Scottish Premier League Club Aberdeen Reopens Talks On New Stadium In Cove

Scottish Premier League side Aberdeen Chair Stewart Milne has revealed that "talks have re-opened with the city council about a move away from Pittodrie," according to THE SCOTSMAN. Speaking at the club's annual general meeting, he told Dons shareholders that "Loirston Loch, near Cove, is still the preferred venue for a relocation which has been mooted for years but beset by development problems." Milne also confirmed that Calder Park "is now not an option for training facilities but expects an alternative site to be in place before a new ground is built." Milne: "We still see Loirston as the best location for the new stadium and in recent months we have reopened discussions with Aberdeen City Council about trying to reach an agreement on the purchase of the land which would allow us to go ahead with our plans" (SCOTSMAN, 11/26).
