I said that in a previous post, meant to be playing out of Perth next season

If that's true, and I'm not saying it isn't, then it's the beginning of the end for the club I reckon. They don't even have planning permission in for this pie in the sky stadium so next season playing in an out of town ground wouldn't be the last. At least three years from now if it was to go ahead - at least.

The fans are drifting away as it is, how many are going to make the journey to Perth to watch the garbage we're being served up on the park? I know you and I would but realistically how many others would? People are already saying on another forum that they're looking at the team selection before going to Dens, those types of people will be lost forever.

According to the laid down rules for Planning Permission in Principle once that has been agreed the person(s) has up to three years to apply for full planning permission. I obtained this information from the West Lothian Council website as I could not find any information about it on the Dundee City Council website.
John Nelms told us back in May 2022 that he had Planning Permission in Principle for Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited new stadium development at the former NCR Camperdown grounds which now does not appear to have been the case at that time.

I fully agree with you.
If we stop playing our home games at Dens Park I will never attend another Dundee FC game.
I was an armchair supporter for 28 years and it would not be difficult for me to become an armchair Dundee FC supporter once again.
Dundee FC supporters are leaving in their droves and playing home games at McDiarmid Park instead of Dens Park with no planning permission applied for the new stadium development at Campy Nou will be the final nail in the coffin for Dundee Football Club as an SPFL club.

Surely the current owners will simply have to foot any losses? They aren't going to build a stadium if they don't have a team to play in it? Or am I missing something?

It could be a hidden agenda to force us to ground share at Tannadice as a cheaper alternative to trailing up to McDiarmid Park for our home games and then force us to merge with United.

Correct, at least as far as sharing with them goes but not certain about merger, however it's really not very well hidden.
