    Keyes wanting 75% is definitely a bit suspect as the property holdings company which would become the parent doesn't actually do anything to generate losses so not sure about that part. It would also make the club easier to sell as someone just buys the holding company. If they are ready to abandon their £2m investment c'est la vie

    Not sure on this,but I seem to remember you need 75% to change the articles of association. Which would mean those 'entrenched rights' could be removed.

    Like I say,not sure if that percentage figure is correct,I am sure someone would know

    Very concerning if that's correct

    preparing the groundwork at least. If there's a negative reaction to the season ticket packages across the board they may just let the club fend for itself till they can get away

    you need 75% of all classes of share which retain voting rights which they will never have

As for not knowing what league, welcome to the world of the Dundee fan where that happens quite a bit, like the last two seasons, perhaps? People still renewed during 12/13 when relegation was a certainty and I don't remember DFCSS offering discounted rates as suggested on here, could be wrong as I didn't buy one. Might actually see some home wins next season if a decent manager can be found, as only one at home against the top sides and the team can't get any worse. So forget about the fixed price offer if it's too early, buy as you have been doing for years. Or don't, if you've had enough, couldn't blame anyone based on the past 2 managers' ineptitude.
    From memory I seem to remember that the Dundee FC board of directors directors had set the season ticket prices for the 2012-13 season based on us playing in the Championship. In the event we were promoted to the Premier League as Club 12 but the DFCSS directors on the board of Dundee Football Club held the season ticket prices as they had been agreed.
    This probably resulted in a greater than expected loss due to having to pay Premier League wages to players whilst charging Championship prices for season tickets.

    think the point is that the losses at DFC could be used to offset profits made in other group companies. you would think this was important for FPS going forward.
