    The vast, vast majority of people I've spoken to about the sculpture believe it was a good use of society cash.

    Strange I've spoken to loads of people who all think It was a complete and utter waste of cash.

    It sits in club shop behind a load of cardboard boxes Last time I was in. Although I suppose It cant do much more than sit there.

    Club wanted it, I was asked to get it, I got it - my part in all this is finished.

    Don't disagree with that it was your suggestion that most fans thought it was money well spent that I disagree with.

    Obviously we speak to different people.

    Deeranged, do you know how much cash dfcss has. I can't find my copy of their accounts and it would be interesting to know if dfcss could underwrite a reduction in entry charges, as Rros has suggested.

    Ssssh its a secret. (joke afore the dfcss mafia go nuts)

    Doesn't have to be dfcss but they were first that sprung to mind.

    Dsa, mcewan and Fraser, dfc minded speculator.

    I think in the right circumstances and tic game a good example it wud cost nobody nothing and help more fans get into the match.

    Thinking a bit further forward as I know deeranged doesn't like the concept of tic getting a share but cud it work with season ticket sales.

    Club pitch them at £300 or so but need to get x amount bought, somebody underwrites the balance.

    Penny has dropped! Killie give Celtic a lot of their ground to make maximum revenue. Remember some time ago we gave the OF the SE and the Shankly, it must have made money but it lost quite a bit of our support. Killie had a very poor home support for their recent game against Celtic.

    Ideas to get more home supporters to turn up at Dens must be the way forward, and some kind of sponsorship for attendance at specific games might be the way forward. Hope you get more support for this.
