tsr Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I don't understand how the sale of Pittodrie will contribute anything, the debt is tied to the stadium therefore the sale of the stadium means the debt gets repaid first?

RDU_64 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I don't understand how the sale of Pittodrie will contribute anything, the debt is tied to the stadium therefore the sale of the stadium means the debt gets repaid first? Surely if thats the case then the sale of Pittodrie will contribute a lot to the club as it can only be a good thing that the level of debt is reduced. Is it not that the land that Pittodrie is situated on is worth significantly more than the land the new stadium will be built on, therefore making a substantial step to reducing the debt?

tsr Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I think Pittodrie is valued at £18M or so....debt is £13M and rising. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/2019-new-stadium-thread/page/17/#findComment-105975
mizer Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I think Pittodrie is valued at £18M or so....debt is £13M and rising. Was that pre economic slump? Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/2019-new-stadium-thread/page/17/#findComment-105978
Jute Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Was that pre economic slump? Was just about to ask how recent that valuation was. Suspect that land might not be worth as much now.

manc_don Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 It's another step in the right direction. It will certainly be interesting to see what value we will get for Pittodrie. That valuation seems to ring a bell with the pre slump figure, when this proposal was mooted some 4 years ago.

Edinburghdon Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm fairly sure the valuation was pre slump, however the idea of getting planning permission for the land prior to selling it is much more recent and will offset the drop in valuation due to the economy.

Kowalski Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 i'll be stunned if its not an oil company I don't think calling it the "BP/Shell/Exxon-Mobil/etc.. Arena" would be all that bad. Not sure about a green and yellow BP logo outside the stadium though.

tom_widdows Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Might be an idea to approach Conoco and see if they will move their naming rights to the North East of Scotland since the New Grimsby town stadium is basically dead.
