Plans to build a new 20,000-seater stadium for Aberdeen FC went on display at their current home yesterday.
The Dons want to move to the west of the city at Kingsford, between Kingswells and Westhill.
But the campaign group opposing the move claimed this week that the stadium would spoil the character of their neighbourhood, and dominate the area.
As well as housing 20,000 fans, there would be training facilities, a football academy, a pavilion containing offices and a gym.
There would also be a heritage museum charting the club’s history as well as a “red cafe” and a memorial garden.
Yesterday, the No to Kingsford group released a video showing where the stadium would be built and showing how close it would be to residential areas.
It also released a statement claiming there was a lot of concern from nearby residents.
It said: “There is absolutely no doubt that Westhill will lose its character and identity.
“Westhill would become defined by this imposing structure which would dominate the current green and rural landscape.
“The recent consultation events by Aberdeen Football Club have done nothing to allay the fears of many residents in Westhill and Kingswells.
“Many raised issues such as the impact of thousands of supporters walking along the busy A944 and significant difficulties in moving such a large volume of people to the area on public transport.
“As identified in the Aberdeen City Council local development plan, this area is greenbelt.
“Any development on this area is a significant departure from local planning and should be blocked by Aberdeen City Council.”
George Yule, the vice-chairman of Aberdeen FC, said “speculation” about the site was unhelpful during the early planning stage.
He said: “We are looking to build on land that has been a closed landfill which could not have been built on until now.
“The planning process will go before the council planners and we will have to make sure what we are doing meets onerous standards.
“If it does not meet environmental, landscape, noise and pollution standards the likelihood is that it will not get planning approval.”
“We are collecting views of local communities and we understand concerns but what is unhelpful is some of the speculation running around.”
