Admiration also for folk offering their hard earned cash, time and effort at the likes of Hearts, Falkirk and Motherwell where there also appears to be much happening on and off the park.
The game in Scotland is set up these days to make the countries biggest clubs stronger, the rest have to find ways and means of innovating and maximising opportunties. The three teams at the bottom of the league are probably the same three clubs that are lagging behind the rest on that front too. It’s all eggs in one basket at Dundee with the promise of a state of the art stadium that Dundee can afford to rent. Season ticket holders are staying away in number greater than ever before and if that trend continues long term they will be wasting their time continuing to talk about it. The increasing number of away fans attending Dens and the continued loyalty of people still renewing season tickets doesn’t make the average attendances look too bad but worse case scenario and both these sources of income could be on borrowed time.
If there’s no significant movement in the months ahead regarding the stadium, the team get relegated and the board continue with the heads down in the bunker approach they are heading for trouble. I really do wonder if anyone within the inner reaches of The Club, the Supporters Association or the Football Trust can see that and has the courage to raise the issue before it’s too late.
Dundee fans have gone from feeling Deefiant to utterly Deeflated, apathy is rife, people genuinely want to be part of something they feel proud of, they long to have a sense of belonging, an association within their community that they enjoy.
Well done to The Buddies you’ve delivered, good luck to The Dee.
