Cash Turnstile in Dens Park

Think Dee4life are simply communicating the answers they got. Don't think they are greatly encouraged at all, but any residual niggles with the answers they have received are explained, they have given possible assistance, so issues remaining are still live and back in DFC's hands.


I think it is likely that "holding feet to the fire" will only become a possible strategy if the guys who actually support the club take action. I can't see Dee4life leading anything. I think their job is to bring to the attention of the DFC board issues that have been worrying fans. I hope they will keep raising issues, like the sound system for the SE, and keep raising it until it is fixed. Same goes for PATG and the problem of pigeon droppings.

It does seem that the strong and it seemed to me unanimous voices for confrontation raised at the AGM have been batted away by Nelms. Football has saved him, and will do so again imo, if we finish 10th or above this season.

I think dissenting voices emphasise the weakness of the Dee4life position.
Calls for resignations from the Dee4life board because of a failure to deliver on things like the DFC board representation seem to me to be based on an unrealistic assessment of their ability to deliver this.
If you say there are one or two negative voices why would Dee4life be concerned? Maybe I should just ignore these voices too?

Dee4life was in a far stronger position in May 2022 than they are now thanks to the failure of the current board of directors to send emails directly to John Nelms demanding answers.
Dee4Life used to publish a newsletter which consisted of eight pages and it had articles about all sorts of things to do with Dundee Football Club including a article about the queues outside the ticket office before games. That was before the Club purchased the former newspaper sellers booth to hand out pre ordered tickets before the Motherwell game and a handful of games last season.
I remember reading another article about the unkempt state of the Main Stand.
Now the Dee4life newsletters tell us nothing.
Are you aware that Dee4life have their own exclusive tie pin which were on sale at the last AGM at a cost of £3 each.
In my opinion these exclusive Dee4life tie pins should be advertised in each newsletter showing a photograph of one and details how to purchase them including the cost of postage and packing if applicable.
I know for a fact that there are plenty left in stock.

Tie pins? Seriously?

Nobody even wears a tie these days so why would they invest money into a stock of tie pins? Are they completely nuts?

It was not my suggestion as I was totally against it but a majority of Dee4life directors were favour despite not thinking things through.
You are correct that nobody wears a tie nowadays so purchasing a supply of exclusive Dee4life tie pins was in my opinion crazy but I was outvoted.
I told them that five years ago I won a Dundee FC tie pin in a quiz organised by Ally Donaldson at a Dundee FC Seniors Group meeting and it has lain unused in a drawer since then.
My point was that the exclusive Dee4life tie pins should be advertised for sale in the Dee4life monthly newsletter instead of eventually being written off in the accounts.
