buzzbomb1958 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I see today that Aberdeen's new stadium has already gone up in price from £40mill to £50 mill and a spade hasn't touched the ground yet anyone think it will be a lot more on completion Im taking a guess and saying they will get no change out of £60mill, just a guess by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfie Conn Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Ours went from £400m to £850m which is broadly in line with the builders golden rule....whatever you are quoted...double it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 A £50m+, sheep shaped white elephant. Aberdeen FC have a ceiling, potential wise, and I genuinely feel these plans are way to grandiose and ambitious. Geographically they have limited appeal to most of the Scottish population and I can't see them being bigger and better than they are now.

Section Q Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Good luck to them if they can improve their stadium. I think they'll be affected by the relocation though. Crowds to dwindle methinks. Thankful we're still in Gorgie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearer £850mn but that includes quite a bit of other stuff as well as the stadium itself. Some of our corporate packages are in the £100k per annum range and the stadium is taking £800k+ in food and drink revenue per match so im sure it will all work out in the end. Hopefully we will get a decent naming rights deal which will also help.....a firm without a red logo hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predominantly £1k-£1500 but with a £700-£220 range. For the £700 tickets you also have to have a childs ticket - ie, a family ticket although there are very few of these.

They've apparently got 12 million ready, which is to pay for thre training ground - I don't know if that's gone up by 20% or if the original figures were fudge.

MCW1976 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Can’t start a new thread about this as I don’t post much (if ever) on JKB. I was only able to start a new thread within Help and Support. Maybe a regular thread starter could assist? Here is what I posted: Good friend of mine phoned me this afternoon immediately after talking to Ryan McGowan (of 5-1 fame) in the club store/ticket office. The legend stood and bought a ticket with zero recognition from staff. Should this be happening? I can only presume that the club were not aware of this situation? It’s not right - for obvious reasons. Surely he’d be a massive hit in the supporters suites at Tynecastle before the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there isn't. There's barely enough room for the stands just now running down the side of the pitch. What angle are you proposing to turn the pitch by?
