In my opinion the cost of purchasing a full Adult ticket for the Hearts and St Mirren home games should have been taken into consideration before the cost of a reduced price season ticket was announced.Quote:

Islay, are the DSA clubs not based on organising buses for the away games? Seems to me that a good away support is something that our club should support and try to encourage. On balance I think jdfc has made a reasonable case for the current system.Quote:

Up to last Saturday’s DSA AGM there were 32 DSA affiliated supporters clubs with a further 4 supporters clubs joining on the day.Quote:

Some of the large supporters clubs can take two buses to an away game.
I am a member of a DSA affiliated supporters club and I do not have a season ticket.
According to John Nelms the DSA has between 5,500 and 6,000 members but last season around 3,500 season tickets were sold which includes a lot of season ticket holders who are not members of a DSA affiliated supporters club.
It has previously been posted on Internet forums that there are about 1,000 members in total who are members of a DSA affiliated supporters club. The Friends of Dundee Football Club Facebook group which is a DSA affiliated supporters club has 4,000 members but unlike the other Dundee FC supporters club there is no annual membership fee for the Friends of Dundee Football Club Facebook group members.
He hasn’t a clue what it takes to run a supporters club running busses to every away game.Quote:

Maybe it shud be just those clubs that are running buses that should get preference.
Two tier Keir.
Two tier DSA
3 tier season ticket holder.
If you read my post carefully you would have seen that most of the DSA affiliated supporters clubs do not run buses to away games but the season ticket holders of all the DSA affiliated supporters clubs were given first priority to purchase a ticket for the away game against Dundee United at Tannadice.Quote:

Season ticket holders who are members of a DSA supporters club did not have to stand in a long queue for up to 4 hours which other season ticket holders had to do to purchase their ticket for the United game at Tannadice last month from the remaining available tickets after the DSA had first priority.
Members of DSA affiliated supporters clubs received priority for purchasing tickets for the Dundee Football Club 50th Anniversary Dinner celebration of winning the League Cup on 15th December 1973. Noahrab who appears to be a member of a DSA affiliated supporters club should know this.
The dinner was held on Friday 26th January 2024.
Members of DSA affiliated supporters clubs had priority for over two weeks to purchase tickets for this dinner before they went on sale to the general public on 15th December 2023.
Incidentally the 50th anniversary dinner should have been held on Friday 15th December 2023 but by the time the Club contacted the Invercarse Hotel only 26th January 2024 was available.
For the record the last time I attended a Dundee FC game at Tannadice Park was on 18th March 1972 when we defeated the Dabs to 2-0 in Forfarshire Cup final.Quote:
