ABERDEEN FC: PITTODRIE PUT UP FOR SALE

Aberdeen have put their Pittodrie Stadium on the market ahead of their move to a new ground at Loirston Loch.

The Scottish Premier League side hope the sale of the ground, that has been their home since 1903, will raise valuable funds to make the switch to the reported £38 million stadium in the 2013/14 season.

The club's chief executive Duncan Fraser said, "I am confident the sale of Pittodrie will attract interest from both national and local developers. We would hope that the sale value of Pittodrie together with the naming rights and a secured mortgage will mean that we will be more than 80% there in terms of raising the £38 million required for our new home."

Planning permission for 350 residential properties on the Pittodrie Stadium site was granted in April.
