The Move To Calder Park
On Friday, 30 July 2010, an article was placed in, the local Aberdeen paper, the Evening Express that Stewart Milne, the chairman of Aberdeen F.C., had bought their home ground Alan Park. From the money that Cove got they could finally build their proposed project at Calder Park. The stadium is supposed to be a 1,000 all-seated stadium. The proposed new stadium would maximise their chances of getting into the SFL after getting rejected on 3 June 2008 because they didn't have a good enough stadium. Aberdeen City Council have since voted the plan out which may cause Cove to exit the Highland Football League due to new stadium requirements being put in place. This may force Aberdeen F.C. to move out of the city which some people see as the end of senior football in Aberdeen.
