In my opinion using the centre stand for away fans is a non starter as this part is used for hospitality seating. Hospitality is a lucrative source of income for the club but sadly too expensive for the ordinary supporter especially when the VAT is added to the price.

Hospitality generally isn't for the 'ordinary fan' who wants to go to the pub with his mates, then on to the match then maybe back to the pub again after though. Neither is it for the ordinary fan who gets in his or on the bus, goes to the game then goes home again. It's a level above for those that want to make a day of the experience. But it's there and accessible for the ordinary fan as a special event e.g. for a birthday or anniversary celebration and in reality is not unaffordable for a huge number in these rare instances so definitely not too expensive for the ordinary fan.

For what it's worth (my opinion only) I think hospitality is over priced for what it is - even with VAT (which the club has no choice but to charge) added on. However I don't tend to eat three course dinners at midday and am not a big drinker so I limit it to one or two visits a season.

I know a long standing Dundee supporter who was intending to take his family to hospitality in Dens to celebrate his birthday. When he discovered the cost he told me that it was too expensive and instead he took his family to the Birkie (Birkhill Inn) to celebrate his birthday.
