For all the rumours that have been rife over the last wee while, this is the one that made it to print? Never heard of any issues with names being dropped from whatever hospitality lounge that exist at Tannadice, and fully expect that the names will be changed on a regular basis as time rolls by. Quite frankly its the least of our problems just now and deflecting from the real issues that are for all to see on the park.

As important as the Robertsons contribution in our history is, im sure this has its place in the recording of our history, and while the removal of the name was undertaken by the previous regime, its the current owners baw, and i fully expect them to do what they want with their baw. From what was said yesterday, its not the rumour of name changing in the lounges that has cut hospitality attendance, its whats provided in the packages!
Disagree with all of this too to be honest too. But that’s what the boards for. To voice your opinion without taking it personally.

Without Ernest Robertson contribution to out club I think it’s safe to say we as a club may well not be here. There are very few personnel at any club who can or shld be remembered due to the contribution that they have made to ensure either success or survival. The memory of Ernest Robertson is clearly under written in our clubs history and for me should not be forgot or removed. However that’s not what I was trying to convey.

What I was trying to highlight was the fact that some take rumours at face value without either hearing or basing it on any fact. The article is by the by but the clubs response in my opinion illustrates the importants of hearing both sides before making an opinion The initial article opened the doors for more criticism of the current board. The point of this thread was to shown how easily things can be misconstrued or interpreted. I’m not for one minute trying to say that everything reported is rubbish but merely attempting to underline the issues and dangers of unfounded rumours which can easily spread unwarranted negativity.
