In addition the claim on the DFCSS website (as a at 10.20am CET today) that "The Society played a pivotal role in harnessing support to again save the Club from liquidation in season 2010/11. Having set a fundraising target of £250,000 the money raised by supporters exceeded this figure, as a result, the Club survived and the Society took control of a majority shareholding" is at best misleading and in my opinion simply false. I'll be clear once again as I've said it publicly before, DFCSS did not save the Club in Admin 2 - the 3 major players in that were Brian Jackson, the Colvins and Bob Barclay. There were others of course but these 3 players were the most significant.
Thanks hmac. As a member of DFCSS I'm not sure what to do with the news that the society is in discussion with the club about the safeguarded rights that the society has via ownership of their A shares. There's plenty of discussion about this development on TDB or Pravda as it is known more commonly here. Just wondered if there were any views from those who post on here. The society wants to consult, and fans forums are ideal for this purpose.

The main areas were not being able to move from Dens Park, not being able to amalgamate and appoint 2 directors, not being able to borrow more than £50k, not change the name or the club colours.
