These are the latest images of how the Dons new stadium and community facilities could look.

It comes as Aberdeen FC begin seeking feedback on designs from the public.

The cost of the entire development has been estimated at around £46 million.

Vice-chairman of Aberdeen Football Club George Yule said: “The club means an awful lot to the people in this area.

“We have a responsibility to try and inspire people, but we need to be aspirational ourselves – we don’t want this club to be a backwater.

“So you’ve got to keep pushing forward and part of that formula is having facilities that fit into the 21st Century – we don’t have that here (Pittodrie) at present.

“We do know there are some concerns and objectors out there but the reality is wherever the club selects as a site there would be objectors. I think it’s our responsibility to satisfactorily address the concerns, not just of objectors, but of people affected by the move.” Players are currently unable to train at Pittodrie because the historic ground does not contain suitable facilities.

The new ground would be a fully enclosed, singular tier 20,000 -capacity stadium.

The 25-hectare development at Kingsford near Westhill would include two 3G pitches, training pitches and space for community facilities.

There would also be a memorial garden, a shop, museum, cafe, a concourse to create a “day out” experience for visitors, and around 1,300 parking spaces – one space to every 15 seats.

The community facilities are anticipated to be used for sports within public, private and voluntary sectors.

Aberdeen Football Club Community Trust (AFCCT) will run the facilities.

The stadium will be available from the A944 via three access points, open to vehicles and pedestrians.

A strategy would also be drawn up for public transport including both public and private coaches.

Cyclists will also be taken into account when drawing up the plans.

The plans have not been welcomed across the board, with the No Kingsford Stadium Community Action Group raising a number of concerns including safety on match days and antisocial behaviour.

Comments about the plans can be e-mailed to stadium@afc.co.uk until Friday, August 26.

Feedback can also be sent by post to Pittodrie referencing Kingsford Stadium.
