Official Nelmsy Campus Countdown

A lot of these clubs have single figure membership, our has less than 80 but take a bus every game, most of them don’t take buses to matches and are member clubs in name only, I’m not trying to belittle the DSA, just trying to show a more realistic number, you could probably push it to 1000

I have heard that there are about 1,000 members of DSA affiliated Dundee FC supporters clubs.
However there is no minimum number of members required to set up a Dundee FC supporters club affiliated to the DSA.
Back in 2012 it was suggested to me by I think Kenny Ross that I could set up an Islay Dundee FC supporters club which would then pay the required affiliation fee to become a member of the DSA.
There were only three adult Dundee FC supporters living on Islay so I decided not to bother.

Only 1 stab to answer this from BP.

Not my question but comes from someone who knows a wee bit.

Even paying zero interest it's 950k a year to pay back 95 mill

I'd be really impressed if no interest paid. 😆

Do you think he means it costs the football club 750k now but as the stadium won't be the football clubs there will be zero maintenance.

Confused DSC

Several years ago I seem to remember Nelms stating that he was going to take a back seat running Dundee Football Club and instead concentrate on his new stadium development at the Camperdown Leisure Park.
This must have been at one of his half yearly roll outs of his Lego box design of his new stadium development.

You would have been entitled to purchase 3 POTY tickets had you done so

I think that some of the other Dundee FC supporters clubs would have been up in arms if a POTY had been over subscribed and a wee supporters club with three members received 100% of their tickets request.

DSA members are the 23 member clubs x there membership, I’d hazard a guess at between 650 and 700

According to discussion at the Dee4life members meeting held online a week past Monday the DSA have 32 member clubs with the addition of all the members of these clubs totalling between 2,000 and 3,000 people. One Dundee FC supporters club has two members.
It was also mentioned that there was a Dundee FC supporters club which had 1,500 members.
By my calculations this will be the Friends of Dundee FC Facebook Group which has no annual membership fee and a number of the people registered as members of the Friends of Dundee Football Club Facebook Group are also members of other Dundee FC supporters clubs affiliated to the DSA.

DSA has no members, it has affiliate clubs and club members become DSA affiliates through their clubs. As you rightly point out some of those clubs have very few members - some of them are based in foreign countries on the other side of the world and their members never see Dundee FC play except on Fire Stick. But because if John Nelms says 'jump' the DSA asks 'how high' they are his favoured supporters' organisation.

It was a very clever move to include the 'Friends Of Dundee FC' Facebook group as a club to artificially boost affiliate numbers - in fact too clever for the DSA board to have made it, it must have been John Nelms' idea.

Some questions answered from Nelmsy in courier today.

No too much detail but it's something

[Returnofrros]

Curious how are the questions that everyone's been asking for 6/7 years only hypothetical and sneered at for only being D4L questions......they ain't......and still not answered .....doubt they ever will be.

Nelmsy is an incredibly devisive cauld fish 🐟

Think the ultimate answer will be the building of the stadium. I'm not sure that even full planning permission being granted will actually solve anything. Still seems some fairly basic funding issues to be dealt with, but that's my personal worry. I am hoping that the team performances might be a very positive influence on the worth of our club. Building a bigger support and winning higher league places might generate significant revenues.

Five years ago it was reckoned that the whole of the new stadium development was to cost £20 million and now the new stadium alone is to cost £50 million. If full planning permission is granted the Crematorium at Campy Nou will be built without a Garden of Remembrance or a Memorial Garden.

I would expect that there is an alternative to a Garden of Remembrance/Memorial Garden. Car parking seems to be the biggest issue imo.

I was at a Dee4life board of directors meeting as non voting guest where the subject of the lack of a Garden of Remembrance or Memorial Garden in the plans for the new stadium development came up.
The answer given was that John Nelms had not asked for a Garden of Remembrance or Memorial Garden to be included in the plans.
It would be interesting to know where the ashes after funerals are going to be scattered. The new stadium pitch seems an ideal spot.

Ashes are given to the Funeral Director for onpass to the relatives to scatter as they see fit. Any that are unclaimed would currently be scattered in the garden of remembrance however in the absence of such a garden I'd imagine the crematorium management or Funeral Director would have an alternative. Bear in mind you really need permission to scatter ashes as they're human remains.

By the way have you seen the amount of ashes that are produced in a cremation? I scattered my brother's recently up in The Sidlaws and was amazed at how much there actually was. I didn't bother with permission.
