    What annoys me really annoys me is he opens his puss once a year and his stock rises to lord sugar business acumen levels....and folk start discussing what design the new stadium they would like to have.....I just find it incredible.

    Maybe I'm the most cynical of cynics but a wee bit of evidence that FPS can pull this off would be good ( for those that want to move) .....I'm more worried about no plan b if it dosent......as what can go wrong with a provincial Scottish club with a core support of 5000 moving from its home and getting entwined in a 144 million project with no options if it goes tits up.

    Mystery builders, mystery backers and the mystery of why.
    Biggest mystery surrounds the development, or lack of development, of Dens - why not?

    I've had 'no parking available' thrown at me (not saying by whom) but we've had capacity crowds in recent seasons with no real issues on that front. Tannadice has a bigger capacity but seems to cope - partly by using parking space behind The Shankly.

    Then 'no space to develop lounges etc.' yet the space between SE and boundary over to The Coxy is huge - you could probably even plan a monorail station there if you were mad enough.

    Then 'oh, but we don't know what's buried under there so it might cost a lot of money to remove the soil'. I doubt it would cost the £40M that a new stadium is reported to be costing to shift some old mill slag.

    Of course the old chestnut of 'it's not a great location' - well it's 100 times better located for us fans to access than Camperdown Park is.

    'Ah, but Camperdown Park is right on The Kingsway and a new stadium there would be easy to access for from the A90' - well, that's true if they ever get permission to alter the road the way they want, if they even have a viable plan in place to alter the road thee way it would have to be altered (Islay?).

    The main problem with the site at Campy Nou is that it is ‘land locked’ with only one access/exit road from the site.
    I suppose the Directors of DBPH could apply to have trees chopped down to have a second access/exit road from the rear of the Campy Nou site through part of the former Camperdown Golf Course but no doubt Ms Maggie Chapman who was instrumental in stopping the original Regional Sports Centre at Caird Park because a few trees would be chopped down would also mumping and moaning about more trees being chopped down.
