Thoughts of a part time supporter

[scottg]

Note sent to D4L BOD

I used live and breathe Dundee FC, stayed away for a couple of seasons though kept up my D4L, Dee Promotions and Supporters Club subs.

Returned to Dens albeit on a part time basis this season in an attempt to try and rekindle my interest, hoping to renew my season ticket next season. Having done so I started to engage occasionally in online chat with fellow Dark Blues via Facebook, MAD and TDBF.

I’ve formed a view that I’m wasting my time doing so, like many others the state of the Club, Team and various other associated bodies really does sadden me. I took some heart from what I heard from the recent D4L AGM however since then the subsequent silence has somewhat disappointed though not surprised me.

Having engaged with several like minded people over the last few months I have no doubt that there are people out there who would be willing to offer and provide fans groups with support if the effort was made to identify, encourage and contact them.

I do look forward to hearing more from both D4L and the DSA in the months ahead but for now I’m going to return to ‘read only’ mode.

Wishing all of you all the very best for the festive season.

Of what possible value is that note? Do you think the Dee4Life board will care?

I think things are turning the enlightened folks way.....too slowly for me but moving.

The new stadium hangs over supporters heads like the sword of Domiciles, freezes those who have some power to move the dial.

Motherwell st m and Falkirk don't play in super duper stadiums but somehow seem to manage.

Put a hundred dees in a room you wouldn't get two agreeing on the way forward BUT more and more are seeing it's not the Nelms way.....

If I?d covered all the costs for 10 or so years I wouldn?t pander to fans either. Put yourself in their position and tell me you would.

Keyes could have been covering a lot less costs if he had instructed his representative in Dundee Football Club and managing director director John Nelms to communicate with all Dundee FC supporters and not a very select group of supporters providing they do not ask awkward questions.

Last night I sent an email to the secretary of Dee4life asking when the full minutes of the AGM and particularly the Q and A section of the meeting held on Saturday 29th November 2025.
I am very concerned that a truncated version of the minutes of the Q and A section of the AGM will be published.

In my opinion Tim Keyes should remove Nelms as Managing Director of Dundee Football Club Limited with immediate effect and put Nelms in charge of his new stadium development in the former NCR Camperdown playing fields.
Nelms should be immediately replaced for the remainder of this season by the Assistant Secretary of Dundee Football Club who was previously General Manager of Stirling Albion FC.

And you know for a fact that 'the Assistant Secretary of Dundee Football Club who was previously General Manager of Stirling Albion FC' would want the job I assume?

I do not know why we need an Assistant Secretary of Dundee Football Club when we already have Eric Drysdale who is the Secretary of Dundee Football Club.
If the Assistant Secretary of Dundee Football Club did not want the acting Chief Executive’s job then the General Manager of Dundee Football Club would have to carry out the Chief Executive’s job on a temporary basis until the Chief Executive’s job could be advertised, candidates interviewed and the person appointed Chief Executive takes over the role.

So much absolute nonsense crammed into one post.

Why not.
There is no point employing all these members of managerial staff on fancy salaries if they are not prepared to help out in a crisis. I do not understand why Dundee Football Club needs an assistant secretary when it has a secretary and a general manager when Nelms is running the club.
It seems a waste of money which could be better spent increasing the playing budget for the manager.
