Aberdeen FC calls £80m council funding request for beachfront stadium 'premature'

Aberdeen FC chairman Dave Cormack has called Aberdeen City Council's request to know how much funding the club would put forward for proposed beachfront stadium "premature".

Aberdeen's proposed new arena, which replaced talk to move the club to Kingsford, would cost an estimated £80m to build. It is believed that the new venue would inject £1bn into the local economy over the next half-century, should plans go ahead.

Discussions have been underway over how the stadium will be funded, with some opposition to putting public money into the scheme.
