News Blackout about latest Covid rules on Club website

[islaydarkblue]

I have just checked the Dundee Football Club website regarding Nicola Sturgeon’s latest rules limiting the number of spectators attending football matches to 500 and there is no mention about it. https://dundeefc.co.uk/
Dundee United have an article in the news section of their website headed
‘Club Statement:Latest Covid update. https://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/news/
You would have thought that John Nelms as Chief Executive of Dundee Football Club would have posted an article
about this latest ill thought out bombshell by Nicola Sturgeon especially as it affects Dundee supporters who are travelling to Aberdeen for the game at Pittodrie this Sunday.
John Nelms was absent from the Directors Box last Saturday so he might be on holiday in America but surely
he can arrange for a Club statement to be published on the Club website.

We ain’t travelling now, I don’t think anything John Nelms says would change that

It would be helpful if John Nelms kept the Dundee supporters regarding the club’s position and view regarding this unnecessary reduction in the number of supporters attending football matches in Scotland by Nippy and her sidekick Swinney.
Last night there was a post on the DBF showing a Twitter statement by Alan Burrows Chief Executive of Motherwell Football Club regarding their position and view regarding a maximum of 500 spectators allowed for the next three weeks from 26th December 2021.
Sadly nothing from Nelms.
Today there is a statement on the club website but as usual in my opinion this is too little too late.

Why is it too little, too late? What difference would it have made to me, you or any other Dundee fan if they'd made the statement immediately after the announcement?


None.

I suppose you have a point there. The Hobnobs will be indispensable to some.

Other SPFL Premier league clubs informed their supporters what their position was several hours after Nippy’s announcement but there was no information from our Chief Executive on what Dundee Football Club were thinking about it on the Dundee Football Club website or Twitter feed.

It is typical of everything currently happening at Dens Park.
The latest Dee Promotion weekly results from the draw on Friday 17th December 2021 have still not been published on the club website.
Alison McGuire posted last Friday’s Dee Promotion lottery results on Facebook and I happened to see them by accident.
It is in the club’s interest to have as many people signing up to play the Dee Promotions weekly lottery as the money raised is handed over to the club to defray the cost of Youth Football however the management at Dens Park do not appear interested. https://dundeefc.co.uk/news/
