    I'd assume the houses would be seperate from any stadium and be mostly social.

    On a seperate note the houses around Rugby Park are still kept fairly nice butcant think of many other grounds in scotland that has decent housing around the ground....maybe Ayr.

    Crem in dundee is a bit of a dump, they cud do with competition.

    The Catholic burial thing is a wee bit old school, I've no intention of taking up a real prime piece of estate....ashes to ashes.
    A year past May I was at a display in Downfield Golf Club of the proposed new housing development on the site of their former par 3 nine hole golf course.
    Springfield Homes are planning to build houses on the site. I asked their representative why there were no social houses being built on the site as local authorities normally insist that 20% of a new housing development is at an affordable price.
    Their representative told me that Dundee City Council do not have this stipulation.
    Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited will not receive much for that part of Campy Nou is social housing is being built on it.
    I do not know the last time you were at a funeral in the Crem at Macalpine Road as two years ago £400,000 was spent doing it up.
    You obviously do not read the death notices on the Dct my announcements website.
    I suggest that you take a look at it. You can look back for several years where it states where the funeral service and burial if applicable is taking place.

    If you live on Islay, and do not intend moving to Dundee soon and buying a property there, why would you bother attending that display and asking the question? It doesn't concern you. Seems an odd thing to do.

    Why would anyone go on any DCT site? And why would anyone want to rake through death notices to establish the numbers using the crematorium. Again, odd.

    I was a member of Downfield Golf Club for 39 years and I still take an interest in what is happening at my former golf club.
    Last May I was at the funeral at the Crem of a Downfield GC member who was a very good friend of my father.
    At the wake several Downfield members told me about the new housing development on the site of
    the former par 3 golf course and that the plans were on display in the clubhouse for members of the public to view.
    After the wake my wife and I took a trip up to the golf club to see the plans.
    I look at the DCT my announcements site to see if I recognise anyone who has died.
    It saves embarrassment at a later date.

    Thanks for the polite and clear response.

    I now see why you would take an interest in the development.

    I personally haven't read a DCT publication or website for many, many years with one exception. My dog went missing in Glen Clova and was away for five days (four nights), it was all over social media and there were several groups of people out every day looking for him. The Courier phoned me for an interview when he finally turned up and sent a photographer round to the house. I asked someone to go into the local newsagent tom get me a copy of The Courier so that I could read it. I wasn't buying that rag myself although I did reimburse the cost.

    As a former dog owner I am pleased to hear that your dog eventually turned up safe and sound. It must have been a very worrying time for you.
    Sadly we have no dog at present.
    We have had three West Highland White dogs.
    The first one was almost 16 and a half years old when he was put to sleep suffering from old age. He lived in Dundee.
    The second one was ten years old when he was put to sleep suffering from Lymphoma (Cancer). He lived on Islay.
    The third dog was eleven years old when she was put to sleep also suffering from Lymphoma (Cancer). She also lived on Islay.
    Our third dog was called Poppy and she also suffered from Type 1 diabetes but that was not what killed her. Her eyesight began to fail and after 2nd May 2016 when where out for a walk and we reached the edge of the kerb I used to say to Poppy ‘down, down just like Dundee United down, down’!!
    My wife and I are keen to get another West Highland White dog but it will not be until we move back to live in Dundee.

    Gave them an interview and posed for pictures.

    Wont buy that rag.

    Gave someone else the money to go and buy it for me so I could read it.

    A principled man.
