Plans have been unveiled for a new stadium and training facility for Aberdeen Football Club.

The site is at Kingsford, adjacent to the Aberdeen – Westhill road (A944) and 200m from the new Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) junction. “Kingsford offers an opportunity to locate both the stadium and the training facilities within a single site, as was the original plan for Loirston, and it is in an ideal location for supporters travelling from all areas in and around Aberdeen,” said club chairman Stewart Milne, who is also exectuive chairman of the construction company that carries his name.

He added: “Crucially, we have full control of the site via a concluded missive with the landowner. Extensive site diligence has already been carried out at Kingsford to establish the feasibility of the land area and also the requirements for the planning process.”
