The owners have made up their mind the stadium projects success or failure is at best very loosely intertwined with DFC success or as I suspect they really think the football club is an annoying distraction .......mind their may be another football club quite willing to rent a shiny new stadium if it's built.

Dens is either in or as good as in American hands.......do people have the will/stomach/fight for a fighting fund?.....I'm no sure.

I want Dee for life to press press and press some more for answers that probably won't be forthcoming but Nelms is getting far too easy a ride. I think Dee 4 life is the best route for getting answers but it's an unenviable task.......but I think they should now be a complete pain in Nelms Texan ass.
I think that a ‘Fighting Fund’ or ‘Rainy Day Fund’ could be a success.
The 1893 Foundation raised £125,000 in its first year despite a lot of Dundee supporters including myself refusing to join it because we did not know what the money donated to the 1893 Foundation was earmarked to be spent on.
Other clubs like Ayr United and Aberdeen state that money raised through their respective AU 500 and AberDNA fundraising schemes will be used to increase the Manager’s football playing budget.
