Aberdeen FC Sets 18–24 Month Deadline Ahead of Friday Council Talks on Beachfront Stadium

Club leaders seek clear political commitment to trigger a full feasibility study.

Overview

  • Chairman David Cormack told the AGM the club will consider walking away if the stadium plan shows no progress within 18 to 24 months.
  • Chief executive Alan Burrows said he and Cormack will meet senior Aberdeen City Council representatives on Friday to discuss the proposal.
  • Burrows identified a bona fide feasibility study as the next step, contingent on explicit support from elected members.
  • The beachfront plan faces public opposition from some councillors after reports the latest proposal could be rejected, and Cormack warned leaving the city centre would be catastrophic for Aberdeen.
  • Cormack cited assessments projecting a £1.6bn economic uplift over 50 years, potentially rising above £3bn for a multi‑use facility with the club as a long‑term paying tenant; AGM business also confirmed board changes and ongoing talks with midfielder Dante Polvara.
