I was going to say St Johnstone but Mcdiarmid's at least on the edge of the town.

I only see the 7 big city clubs as major tbh and that’s pushing it when you look at the two Dundee teams now.

Well by the look of it they’ve achieved something akin to the Tony Macaroni.

 

Hideous.

That's a big, chipper looking  crowd. Nothing like a bit of creative licence! So how long will it take that lot to get out the car park or onto the "shuttle buses". 1 hour. Two? Can just imagine the stories of lost Dons fans trying to cut across fields in their desperation to get home and being found snuggling sheep to stay warm...

 

 

 

Is that it ? Not being funny but that looks feking terrible.

I feel sorry for the free bar hospitality group .Get kicked out at 7pm in the pitch black In middle of nowhere . Imagine a few hundred all out at same time . They drunk it snowing and next bus not due for 30 mins ....bus comes along and only space for 20 Haha . We lucky to have Tynecastle where it is a short walk to centre or 5 mins on a bus.

Looks pretty soulless doesn't it. Not unlike the club tbh so perhaps a goos fit.

[kingantti1874]

Awful, a couple of bad seasons in this place and their crowds will drop below the 8k they were getting pre derek mcinnes.

Further, if we were able to redevelop Pittodrie, we would not benefit from the proceeds of the sale of the site.

 

And who would they be selling the site to? Not SM Homes by any chance?

I'm not trolling. I just think 'soulless' is an overly used nonsense term when it comes to new stadiums. You've done nothing to convince me otherwise.

Disappointed Peter Van De Ven was not considered.

[upgotheheads]

I would think that Miller and McLeish are shoe-ins, and Hewitt for his winning goal in the cup winners cup will be there but why not Eric Black the other scorer?

He did leave Aberdeen under a bit of a cloud I seem to remember but it seems petty to leave him out,

Welcome to being Aberdeen fans 🤪

 

Seriously though, there should be some good candidates beyond the normal expectation.

 

Alec Young - PLAYED IN EVERY LEAGUE MATCH AS THE DONS WON THEIR FIRST EVER LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP. HE WOULD ALSO GO ONTO WIN THE LEAGUE CUP IN THE FOLLOWING SEASON.

 

Chris Anderson - FORMER PLAYER WHO HELPED TO TRANSFORM THE CLUB AFTER JOINING THE BOARD IN 1967. INSTRUMENTAL IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FIRST ALL COVERED, ALL SEATED GROUND IN BRITISH FOOTBALL.

 

Joe Harper - THE KING OF THE BEACH END’ IS ABERDEEN’S ALL – TIME LEADING GOAL SCORER. JOE SCORED 199 GOALS IN 300 APPEARANCES AND WON ALL DOMESTIC HONOURS WITH THE CLUB.

 

Donald Coleman - ONE OF THE GAMES EARLIEST AND GREATEST INNOVATORS. HE AMASSED 346 APPEARANCES FOR THE DONS AND LATER RETURNED AS A TRAINER. FOLLOWING A TRIP TO NORWAY HE WOULD HELP BRING THE DUGOUT TO THE BRITISH GAME.

 

Eoin Jess - MADE 380 APPEARANCES AND 94 GOALS AT PITTODRIE, JESS IS ONE OF THE MOST NATURALLY GIFTED PLAYERS TO EVER PULL ON AN ABERDEEN JERSEY. WINNER OF THREE TROPHIES AND IS THE ONLY ABERDEEN PLAYER TO WIN THE PFA YOUNG PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD TWICE.

 

Teddy Scott - SERVED THE DONS THROUGH SIX DECADES IN A NUMBER OF ROLES INCLUDING PLAYER, COACH AND KITMAN. AWARDED A TESTIMONIAL MATCH AGAINST MANCHESTER UNITED IN 1999 WHERE A CAPACITY CROWD TURNED UP TO SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION FOR A MAN WHO GAVE HIS LIFE TO AFC.

I'm voting for the 'Bandy pitch' named after that well known useless Hibs Keeper Jim 'my legs are open' Leighton

Jess could be a shout once he reaches his full potential.

It was more because as a training complex, naming a training pitch after the only Aberdeen player to win the young or a player of the year seems a worthwhile nod

Sources tell me "The Sheep Pen Arena" is the preferred candidate followed by "The Dolly Dome" 

[indianajones]

Velcro glove dome. 

[Stephen Muddie]

Ah, the famous Baaracana. Can't wait 'til Aberdeen FINALLY get their medicine for not touching their stadium in 30 years.

Wiggy was always the one who insisted that TawdryPit was unredevelopable. And he's going. So perhaps sense prevailing.

I actually enjoy having g other teams fans on here, as long as they're not dicks that is.

The poster you're moaning needlessly about, I've seen the light, is alright. Never comes on here to troll people, just lines to talk about football.
