    £95,000,000 though? For a team with three and a half thousand season ticket holders? Funny mushroom season 🤣

    I would imagine that figure is being used by the Texans and their partners to put pressure on the council to approve.What i mean by that is the hotel,housing,pub and crematorium are probably all included in that.I don't think DFC would be paying rent on a 95 million pound stadium.If the council were to turn down planning Nelms would be in the press saying the council are turning down millions of investment in the city.

    If i was a member of the Dee Fan Group i would be asking lots of questions regarding how much rent will the club have to pay and can the owners use it willy nilly for concerts etc ruining the pitch in the process whenever they please?.That is why i am not jealous in the slightest at the prospect of DFC having a shiny new stadium to play in.The FACT is they don't own even one brick of the development and they never will.

    The nightmare scenario for us is if Ogren decides he wants to copy his American counterparts and decides we are also moving in and he sells Tannadice to get his money back.If this project fails that is the one and only reason i'd be happy.

    I have heard Ogren is over here so its about time he put the shared stadium or amalgamation rumour's to bed.I don't trust The Texans but then neither do i have much faith in our owner either.

    I don't think you are alone in not having faith in our owner. Letting Asghar throw about his money, we don't know his end game because of these actions.

    I don't think we have anything to worry about regarding amalgamation or ground sharing. Hearing the Brentford tie-up is getting pretty close.

    I can't actually see many people parking within the complex anyway. Folk will head for the surrounding streets and walk in, as they do just now and they'll find the best ways in and out.
    On Riverside first, i spoke to my man in the know and they say the plans dont affect the airport as i thought and went into his usual blah, blah, blah as to why it could but doesnt!

    On Congestion, yes its a part of life, but should it really be? Had to be around Glasgow around rush hour too often and dont see it as too bad. But for certain parts of the Kingsway, its clogging at weird times and Campy will just add to that. Should have by-passed the Kingsway years ago!

    For big weekend, there was a park n ride from Riverside so that mitigated some of the access issues.

    Any details on how we benefit from it?

    That's promising if true

    Also wish people would give Ogren a break, he made mistakes but we are in a much better situation than we would be without him taking over when they did and had some good seasons until the epic fail that was 22/23

    Hopefully now on the tough trajectory to stabilise and build, we have the potential with our fanbase to do well but it won't be easy, its a tough top flight we have came into imo

    The airport had to give the okay for the use of floodlighting, which they did some time ago.

    On congestion, we could look closer to home. McDiarmid. It has three routes in and out. One straight onto the a9. It copes fairly well. I'd even hazard a guess that more cars park within the official car park than will at Nou Campy.
