    If John Brown was as good a manager as some Dundee FC supporters think he was how come he has never managed another professional football team.
    He has not even appeared as a pundit on BBC Scotland Sportscene which is full of failed football managers and players who cannot get employment at another professional football club.

    He voted Brexit.

    The management of Dundee Football Club must have been reading the details of this topic on Dundee Mad as the same deal for Dundee United season ticket holders using Xplore Dundee buses is now belatedly being offered to Dundee FC season ticket holders. https://dundeefc.co.uk/news/xplore-d...ith-dundee-fc/

    The reason for the delay had nothing to do with Dundee FC. The deal was agreed at the same time as United. Long before the topic was raised on Mad so again you talk rubbish.

    I first noticed the detail with United on the Xplore Dundee website but there was no details of a similar deal with Dundee Football Club.
    You might have ‘inside’ information or even be a member of the Dundee Football Club staff but ordinary Dundee FC supporters can only read what the management of Dundee Football Club choose to post on their website.

    The details about the offer for Dundee FC season ticket holders using Xplore Dundee buses has been ‘copied and pasted’ from the initial offer for Dundee United season ticket holders.
    It states that Xplore Dundee Number 1 bus stops on the corner of North Isla Street.
    However according to the list of every stop for the Xplore Dundee Number 1 bus route there is a stop at Dens Park. https://www.xploredundee.com/service...utbound&all=on
    The same ‘copy and pasted’ Xplore Dundee advert is on Page 29 of the Deeno Programme for today’s Aberdeen home game.

    Yes.
    The announcement advising the Xplore Dundee deal for Dundee FC season ticket holders should have stated that the Xplore Dundee Number 1 has a bus stop at Dens Park.
    Instead they have ‘copied and pasted’ the original announcement for Dundee United season ticket holders which states that the Number 1 stops at North Isla Street.
    I am not surprised about this ‘slap dash’ announcement by Xplore Dundee for Dundee FC season ticket holders as according to the Xplore Dundee website on 30th July 2024 Robbie Drummond was appointed Company Secretary and Finance Director of McGils. https://www.xploredundee.com/mcgills...ppointment-see
    Robbie Drummond was hopeless as the Chief Executive of Calmac Ferries and it will only be a matter of time before the Xplore Dundee buses are cancelled because it is too windy!

    So, it doesn't matter to anyone from Dundee then? But because there's a CalMac connection it matters a lot to you.

    Just get over yourself for all our sakes.

    Robbie Drummond was a disaster as Chief Executive of Calmac and as they say a leopard cannot change its spots.
