Official Nelmsy Campus Countdown

[BCram]

At my first Dee4life board of directors meeting as a non voting guest in May 2018 the secretary announced that he had received a letter from John Nelms stating that he (Nelms) hoped that the Dee4life board of directors would give their blessing to Dundee Football Club moving from Dens Park to the new stadium at Camperdown as Dee4life could block this move under the entrenched rights of their A shares.
Almost 8 years ago John Nelms knew the powers that the A shares held which FPS had agreed to prior to them purchasing a majority shareholding in Dundee Football Club Limited in August 2013.

Seems to me the approach by John Nelms was well intentioned. Dee4life could decide not to try to have their A shares rights enforced.
The decision was not what he wanted, so there will have to be another way forward.
No stadium plan should mean an alternative strategy.
I think the A shares might be portrayed as a millstone round possible future plans. So perhaps they are not as useful as you think? I dont know if they are effective, but I worry that they might be, and somehow cause problems for our club.

If you had been present at the Dee4life SGM on Saturday 28th February 2026 you would have heard that Supporters Direct think that Dee4life are very fortunate to have all the entrenched rights they have in their A shares.Most Football clubs supporters groups in Scotland have few entrenched rights or none at all.
The Dundee United FC supporters have no entrenched rights which means that they cannot block Dundee United Football Club ground sharing at another football ground, merging with another football club or changing their team’s colours.
The Dundee United FC supporters can only vote with their feet.

She thoughts the dabs looked so cold in their white tops in a game against rangers in January, she put the idea forward that they feel warmer and thus run faster in a dayglo top, heard this from the manager at the times son

Should cast your mind back to the time the Cardiff City new owner changed their team colours from Blue to Red in June 2012.

I'm not sure Roma can read too well, cut him some slack.

didnt say you had it wrong, just posted your supporters/funter obsession with the club colours of the best club in Dundee.

Best club? Let's do a wee test on that one.

DABs second to be formed, DABs second to win League Cup, DABs second to win Scottish Cup, DABs Second to win league, DABs second to semi final of European Cup, DABs nowhere near the big team's highest attendances.

Dunee United - always second best to Dundee and always playing catch up.
