  • Can cup win renew stadium focus?published at 15:27 31 May

    Aberdeen chief executive Alan Burrows says the club's Scottish Cup triumph may jump start talks over a new stadium.

    Plans to move away from Pittodrie have slowed recently after a decade of talk around a move away from the club's spiritual home.

    A proposed shift to a site near the club's training ground moved on to a regeneration of a beach front site, however Burrows says "plans have slowed down".

    "It's been decades in the making," he told Sportsound.

    "What can I tell you on the back of all those scenes in Aberdeen over the last four or fives days is a renewed reminder of the power of football but the city of Aberdeen.

    "There's certainly been communication with the local authority and myself and others at the club. There's a willingness to get back around the table."
