Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes has urged the city's council to approve the club's plans for a new stadium and linked training facilities, decribing it as 'the single biggest decision for this football club'.

The proposed £50 million development at Kingsford, near Westhill, has attracted local opposition but McInnes insists leaving Pittodrie for the new site can be a “game-changer” for the club.

The Dons manager was speaking at a hearing at Aberdeen Town House where both supporters and opponents of the project were represented.
