All I can say is never assume always check.

How you've managed to turn this into tirade a aimed at Dee4 Life is fantastic, if slightly baffling.

I am also furious that the current Dee4life board of directors will not tell their members the truth about them trying to get their primary representative elected onto the Dundee Football Club Limited board of directors under the entrenched rights of the A shares.
A majority of them seem to think that if they keep quiet and say nothing to upset John Nelms he will welcome them with open arms.
Last September Nelms turned down an offer from Dee4life to pay for the cost of installing an E ticketing scheme into Dens Park.
However yesterday there was a post on the Dark Blues Forum stating that last month the DSA paid for the cost of upgrading the tannoy system in the South Enclosure.
This proves that the Dee4life directors are persona non grata as far as John Nelms is concerned.

The obvious solution would have been to itemise how the 1,000 tickets for the Queens Park game would allocated to various groups on the Club website.
Dundee FC staff, players and sponsors. - 100 tickets.
DSA - 400 tickets
Season ticket holders- 500 tickets which will be on sale in the Ticket Office on Monday 1st May 2023 at 10am on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

You're preaching to the converted, I know better than most that John Nelms wants all the cash Dee4Life has AND the A shares or nothing at all; unless it suits him to take only some of course. I know for a fact that Dee4Life has bailed the club out of a financial hole on more than one occasion and was never really thanked for it. Dee4Life were however thanked for the purchase of the 'Oor Bobby' figure that should still be sitting in the club shop unless John Nelms has sold it on or taken it home.

I think the DSA contribution was a good few years ago.

But it wasn't, in fact no specification of the proposed distribution was stated so really they did nothing wrong apart from making a right rip roaring James Blunt of it in the end.

Upfront and honest and a procedure put in place for next time.......it's not too much to ask.

Looks like most DSA clubs cut by around 20% of tics requested.........now whether you are in the ......why do they get tics or why are they cut at all camp or even why that figure......was it to keep a round figure back for general sale? An explanation of how they were distributed would be guid.......no even an explanation......this is the figure we got this is how we allocated.

Again this looked like it cud have happened since Dec Jan.......and again QP totally to blame but since then I reckon DFC have been lacking.

Very sadly lacking in fact

We will never be informed as Linda will be holed up in his Gardyne bunker waiting for the criticism to die down.

I think this may not happen. It seems to me that his calculation is that everything will be all right if he delivers the stadium.
There are so many questions about how much it will cost the club to use the stadium? How much the additional revenue streams that were initially promised like 'funeral teas' will generate?
All these might not be a concern for him if the intention is simply to get back as much of the capital they have invested in Campy, and the long term aim is to withdraw from their ownership of DFC, but if you are a supporter then saying nothing is actually giving fuel to posts like this from me. I am a doubter and hope that I am wrong but at the moment I do not see how the numbers stack up.
Maybe a bit of jaw from our owners could help those of us who want the best outcome for DFC.

Meant to add that DSA seem to be best placed to ask questions and might actually get some answers.

As long as they're getting their little scraps from the John Nelms table they won't rock the boat.
