I enclose details of the new Dee4life mission statement which is stated on the front page of their new website. https://dee4life.com/
Maybe want to represent the ones nearer to home first
1. They had an opportunity to represent the views of the supporters - failed
2. How can they 'grow the club's fan base' when they can't even represent existing fans properly?
3. How can they 'support the club's development' when the club just won't interact with them at any meaningful level?
This is the type of thing you hear from the typical business CEO who's so far from the coal face that they don't even know what the blue collar worker does or what they produce. Only thing that's missing from this list of sound bites is Japanese words.
I think the best way forward would be dee4life involving the dsa to create one bigger group to start demanding answers and regular dialogue.
Going to defend Dee4life. From past experience of our club owners since the Gellatly era things have not worked out as well as I might have hoped. Dee4life will be around after our current owners decide to move on. They are absolutely right to try to build up their membership and I hope they succeed.
There was supposed to be a Dee4life membership drive on Saturday 3rd September 2022 to coincide with the launch of the new Dee4life website.
This was delayed until Saturday 15th October 2022 and then it was delayed indefinitely.
I have asked on several occasions why the Dee4life membership drive has been delayed indefinitely by the current board of directors but no one can give me an answer.
Therefore I can only assume that the controlling group of Dee4life directors have delayed this membership drive to avoid upsetting John Nelms.
.
I am astounded that there has been no mention in the News section of the Dee4life website the results of the latest Dee4life membership survey.
Last Wednesday evening every Dee4life member received an email containing the results of the latest Dee4life members survey.
Four of the most asked questions have been given to Greg Fenton to investigate and answer.
In my opinion these questions should have been given to John Nelms and the Dundee FC Ltd board of directors.
One of the four most popular questions asked was;
Why are there pay at the gate turnstiles for Away supporters but not Dundee supporters.
It will be interesting to see what Greg Fenton’s answer is.
When I cleaned the seats in the Main Stand at the end of last July I asked Greg Fenton why there were no Pay at tne gate turnstiles for Dundee supporters in the Main Stand and Bobby Cox Stand.
Greg replied that there was no demand for them but if he discovered that there was he would look at it again.
I know that John Burke the SLO asked this question prior to the Arbroath game on 2nd January 2023 and Dee4life Director Kenny Valentine
asked Greg Fenton the same question when he had a meeting with Greg Fenton after he handed over the hot water bottles on Friday 13th January 2023.
Both John Burke and Kenny Valentine had no success getting Greg Fenton and his ‘boss’ John Nelms to change their mind so this question from the latest Dee4life members survey is likely to fall on deaf ears.
