Hospitality Prices

You?re surely not blaming the Americans for alienating our support?

Quick question.

If not Nelms, who do you think is alienating the support?

Because something's driven them to Firesticks. Could Premiership season ticket prices in a Championship season have been one factor? Could a CEO that treats them with total disdain be a factor?

I've never felt so isolated from the club in my 55 years plus of following it - no news, no information, no feel good factor, lies (IMO) about a new stadium, no progress on the field with one step forward and two back for a decade or more, a CEO who's on record as stating it doesn't matter which division we're playing in. It just doesn't scream that the club is mine or ours any more - it's his and he doesn't give a sh1t about it or us (IMO).

Apart from reading stuff on here, I don?t know anyone who?s been alienated by Nelms.

Agree that season tickets are too expensive, but that?s the same all over Scottish football.

He did say that the new stadium wasn?t dependent on what league were playing in, slightly different from your take.

I?ll believe the new stadium when I see it, but I can?t fathom why they would spend so much money, with no intention of going ahead. What IYO would they gain from that.

Our crowds have been **** for years, and long before the Americans came in.

We won the league cup in 73, and the week later we had approx 6,000 against Motherwell,

When Gellatly, Marr, Cook, Dixon, Dee4 life we?re running the club, it felt no different from now.

Steve Martin told me in the Penman Lounge several months after he had been forced to resign as a director of Dundee Football Club Limited that he had a meeting with Tim Keyes and Tim Keyes couldn?t understand why John (Nelms) wanted Steve Martin off the DFC Ltd board of directors.
At present Nelms needs Bob Hynd?s firm of architects for the plans for Community Trust complex and football pitches at Riverside.
Once this complex is built and in use I would not be surprised to see Bob Hynd resigning as a DFC Ltd director as Nelms no longer needs him.
Bob Hynd presented Cammy Kerr with a gift at his testimonial match with no sign of Nelms being there despite him being the managing director of Dundee Football Club Limited.

I totally agree with everything you have posted.
It will be interesting to see if any of Nelms?s spies are reading the posts on this topic.
