If the Shed ever fold, then I would lose virtually all my interest in football, which nowadays is largely confined to the Scottish scene. However, I would hate to see the city of Dundee without a top flight team, so in the eventuality of the Shed going to the wall, I would not like to see the Dehs going down a similar route.

Playing in tangerine socks? Goodness me. Have you seen the strip they are playing in this season? It matches their recent performances. The worst strip I've seen United play in during all my time Shedding, except perhaps that very brief 'pink' abomination of a couple of seasons ago, but that was their third strip. The current strip reminds me of used toilet paper.

With all that appears to be going on behind the scenes at both clubs, like yourself, I too wouldn't be surprised if some kind of merger may be attempted over the next few years.
Shedding 😆
