Think supporters clubs are a great idea. DSA as an umbrella organisation also seems to me to be worthwhile.

Dee4Life was previously the umbrella organisation until the DSA wanted to leave and go it alone.
People need to remember that you have be a member of a Dundee supporters club to become part of the DSA whilst any Dundee supporter can join Dee4life.

SPFL matches were played on grass football pitches in Glasgow and Edinburgh last Saturday yet the SPFL game at Dens Park on the same day was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.
The photograph of Dens Park taken during the 2020-21 season shows yet another SPFL game cancelled because Dens Park was waterlogged.
Now nearly three years later another SPFL match has been cancelled at 9.30am because the Dens Park pitch is again waterlogged.
Please explain why you do not think that there is a still problem with the Dens Park nearly three years after this photograph was taken.
I am also curious to know why a photograph of the Dens Park pitch was not taken immediately after the game was called off at 9.30am last Saturday morning unless the pitch was in a worse state than the photograph on the Club website.

You didn’t read the question so I’ll give you another chance.

Tell me why that picture PROVES nothing has been done to the drainage on the pitch?

Again, read it carefully.

Don't know why I bother trying to keep people engaged on this forum. We're seeing exactly why it died the slow and painful death it did.

At least I'm adult enough to avoid the personal attacks. But then I'd never throw a personal attack at, or make up lies about, an individual I've never met and / or know absolutely nothing about. However if that's what floats some people's boats then I'm happy enough to pity that person rather than try to reason with them.

I don't know enough about the individuals on this forum to place any of them within Maslow's Heirarchy Of Needs but I suspect that anyone who feels the need to throw insults blindly at a total stranger on an internet forum is low enough in maturity and self esteem to not quite reach the Esteem level so possibly lacks, or needs to develop, something psychologically.

Instead of posters on here picking fights with each other we should be far more concerned about the state of the Dens Park pitch every time there are a couple of heavy showers or a spell of rain.
Last season a SPFL Trust home game against Dunfermline was cancelled about an hour before kick off as a result of a couple of hours of heavy rain. Another game went ahead despite parts of the pitch looking very wet and the first home league game of this season against Motherwell was almost cancelled because of a waterlogged pitch despite a brand new playing surface having been relaid after the end of the 2022-23 Championship season.
During the Motherwell game the Dundee FC ground staff were out with wooden rakes trying to push large puddles of water off the pitch at the Bob Shankly Stand end of the pitch during the game.
Needless to say there were no comments after the game by Linda or his General Manager about this.

Was wondering if Dee4Life could ask direct questions about the external situation where the drains connect to the public sewers? Minority ahareholder might be a reasonable justification for getting involved?

I think it's very convenient if DFC attempt to blame the council.

If the problems on DFC land it's a DFC problem.

A bit of an urban myth seems to have built up over the years about Dens Rd drains.

Our pitch has hampered us over the last few years and looks like doing so again.

Is the lake at the back of the Cox a council problem as well?

We have 4 home games in 25 days in November and 3 in 11 in December.

Hopefully a frosty la ate Autumn and early winter rather than a wet one or we cud have a few postponements.

Not sure why you quoted me then made that comment because all I'm doing is defending myself against an internet bully.
