Then 'no space to develop lounges etc.' yet the space between SE and boundary over to The Coxy is huge - you could probably even plan a monorail station there if you were mad enough.
Then 'oh, but we don't know what's buried under there so it might cost a lot of money to remove the soil'. I doubt it would cost the £40M that a new stadium is reported to be costing to shift some old mill slag.
Of course the old chestnut of 'it's not a great location' - well it's 100 times better located for us fans to access than Camperdown Park is.
'Ah, but Camperdown Park is right on The Kingsway and a new stadium there would be easy to access for from the A90' - well, that's true if they ever get permission to alter the road the way they want, if they even have a viable plan in place to alter the road thee way it would have to be altered (Islay?).
