In January 2023 there have been two meetings between Kenny Valentine who is an external director of Dee4life and Greg Fenton.
At the first one Kenny Valentine on behalf of Dee4life handed over 168 hot water bottles to the Dundee FC Community Trust and at the second meeting he was advised by Greg Fenton that Dundee Football Club would be playing their home games at Dens Park next season.
In my opinion Dee4life despite being the largest shareholder after FPS and representing all the Dundee supporters are receiving ‘scraps’ from John Nelms who in the meantime is happy to answer questions from the Chairman of the DSA and the SLO.
You should be asking yourself why John Nelms did not invite a Dee4life director to attend the recent meeting he held with the Chairman of the DSA and the SLO.
If Scottg had not set up this topic nobody would have known what was discussed at this meeting with Nelms apart from the DSA secretaries who were informed the details of the meeting their Chairman and the SLO had with Nelms when attended their recent meeting before the Queens Park match.
The DSA were not invited to any of those Dee4Life meetings and nor did they need to be so why should Dee4Life be invited to DSA meetings with the club?
It was two DSA committee members who went to the meeting with Nelms - one of whom happens to be the SLO. He wasn't invited as SLO and the details of this meeting was shared with DSA secretaries, emailed to DSA clubs and was placed on DSA media so nonsense to say no one would have known about it if Scottg hadn't posted about it. Scottg himelf said he received this from his supporters club secretary.
Again you haven't said why you think John Nelms is reluctant to meet with Dee4Life - I've asked you a number of times. YOu should answer you own question as tio why John Nelms did not invite Dee4Lfe to a meeting (BTW DSA asked to meet him, not the other way about)
It is not up to the DSA to try and mediate and facilitate this although they have tried by offering to set up a meeting last year which Dee4Life chairman turned down. You would know this Islay if you were on the Dee4Life board
