It never happened and I never understood why.
I heard that it was going to cost too much resulting in cut backs which made it too small to share with DFC.
Originally it the Caird Park complex was to be built and shared between ourselves and United but that fell through.
Dundee City Council was previously in the running for the new Scottish Government sports complex next to the Liff Road entrance in Camperdown Park which ‘surprise surprise’ they decided to build at Riccarton on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
