Asking the questions that Cran, D4L, DSA and SLOs should be asking.
I do not get the Courier.
What questions are Jim Spence asking.
On Monday 15th March 2026 which was the day after the home game against the Dabs I sent an email to Adam Legzdins the General Manager of Dundee Football Club highlighting the problems three Middlesbrough FC supporters sitting next to me in the Main Stand had getting tickets for the home game against the Dabs.
The same three Middlesbrough FC supporters had no problems purchasing tickets online from the Dunfermline FC website for the Dunfermline v Raith Rovers game the previous day sitting in the home end of the ground behind the goal.
I have never received a reply from Adam Legzdins.
At the end of last week I forwarded my email to the SLOs for them to act but I have not received a reply from the SLOs which gives me the impression that the honeymoon period for the SLOs raising concerns with the management of Dundee Football Club is over.
You are obviously not aware of the problems for a person wanting to purchase a ticket for a home game against Dundee United, Rangers and Celtic who has not previously purchased a ticket for a Dundee FC home game since July 2024.
Only people who have previously purchased a ticket for a Dundee FC home game since the beginning of the 2024-25 season can purchase a ticket for the home game against Dundee United on Sunday 15th March 2026.
I enclose details for the sale of tickets for the home game against Dundee United FC on Sunday 15th March 2026 from the Dundee FC website and you should pay particular attention to the second paragraph. https://dundeefc.co.uk/news/derbytickets-mar26/
The Middlesbrough FC supporters had to write a letter to Dundee Football Club asking to purchase three tickets for the game and they only received a reply from the club shortly before the United game advising them that they were able to purchase tickets for the game.
As a result of these problems the Middlesbrough supporters stayed two nights in Dunfermline despite their preferred option to stay their two nights in Dundee which had more going on in the evenings.
I do not understand why the management of Dundee Football Club make it as difficult as possible for football supporters of other clubs wanting to have a ‘one off’ visit to attend a Dundee FC v Dundee United FC football match.
The grandfather of the three Middlesbrough football supporters told me that they had previously attended an Inverness Caledonian Thistle (ICT) home game and they purchased hospitality for the game.
He told me that the ICT home game was the coldest football match he had ever attended.
I replied that Inverness is a cold place in the winter months.
Of I know of the problems getting a ticket for a big match if you haven’t already bought one before, I think it was on the pie n bovril site some people coming up from england and wanting to see the game, it was suggested that someone with a season tickets could get their tickets, I think this is probably how they got their tickets and good for them getting into see this match
I think that it is wrong a season ticket holder having to purchase tickets for people from England they do not know. What happens if these people from England cause trouble at game. Does the season ticket holder who purchased the tickets on their behalf face any consequences such as not being able to renew his season ticket for the next season.
In my opinion the simple solution for people coming from England and overseas wanting to attend the Dundee v Dundee United match is for the management of Dundee Football Club to keep a maximum number of say 20 seats available in the Main Stand for people from England and overseas to purchase a ticket for the Dundee v Dundee United game on a trial basis to see if it is a success.
Tickets have to be purchased directly from the management of Dundee Football Club which is what the Middlesbrough FC supporters had to do.
There were empty seats in the Main Stand and Bobby Cox Stand at the Dundee v Dundee United match on 15th March 2026.
The management of Dundee Football Club cannot afford to turn away income from ticket sales at home matches against Dundee United especially with the Club losing ?1.8 million in their latest annual accounts which appears to include the income received from transfer fees received for Luke McCowan, the two young players transferred to Wolves and Nottingham Forest respectively and the development fee received for Max Anderson from Crawley Town.
