Aberdeen FC chair reveals rising cost of new stadium, blaming 'construction inflation'

Aberdeen Football Club's chairman has said plans for a new stadium are now likely to cost up to £75m - £30m more than previously estimated - blaming “construction inflation”.

Dave Cormack explained that the project was estimated to cost £45m five years ago, but that figure had gone up significantly due to wider economic inflation and increased material costs.

The Scottish Premiership club hopes to move into the new stadium on the city's seafront by 2025.
