D4L AGM ever?

Think it's November.

Hope some that go hold the committees feet to the fire.

Glad to see you helping to publicise this event. I see holding feet to fire is still your topic. Was thinking that perhaps trying to find common ground with DSA might be more useful.

Not a member B cram, not after they let everyone down.

But I just hope those that are ask questions of their committee......because D4L are part of the problem until they do.

Agree. Board of Dee4life would probably welcome ideas for how to help our club.

But 'the club' won't let Dee4Life help them so what's the point?

Putting good ideas forward is always worthwhile. I would not really worry if John Nelms found a way to use suggestions made by Dee4life.

To be fair he does have previous for looking at other people's ideas, letting those people do the hard work to set it all up then taking the whole thing for himself.

Exactly! Hope the 1893 Foundation is still working!

The DSA committee members are not holding any meetings with the Dee4life board of directors because the Football Club were not happy about some comments in a recent Dee4life newsletter.
I assume that the Football Club (John Nelms) told the DSA committee members not to hold meetings with the Dee4life board of directors otherwise the DSA would not get their usual allocation of tickets for Away games.

Nelms will not listen to any suggestions made by Dee4life unless it involves handing over all their funds plus the A shares which will never happen on my watch.

The details about the 1893 Foundation have not been updated since they changed the rules in May 2024.
Yesterday I was speaking to a life long Dundee FC supporter about the 1893 Foundation.
We both agreed that the funds raised by the 1893 Foundation should be earmarked for a particular topic such as the AberDNA and AU500 fundraising schemes which state the funds raised are handed over to increase the manager?s playing budget.
We do not know what the 1893 Foundation money is being spent on as Nelms has never told us.

This is your opinion. I really don't care if suggestions from fans are appropriated by the club, for the club's eventually benefit.

Islay, why assume the reason for not talking is John Nelms inspired? It may be completely wrong and create mischief. Surely a decent Dee would not want to create trouble among groups of supporters?

I'm not 100% sure if Islay's assumption is correct but it is a fair one to make. DSA allow themselves to be dictated to by John Nelms because if they push back they know they'll lose their privilged status with him.
