It always strikes me that they run the club for their plans or ambitions.....if that happens to coincide with the fans all good but if it dosent ...so be it.

This is a guy who employs a stadium manager who generally dislikes our support and has at best badly concealed contempt for those that don't sit in the posh seats.

I kinda get the feeling if the stadium comes off the club and in particular the fans will be looked upon as tennants and be treated as tennants.

I also get frustrated that many outside commentators and fans who don't go or rarely go continually harp on aboot it being a game changer......game changer for what I'm not sure......they never seem to specify.

To build a club you have to build a connection, you have to make supporters feel part of the club, wanted, welcome, the reason for their being a club..........some of the best at doing that over the years......( And they all had faults ), Marr, leishman, fleeting, fitz****face, Mercer, Ferguson, Lambie, the Deefiant group..and plenty others.....Nelms no so much.

I still go every fortnight and half a dozen away games a season but it's like I'm looking on rather than in amongst it these days.
I fail to understand why the management of Dundee Football Club have scrapped PATG. It gives me the impression that John Nelms is only interested in season ticket holders because they hand over their money before the start of every season and he has no interest in making it as easy as possible for non season ticket holders to attend home games at Dens Park.
The home stands are less than half full. At the Aberdeen home game on Saturday 28th September 2024 which was the first home game we had played for 4 weeks there were almost as many Aberdeen supporters in Dens Park as Dundee supporters.
John Nelms sitting the front row of the Directors Box should notice the decreasing number of people sitting in the Bobby Cox Stand at home games and as managing director of Dundee Football Club he should be asking all the supporters why this is happening.
Hospitality in my opinion is too expensive for the average supporter.
Nelms should be thinking up ways of increasing the number of people sitting in the home stands at Dens Park.
He should reinstate PATG in the Main Stand and Bobby Cox Stand with immediate effect.
