We are under as much threat now as the Admins, make no mistake.
No ground (just a rented derilect hovel) , no team, no fight left in what's left of the support and what appears to be a clueless man in charge, a frustrated and disinterested owner and local directors who either do nothing or fanny about with "community" projects.
I think there's an ever increasing chance of dundee fc dissapearing and em not sure many give a **** anymore.
I know a plenty of dundee fans....I only know 1.....****ing 1, who was at the game last night.
Never sure if you genuinely believe that there is so much danger for our club as you state.
For a start it would be very unbusinesslike for FPS to pull the plug and make no attempt to sell DFC as a loss making football club. Changes of ownership take place all the time and I'd be very surprised if FPS just walked away from all the money they have spent already. I'm not sure if they have bought the ground at Campy or it has been sold to them subject to planning consent, but it would seem that getting planning consent for a football stadium implies that there will be a football club able to play on it and able to pay for it.
As for the fans not caring, I think that there is an element of that appearing in the forums. I don't recall the postings during Admin 1 and 2 because I wasn't involved with forums then so perhaps you could confirm that this is a new phenomenon. If it is something that we have not had before then it should be a real worry for the owners. FWIW, I had put it down to a negotiating tactic being used by those who think that the price is too high to attend Dens.
There are a lot of our fans who are unhappy, in fact all of our fans are unhappy, but that is part of being a football supporter. When things are bad we moan and create doomsday scenarios, when things improve we moan and say we should be doing better.
As for the community projects I'm afraid this is a sign that football is being helped by the potential for government funding, or governmental approval for plans to develop football. There are health benefits in taking regular exercise and organised football is still a major component of organised physical activity for our youngsters. There's pressure to increase the participation rates and encourage women to play football and it would be remiss of the board of DFC to ignore these opportunities.
As for you only knowing 1 fan who went to the game last night your other friends missed an object lesson from Celtic in how to behave badly both on and off the pitch. Falling down every time they lost the ball in a tackle, moaning against every decision given against them by the referee - it was an object lesson in intimidation. I thought our players stuck to their task admirably and there were some decent tackles going in late on. Celtic played their first team and the gulf in class and organisation was very apparent. No amount of heart and spirit was ever going to make enough of a difference.
We didn't give up, we were just not in the same league as Celtic - end of.
Deadly serious.
I look at my own Dee acquaintances only 1 ( who posts on here) I would describe as a big fan now the rest of us have dwindled from being able to conjure up enuf to fill a bus at very short notice to anything from sheer apathy to it's no the end of the world if they dissapear.
B cram you cud let folk in for nothing we would not get more than 6k for a run of the mill league game.
I thought we were absolute guff last night, deacon, Kamara, Miller, Curran I cud go on want to take a look at themselves.
Thank Christ odea and ksunga started to threaten a Cple of sair anes otherwise Celtic wuda kept going.
When I think of the yanks I think of the gambling aware adverts....when the fun stops...stop.
