Think the pressure from supporters to advance the stadium will not make any difference. We should be plotting a plan B,imo.

Just for my own amusement b cram......get me thru next winter, that and dabs staying DOON. 😎

But you have to factor in that Nelmsy said 'the timeline is quite tight and it (never specified what it is) might not happen'.

Open ended targets and non specific terminology are the friends of the owl.

31 August is end of summer, was gonna give him to clocks going back and start of British winter but 31 August is a better test. 😄

2 or 3 sided stadium doesnae coont.

Playing at tannadice and calling it home....doesnae coont.

Another drawing or you tube video with non specific future date doesnae coont.

A stadium with safety certificate wins.

If there's a new stadium, in a condition that can be played in or near as damn it, at Campy on Sunday 31st August 2025 everybody (all regular posters on here) to be at Doc Stewarts at 3pm - meh roond.

All caveats as per RRoS post #5 above to be satisfied.

Several days ago I had a discussion with a Dundee supporter about the new stadium development on a Dundee FC supporters Facebook site.
This supporter told me that Dundee FC would receive all the income from the new stadium which would include the restaurants and bars while the income from the other sites would repay the cost of the loans to build the new stadium development.
I asked this poster what the new stadium development was going to cost.
He replied that he did not know.
I told him that the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce published details of their investigation into the cost of the new Aberdeen FC stadium close to the beach and included in the report it stated that the estimated cost of the new stadium development at the Camperdown retail park (Campy Nou) in Dundee was in the region of £140 million.
That was the end of our conversation as the Dundee supporter never replied.
This is what we are up against.
Dundee supporters who believe everything that Nelms says and are following him like the Pied Piper.
Over a year ago it was stated that the new stadium which Dundee Football Club were building was going to cost between £40 million - £50 million to build. Now Nelms states that the cost of building the new stadium has increased by £10 million but he cannot tell us what the new estimated cost will be.

Is there no alternative attitude that could be constructive? For as long as this project has been promoted there has been almost 100% posts that say this isn't going to happen. What about trying to bring in new investors? What about ground sharing at Dens and redevelopment at Dens?

There must be guys who are Dees who know about project management and finance for projects like this? For example a repayable 25 year mortgage for £40m might cost £3m a year. What kind of additional activities relating to a football pitch could generate the additional income to pay back thr mortgage. As a guide £3m could be generated by an additional 10k of fans paying £300 for their ST. It seem unlikely unless the team actually plays in Europe on a regular basis. Maybe it isn't a pipedream?

Most have been extremely sceptical, not many have said it won't happen.

And some like me would prefer it didn't.

We are playing in a dump with a guy that keeps putting forward ridiculous dates, then extending ad infinitum.

For the record I'm still 90% certain it will never happen - I want it to but am also pretty sure it won't.
