    Amid all the denial and downright lies, a couple of Dees being honest.

    Head Shaker Dee said

    "find it strange that Dundee supporters refuse to accept that Utd have a bigger fanbase than us, they have had bigger attendances for decades now.

    The only way we are going to address this is by showing continued improvement through results, last season was a start but we never seem to be able to get any kind of consistency"

    Fair play

        There's a wee outbreak of realism over there.

            I have no idea if United actually give tickets to primary schools. But I very much hope they do.
            It is an effective long-term strategy for any club — get them young, and they'll keep coming back for the rest of their life.
            We all remember, every fan of every club remembers, the game that got them hooked on football. It happened to me in 1968.
            And we all pestered, pleaded, demanded to be taken to games until old enough to go on our own.
            If United are giving 200 for every game, raise it to 1,000. Raise it as high as possible, depending on amount of tickets sold. For games like Ross County at home, fill the JK with kids attending free. Give them flags to wave, give them scarves . . . give them each a drum!

              I like the sentiment and agree Steve…..

              Well apart from your last 5 words. Drums are a scourge on football and if they turn up at tannadice regularly then I won’t!

                Eh remember going to gemmes and getting a sneaky in or lifty ower.. Even remember going to Dens to watch them play AC Milan and getting a sneaky in. Dundee then put turnstiles from the roof to the ground stopping this in the early 70s. United didna. Met loads of boys who did this. They are still going to Tannadice. They’re bairns, grandbairns as well. Getting the young ains going up is the way to keep building your support.

                  Agree with getting kids in 100%

                  But please NO DRUMS - I got a terrible headache from that drum at Easter Road

                        Is that what that racket is? I thought it was someone headering a cardboard box. 🤯

                            Still deluding themselves

                            One of them brought up the derby in April 2022 as the reason they think we give wrong crowds, ironically that was one time we gave a very inaccurate crowd where it was given as as 10500ish, this was under the previous regime, was clearly 12500-13000 there with 10k arabs, same as the derby early the same season (the 1-0 harkes game) where they gave it as 12.5k ish

                            So yes that was inaccurate in that it underplayed the attendance, didn't help their argument

                            They also don't touch on respective away numbers, there are vastly different in our favour too, I suppose that's other teams conspiring to inflate our numbers etc

                              Same Muppet is still going on about the April 2022 derby, even the attendance was clearly 12500+ but as one of their reality based fans said, do Utd cut and paste fans into seats on TV etc and what about the much bigger away crowds?


                              Another very good crowd yesterday anyway

                              8,868 with 750 from Paisley


                              7 home games in and current average is 10,427

                              Rest of the teams currently
                              Killie 6,983
                              St Mirren 6,779
                              Funsters 6,323
                              M'Well 5,679
                              Saintees 5,542
                              County 4,181
