in hope than expectation. The only growth is in the amount of property sales in the area up 3.5% from a very very low base. The only reasonable indicator to use in determining the health of a housing market is house prices and they have fallen by a further 2.7% up to the third quarter of 2017. The average price of a property in Aberdeen is only 0.8% higher than it was 5 years ago. You would have been as well keeping your money in a chest under your bed and it would have been probably safer. Your facts are incorrect, Aberdeen did just post a marginal YoY growth, first time since 2015. Incidentally, the rental business is based on Rental Yield, not property growth, that’s just a bonus when you realise your asset through sale.

Incidentally....you need people to take on properties to rent and the economy in Aberdeen is on its ass. Therefore you can predict all the rental yield you want but the yields have dropped on average around 40% and on many properties up to around 60% in the last few years. A lot of these properties were bought at inflated prices. Look at Urquhart Court. Rental yield was predicted based on rental values of over 1kpcm for a 2bed and within months of them being bought up at silly prices due to the predictions of the yield available , the rental values had dropped to around £800pcm. Point is due to all these factors and continual building of houses it is dangerous to expect an amount for Pittodrie based on indicators from before the crash which is what you were asked ages ago. What is the amount they expect to get for Pittodrie based on , or will Milne overpay because its for the club and take a hit to his business?

Best thing would be for Aberdeen to manage the property builds and sales. There are plenty margin, so even selling slightly cheaper they’d be better off, not that that will happen. The oil market has been poor, but there are some extremely encouraging signs. 2018 is expected to be our busiest for a long, long time. Selling Pittodrie would be about 2021 / 2022, so May have time to recover a bit.

So when were the figures for Pittodrie done? , it would make sense they are based on selling properties on the site at x amount and now due to the massive downturn (allowing for a busy year the ecomony in Aberdeen will NOT recover to anywhere near where it was) are these figures obselete or fanciful. I agree that financially it may be better to keep the property and put the demolition and building work to a 3rd party. Milne could do this at a lower rate benefitting the club and his legacy. However with the market stagnant and property sales slow and rentals down it may prove financially constraining to do this. Therefore where would the missing money come from for Kingsford?

Cormack is also starting to bring new investors from the US, which is a market the club has never had investment before from. There has been talk of a legacy being left. With the combined wealth of Milne and more so Cormack, even if the new ground is covered (owned) by them two, it’s a drop in the ocean for them.

dallan Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Had a very heated debate with a couple of ‘holier than thou’ sheep a couple of years back, in Ma Cameron’s to be more specific, all about living beyond our means.
