John Nelms should forget about his new stadium development vanity project at Campy Nou and spend substantial sums of money getting the Dens Park pitch drainage system problems sorted once and for all.
Goodness knows when this game is going to be played as we now have three postponed league games to be played before the split after the first week in April.
I agree about spending money on Dens. It is an embarrassment. I've watched the weather, both forecasts and data from the past few months, and as I have posted elsewhere take nothing away from the lack of investment and pathetic state of our pitch but we have been very unlucky that the worst weather spells have fallen on numerous occasions on the overnight before and run up to a game. Dundee United and St Johnstone who may well have better pitches than us have however not been subjected to nearly the same extent to bad weather so close to match day. Aberdeen cited difficulty in folk getting safely to their recent home game as the reason that their game was off but Pittodrie was not playable that day. Also St Johnstone played recentkly at home on a park in far worse conditions to that at Dens when the Aberdeen game was called off. That was down to two referees with differing opinions as to what is playable in a wet Scottish winter.

Your research is usually spot on but we have FOUR postponed games to fit in. Aberdeen home and away, Hearts away and St Johnstone home.
