DFCSS Fans Rep Update

[Deeranged]

I agree but he may have had previous experience with ACCAS.
I still think that the best way for Dee4life to try to get new members is to explain that Dee4life speaks for all Dundee FC supporters whilst the DSA Committee are only interested in looking after their affiliated Dundee FC supporters clubs and no one else.

But DSA claim X number members because they claim the members of their affiliated clubs as members of DSA despite the vast majority of those individuals having next to no interest in the DSA and, let's be honest, the vast majority of them having no interest in their clubs except when it's time for the ticket con.

John Nelms buys into all of the DSA lies unfortunately.

John Nelms buys into all of the DSA lies unfortunately.

John Nelms has stated that the DSA have about 6,000 members which is more people than attend most home games at Dens Park.
Nelms must be including all the members of the Friends of Dundee FC Facebook group who do not pay a membership fee when they become a member. There are a number of members of the Friends of Dundee FC Facebook group who are also a member of a DSA affiliated supporters club.
Several new Dundee FC Supporters clubs were admitted to become DSA affiliated supporters club at the DSA AGM on 31st August 2024.
I do not know the exact number of DSA affiliated supporters clubs but I think that it is around 36 with some having a handful of paid up members up to the ?big? supporters clubs having about 150 paid up members.

I'd estimate that well over 50% of the fans attending home games have no affiliation to DSA. Of those that do have that affiliation I'd estimate that less than 25% will have any interest in the machinations of DSA. The vast, vast majority of members of Supporters' Clubs just won't care that membership of that club includes a levy to DSA to maintain the club's affiliation.

6,000 is a fantasy land 'membership' number to quote and I find it absolutely ridiculous, verging on gullible, that JN gives any credence to this number. Reality is that the DSA has 36 (if that number's correct) member club not 6,000 'members'. On top of the Facebook thing there will also be people who are members of multiple DSA affiliated clubs so some could be counted three or more times in the La La Land 6,000.

Dundee FC has around 4,000 season ticket holders most of whom can't get tickets for big games, the Queens Park game for example, because non season ticket holding DSA affiliates who attend twice a season are before them in the queue - scandalous. The club's focus as regards its customers is miles off.
