True, though with the money generated from selling one site and rebuilding on the other I wonder if they could afford a hybrid pitch

True, but would you still be able to play on it 48 weeks a year? I genuinely don't know.

Aberdeen have been wanting to leave pittodrie site for 20years now it appears they have got to move as ground is no longer suitable.
Stewart Milne trying to scaremonger council into approving plans by saying McInnes will leave and the would have to play European games in central belt what rubbish.
As for sharing a ground with Cove that was never the plan,both clubs were offered land at loirsten Cove agreed and is in process of being built Aberdeen refused.

Sorry but that's a totally revisionist view of Hibs recent history. We didn't suffer for over a decade due to funding our facilities and stadium. Firstly we haven't suffered for a decade - pick any 10 year rolling period from the last 25 and they'd be broadly consistent with Hibs historic performance.

Secondly - the poor results over a prolonged period weren't due to hardship generated by funding infrastructure. At any point in that period we would still be in the top 6 or 7 for budget.... any suffering was caused by mismanagement, pure and simple

This could turn into an exam question:

"Do you agree with My Jo or is Tyler right about that being a "revisionist" view?Explain your answer with examples"



IMO we were very fortunate to have a great crop of sellable players at the right time and the management of that into new facilities was well done.Over that period however and for some time after developement things were bad from the footballing perspective.

Thankfully we are now back with a great manager great squad and great facilities.

Lazio, Roma, Inter and AC Milan are all far bigger clubs (with far bigger rivalries) than the Dundee duo, and they respectively share stadia without any problems.

There's absolutely no reason whatsoever that the Dundee clubs couldn't share a stadium IMO, and the entire area surrounding Dens and Tannadice (which is one of the least aesthetic parts of Dundee) could be redeveloped accordingly.

It was announced today that Dundee is to be home of a major sporting centre, which would serve the needs of both clubs with regard to training facilities, very well indeed. But once again, the clubs have historically been resistant to joining forces with the Universities in the city, and as a result train either at the crappy astroturf next to both stadiums or at the various pitches around the city. Which is mind-boggling with the excellent facilities at Riverside.

There are huge problems with them sharing stadiums and all 4 are planning to move out asap.

Dundee plan for new stadium. Hope the council help them

Every manager was backed by the board but the signings were generally poor. Simple as that.
