I've not seen any poll asking that. It wouldn't be very accurate anyway as someone against the stadium will clearly say they won't go to try and sway the argument, but once it's actually built they likely will go.

But yet now we are tearing into Aberdeens new stadium before its even really landed. **** them they are an irrelevance, new stadium or not.

Yes, that’s what I meant by you not necessarily getting ‘honest answers” but if repeated you would get a trend, it would also show who was against the stadium move ( even if they would grudgingly still attend). anyway I hope you get the right decision - we need the non OF to be strong (with Hearts the strongest of course) if we are to keep Scottish football even at the level it is now.

Bazzas right boot Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Have they budgeted for the panic room? A place of solitude and security where the team and Derek can hide when rangers/ Celtic visit. It would need good plumbing as well. Also need a massage room budgeted for- where Milne can oil up the director's of said clubs when they visit. The General result will be a happy ending for all old firm parties.

Mikey1874 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 That is now a serious and notable record Aberdeen have this season in utter and complete failure in the bigger games. Losing every game to Rangers and Celtic and then Motherwell in the Cups. Well done for regularly beating the lesser teams. But that squad have a serious problem. Woeful.

Yes, it looks like Aberdeen are moving out of town just as the McInnes era starts to implode. In my opinion, next season may well see the Dons slip down to 6th, in which crowds will soon dip back into 4 figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crichiejambos Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Today is exactly what Aberdeen can't afford to do with a new stadium in the pipeline and certainly not when it's reality! This team is the best in a decade and it's not that good when it comes time to deliver they are woefull beat the Dundee's,Ross County's of this world fine but that's not good enough! They've to compete with the Celtic's and Rangers and very,very average teams in Europe(if they get there) they can't fill the stadium that they've got and that's in town what hope have they got when it's out of town......no chance.

But in our defence obviously our support imo have been through the mill and stuck with it,we've been absolute horses doofers for a conciderable time and if reports are to be believed going to continue if our new striker is 35 years old. Aberdeen fans especially younger ones don't know anything other than in the last while having for them a decent team and they're support is still poor so image with a shite team?
