Derby tickets

[Whitfieldarab]

Yeah I would pay £30 to watch utd against septic and rancid but that is maybe because my morgage is paid and my kids are away from home have a decent job and no money worries.Have no Idea how many tickets utd will sell against either cheek the bigotry puts a lot of obviously sunday early kick off's also put people off think both with sell their tickets 5,000 or so at £30 no problem though which will help our club.Would not class myself as a big bairn and not pished but not taking too much offence at the insults.Some people seem to think utd can build a successful team charging home and away fans £20.While other teams charge a lot more but I will not start going down the insult route will leave that to you.

The post I was referring to was an insult!!! That's why I asked if you were a big bairn or pi5hed?

Anyway I'll be at the Celtic game as I'm a season ticket holder but the 3 or 4 pay at the gate friends of mine that would gladly pay £24 to watch Coonty or Motherwell at 3pm on a Saturday will 100% not be attending it.

Wow, this escalated quickly.

Didn’t say the price for the Derby is right - £27-£28 max would be better with different prices between top and bottom tiers. Didn’t say I don’t understand why people aren’t going - if it’s too much and it’s unaffordable but would otherwise love to have gone, then family and other more important things take priority, of course they do. Didn’t say the Club aren’t getting out of touch a wee bit- in a previous post I highlighted several areas of concern culminating in this ticket debacle which is not exactly painting them in a good light currently and making them appear disenfranchised currently.

However, you only need to look back a few years to under the previous owner to see where we were and where we were going. Fan power helped no end in pressurising him out and given where we were to where we are now, you can hardly say the Club haven’t progressed generally under the Ogrens. BUT the big thing that helped the Club remain relevant was we stood up to the task, kept our attendances up, kept our pride and in no end, greatly assisted us getting back to where we should never have left. There was some right keech served up 2015-2019 and if we’d all chucked it and collectively failed to turn up, then quite simply we would not have had a Dundee United Football Club to support.

Currently are we where we want to be? No. Are we better than we were under Ray and Csaba? Big yes.

I watched some right scheite post Tommy McLean through to Sir Craig and not once did I go up expecting ‘ value for money’. I went up to support my team get results. Even though they were pretty far and few. When things got better and we won the Scottish Cup, I did look back on pride that we’d gone through some utter scheite but this was the pay off and I’m sure there were many who felt just like me.

You only have to look up the road to see how a so called ‘big Club’ can wither on the vine and deteriorate rapidly if fans just start to ‘chuck it’ because ‘it’s no good enough’. If you don’t keep supporting, how can it ever then improve?

So, rightly highlight the too high prices. If it’s too much and unaffordable quite rightly prioritise more important things. Complain to the Club. Engage with DUSF for instance and highlight concerns. But if you can perfectly afford it and are using ‘value for money’ or ‘‘product on the park’ as reasons for non attendance but are then perfectly happy to jump on the bandwagon when things get better, then sorry but that’s gloryhunting. Pure and simple.

First class post, spot on

Especially as someone who missed the glory years and followed from the start of the 90s, post Tommy McLean until Sir Craig, utterly terrible outwith maybe 2-3 could month periods, otherwise 8 years of torture watching dud defenders and keepers (why did we not sort the keeper and defence over so many years while splashing big wages elsewhere), watching bullock and stillie in particular was sole destroying, sir Craig come in and we pretty much go 8 years with decent teams and all much much better keepers than stillie (szamo, weaver, zaluska, pernis, rado)

Went off on a tangent but yea followed home and away the whole time, sole destroying but stuck with it and rewarded by enjoying every bit of our second best era ever 2007-2015 and seeing us lift the cup at Hampden for the second time

Yeah I would also rather be watching football at 3 on a saturday but that really is not utd's fault we have to watch matchs at stupid times for tv.Everyone has a choice of what they are prepared to put up with to support their team if it is sunday football that is putting ur pals of then fair enough or because match is on tv or an early kick off or because costs extra few quid it's everyones choice I have been going since mid 60's and probably will be till can't manage any more or can't afford.Lived in london for few years and paid to come up and see utd now and then lost job for going to gothenburgh so extra couple of quid to get in to see dundee match or celtic etc aint a big deal.

Not bad at all GB. Last bottom left section of GF (ET corner) has a few rows, but other wise it’s single seats dotted about the other sections. ET has about 20 single seats left and looking at the Shed I think the last two sections at the flanks will get opened up this week. Don’t think it’ll sell out but won’t be a kick ass off it by k.o. I would have thought.

Be lucky if there's 1500 tickets left. Single seats for us everywhere except for three blocks. Fun sold out other than the front rows.
