  • After over a century at Pittodrie, Aberdeen are preparing to leave. They have identified a site for a new stadium on the outskirts of the city and plan to move there by 2020.
    Some fans accept the need to leave home, but others would rather find a solution to ensure that they stay. This is the story of the club's internal debate.

    Always had a soft spot for Aberdeen ever since a mate of mine came down to London from Aberdeen to work, he was an Aberdeen nut and used to come to watch West Ham with me because he missed football so much.
    Best of luck to you all and much success.

    5:00 Westhill will thus gain MASSIVE economic benefits then. The Stadium isn't even in Westhill itself. Take Ross County FC for example. They have a stadium that has a capacity of more than their population - but it brings tourism and economic benefit to the whole area.
    Why don't we just cancel the Highland Games in the likes of Aboyne and Braemar, where instead of double the population, 5-10 times the population attend. That would destroy tourism and destroy the fame of the area. Rejecting this stadium would basically be doing the same.

      No it won't impact the road you idiot. The bypass will have a junction right by the stadium, as well as shortly after to the North East of Westhill. That is a pathetic argument.

    Westhill is a feeder town for Aberdeen, the majority of it relatively new. Makes the case for complaining about new constructions even weaker. The argument that there will be no economic benefit to the town is simply ludicrous. As for the population increase - how many thousands travel to the office area just outside Westhill each day? How many use travel to use the Park and Ride? How many travel to use the Tesco? Westhill is more than used to an influx of people on a daily basis.

    I think a new stadium would be good for the club and the game here in general. Sentiment is all great but you have to progress.

    People saying “oh it’ll increase traffic” on one day a week and sometimes two not 365/366 days a year also there’s a parking lot they won’t just park anywhere we only do that now because there’s no proper parking and now the grass by the driving range has been blocked by the council

    Very good short movie, we as a club & a city need to move with the times. Yes Pittodrie holds loads of good memories for generations of Dons fans, but that's all they are, memories. We can create new ones at the new stadium and take the club into the 21st century. COYR **

    Stupid location for a stadium its miles out of Aberdeen, redevelop Pittodrie or build it on the Lynx, it is possible. If they build Kingsford after a few home games and the novelty wears off crowds will go down below 10k.

    5:30 'Everybody will be exiting the Stadium at the same time.'
    Do you even have a clue of how match days work? The losing side leave first, and then the winning side (especially if that is the home team) will stay a bit after the match and go gradually in their own time, and then probably go their own ways into Westhill for food or shopping, or direct back to their homes, either in Aberdeen, or in Deeside and the wider area.
    THERE WILL NOT BE 20,000 CARS ON THE SAME ROAD AT THE SAME TIME HEADING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
    NOR WILL THERE BE EVEN 5,000.

      There are pedestrian crossings already in a place near to the proposed site if I am right, and if not then they WILL be added. 5:43

    An empty field is inappropriate for a Stadium is it? Well fine then, but when other companies want to buy the land for either property development or a business park, you can expect the same levels of traffic or 'doubling of the population' as you would with a Stadium. 06:23
