The Caird Hall could be used which would take a lot more people than the Invercarse Hotel ballroom.
It was used in 2012 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of winning the League championship with outside caterers employed for the meal.

Same when they were gonna do the 12.30 kick offs in winter....stupid.

If they intend to do this it should have been communicated to supporters before they bought a season tic then supporters cuda made an informed decision.

I buy mine based on the majority of kick offs will be at 3pm on a Saturday.

Lunch time dosent really suits and evening kick off dosent really appeal.....not on a regular basis.

And can we assume that the income from streaming would top trump the extra use of floodlights?

When everybody watches illegally anyway I doubt it would generate much......nae expert though

I agree with everything you say.
5.30pm kickoffs on a Saturday will certainly encourage supporters to purchase fire sticks with the rest being driven away by the 5.30pm kickoffs especially on cold winter evenings,
I think that it was the former Celtic Football Club Chairman Sir Robert Kelly who said that Football matches were nothing without supporters.

It is not right.
Everyone who purchases a season ticket from Dundee Football Club should receive the priority whether they are a member of a DSA affiliated supporters club or not.
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.

My point stands then.

You have no idea what it takes to run busses to every away game.

We charge members £15 adult £10 U18’s,

Our memberships and bus sweepies go towards sponsoring youth and first team players as well as buying Dee Lotteries.

Surely we can’t be begrudged priority tickets.

I can trump that.

I had the misfortune of being sat beside him at a DSA dinner. Its a case of ‘enough of me talking about me, lets hear you talk about me’.

How does a firestick work to show live matches. I have an Amazon Prime one. Is that capable of showing games live?

You do not need priority tickets for an away game at Tannadice Park.

Surely there is nothing to prevent your supporters club charging a higher price for non members to travel on your supporters bus if you have spare seats.
It appears to happen at other Dundee FC supporters clubs as I have seen people posting on Facebook asking if any supporters clubs who have a bus going to an Away game have any spare seats on their bus. These people are likely to be willing to pay a higher price than a member for a seat on a supporters bus.
I am surprised that the DSA do not organise all the supporters buses for Away games for Dundee based supporters clubs which all depart from Dens Park before the game and return back to Dens Park after the end of the game.

I remember a hefty chap sitting next to me at a DSA Player of the Year dinner.

If people going to hospitality who are not a season ticket holder nor member of a club can get one, why shouldn’t a supporters club get them?
