Aberdeen Football Club have announced that Loirston Loch in Nigg has been recommended as the preferred site for the club’s £38m new stadium.

Pittodrie, home of the club since 1899, is in a poor state of repair and struggles to meet safety standards.

Competing plans to redevelop Kings Links, across the road from the club’s Pittodrie home were deemed too expensive and constrained.

The findings will go out to consultation prior to referral to Aberdeen City Council’s policy and strategy committee on April 28.

Due for completion in 2012 the proposed community stadium will have a capacity of 22,000.
