Fraudsters are using an address to lodge objections to the planned new Aberdeen FC stadium, according to the property’s owner.

Two letters from Aberdeen City Council were posted to Cameron Matthew’s address saying points made about the proposed Kingsford Stadium will be taken into account.

When Cameron checked the council planning website he discovered two people – who he doesn’t know – registered objections, claiming they live at his house.

Cameron – who is in favour of the stadium plans – believes the move came because his house has been up for sale for a long period leaving people to believe it is empty and is part of a plot to lodge extra objections to the planned stadium.

The 44-year-old hospital manager of Derbeth Grange, in Kingswells, said: “It’s obviously someone opposed to the stadium.

“Every box was ticked in objection to the plans.

“I have no idea who they are.

“It’s not a name I know or anyone I’ve come across.

“Our house has been up for sale for a long time, so I suspect they thought no one was here and the owners would never find out.”

The Dons lodged an application with Aberdeen City Council in January for the £50 million facilities near the Aberdeen bypass.

Plans for the 25-hectare site include three professional training pitches, two community 3G pitches, a community pavilion, a gym and an AFC heritage museum.

Cameron reported his concerns about the letter to the local authority on Wednesday.

A spokeswoman for Aberdeen City Council said: “We are aware of the situation as a result of it being brought to our attention by a member of the public.”

Around 5,000 objections have been lodged and a campaign against them has been led by the No Kingsford Stadium group.

It confirmed it had been handing out pre-filled letters for residents to put their names to.

Clare Davidson, a spokeswoman for the group, said: “No Kingsford Stadium has led a campaign to lodge complaints in an appropriate manner.

“We trust Aberdeen City Council will handle each and every comment in fair way.

“This case is not something we can comment on.

“We have to trust Aberdeen City Council’s process can weed out invalid responses on both sides.”

Aberdeen Football Club declined to comment.
