Dons chairman Dave Cormack last night made a fresh appeal to Aberdeen City Council not to shut the door on the football club relocating to the beachfront.
Council leaders had put the ball firmly in the Dons' court by insisting any new stadium was dependent on capital investment by the club.
Councillors will discuss a report from chief commercial officer Craig Innes tomorrow, but Mr Cormack has urged them not to pull the plug on a proposed new home for the club as part of the beach masterplan.
The Press and Journal says the Dons chairman told shareholders at the club's annual meeting at Pittodrie: "We've been looking for a home for long time. This option at the beach...it's one we want to continue to explore.
"The stadium is still in the plan and, if it is ratified on Wednesday, I would urge everyone to think of the future of Aberdeen.
"We are a willing participant and our appeal is for us all to get together, get on the same page and get out there with a joint front to try to raise the money we need from government and commercial sources to try to get this project done.
Get together
"Our appeal to the administration and city council is to get together over the next few months and really look at what this can do for Aberdeen.
"Just as you can congratulate the council for spending £400million on TECA, can you imagine what we could do by developing Beach Boulevard?"
A new £80million stadium at Aberdeen beach could inject at least £1billion into the local economy over the next 50 years
The council's insistence on Aberdeen FC funding the venue itself has become the major stumbling block in recent weeks, but Mr Cormack believes hurdles can be overcome if the stadium remains part of the masterplan.
He said: "The council are meeting on Wednesday to discuss the overall masterplan itself.
"There will be subsequent meetings which take place and, right now from reading the reports, the stadium is part of the masterplan.
Another question
"But how it gets funded is another question.
"We were approached about two years ago by the administration at the time and asked how we could help the city and keep the club in the city centre. Because economically it makes sense for them.
"We began a dialogue which has gone on over the last 18 months.
"At a higher level, the first minister wants Aberdeen to be the net-zero capital of the world.
"In order for us to achieve that and bring thousands of higher-paid jobs to Aberdeen for that as the oil dies down over time, we need an infrastructure where families want to come and live in Aberdeen.
"The most important thing is, when we go out to look at funding sources for a joint stadium, it is a council stadium.
Up for debate
"When you are talking to potential partners the first question they ask is Aberdeen City Council 100% on board with this. With the recent press, it's up for debate.
"Until such time as we can get everyone round the table we have to go out positively to these potential funding sources, where there are grants available."
Mr Cormack confirmed that, should the beach masterplan option collapse then the club will revert to its original plan of building a stadium at Kingsford next to the training ground, Cormack Park.
