Not sure if I'm in favour of relocation, but if I was, not sure I could have picked a better site that the one proposed. Union Terrace Gardens was always my preferred location.

Peterculter to Aberdeen - 7.6m Westhills to Aberdeen - 9.0m FFS, that's a two hour walk - each way. That will make the walk to Hampden seem like a wee stroll.

Cove_Sheep Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 If the ground was actually in Westhill (not Westhills) it would be outwith the city boundary too. Seeing as the proposed stadium is going to be within the city boundary, it's not in Westhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask me why goodle maps does that but it does the same thing in Peterculter and goes for a wee drive. Either way the shortest route from both to the centre is 7.4 & 7.6 miles meaning the are the same in terms of being far flung outside of Aberdeen in deep neebziod land which is exactly what I said to begin with. Boom II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Oh aye right because 0.2 miles apart is not accurate enough for this thread. Who the fukk do you think you are NASA.

You said 9.0 miles rather than the 6.6 miles it actually is from the train station (that you chose as a reference point). Still, keep digging a hole for yourself - it's helping my afternoon pass a little quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're meant to be an adult, but instead have decided to claim the potential new ground is in the middle of an empty field by using an old photo and that it's far away by using an inaccurate map.

You would hope it is an empty field. What happens if they turn up to start building it and there are all these houses already there. The guy with the old photo will have a lot to answer for.

I picked the same soulless city centre shopping centre as the same destination for both the Peterculter and Westhill. It was a bit tricky with the new version of google maps but the point stands. Westhill and Peterculter are about equidistant from the centre of Aberdeen. You can make a big argument out of it but that just shows you up for being a super sensitive Aberdonian p****.
