Asking the questions that Cran, D4L, DSA and SLOs should be asking.

I do not get the Courier.
What questions are Jim Spence asking.
On Monday 15th March 2026 which was the day after the home game against the Dabs I sent an email to Adam Legzdins the General Manager of Dundee Football Club highlighting the problems three Middlesbrough FC supporters sitting next to me in the Main Stand had getting tickets for the home game against the Dabs.
The same three Middlesbrough FC supporters had no problems purchasing tickets online from the Dunfermline FC website for the Dunfermline v Raith Rovers game the previous day sitting in the home end of the ground behind the goal.
I have never received a reply from Adam Legzdins.
At the end of last week I forwarded my email to the SLOs for them to act but I have not received a reply from the SLOs which gives me the impression that the honeymoon period for the SLOs raising concerns with the management of Dundee Football Club is over.

They probably wonder what your point is, if Boro fans want to see the dees on a visit, I don?t see the problem

You are obviously not aware of the problems for a person wanting to purchase a ticket for a home game against Dundee United, Rangers and Celtic who has not previously purchased a ticket for a Dundee FC home game since July 2024.
Only people who have previously purchased a ticket for a Dundee FC home game since the beginning of the 2024-25 season can purchase a ticket for the home game against Dundee United on Sunday 15th March 2026.
I enclose details for the sale of tickets for the home game against Dundee United FC on Sunday 15th March 2026 from the Dundee FC website and you should pay particular attention to the second paragraph. https://dundeefc.co.uk/news/derbytickets-mar26/
The Middlesbrough FC supporters had to write a letter to Dundee Football Club asking to purchase three tickets for the game and they only received a reply from the club shortly before the United game advising them that they were able to purchase tickets for the game.
As a result of these problems the Middlesbrough supporters stayed two nights in Dunfermline despite their preferred option to stay their two nights in Dundee which had more going on in the evenings.
I do not understand why the management of Dundee Football Club make it as difficult as possible for football supporters of other clubs wanting to have a ‘one off’ visit to attend a Dundee FC v Dundee United FC football match.
The grandfather of the three Middlesbrough football supporters told me that they had previously attended an Inverness Caledonian Thistle (ICT) home game and they purchased hospitality for the game.
He told me that the ICT home game was the coldest football match he had ever attended.
I replied that Inverness is a cold place in the winter months.

You are well aware of the reason for it being hard for those not on Dundee fc system getting tickets, but you choose to ignore the reason to have a pop at the club because your banned from Gardyne, and quite rightly,

It should not be difficult for the management of Dundee Football Club to set aside a number of seats in the Main Stand for supporters of other clubs who have arranged a holiday to attend the Fife Derby and Dundee derby during the same weekend especially when there are a number of empty seats in the Main Stand just as there were in the Bobby Cox Stand.
Other football clubs such as Everton have a tie up with a hotel in the centre of Liverpool selling a weekend package holiday which includes a ticket for an Everton FC home league game.
Sitting behind me in the Main Stand at the home game against the Dabs on Sunday 15th March 2026 were four German football fans who had flown from Germany to Edinburgh and they were staying at a hotel in Edinburgh.
They told me that they had been at the Sunderland v Brighton game the previous day travelling to Sunderland by train and they took the train from Edinburgh to Dundee for the Dundee derby.
I asked them how they managed to get tickets for this match as it is very difficult for non Dundee FC supporters to purchase a ticket for a home game against Dundee United.
They told me that someone had got the tickets for them.
Incidentally each of these German football fans had purchased a brand new Dundee FC scarf from the Dundee Direct shop which they were wearing at the game.
I told them that wearing these scarves resulted in them now being Dees for Life.

I still have the letter from Nelms stating a pack of lies about the visit I had to Gardyne accompanied by my wife.
It would be easy to forward this letter to Tim Keyes as a I have his email address.
The thing that prevents me doing so is that I will get the blame if Tim Keyes decides to stop bankrolling Dundee Football Club because of the irresponsible actions by his representative in Dundee.
Keep posting irresponsible information about me and I will forward Nelms’s email contained the lies about my visit to Gardyne to Tim Keyes.
Your choice.
I attended my first home game in Dens Park in August 1960 and I saw the League Championship winning team matches in the 1961-62 season plus the European Cup home games against Cologne and AC Milan the following season. I also saw the great Dundee FC teams of the 1960’s and first half of the 1970’s including the UEFA cup run in 1971- 72 season, attended the League Cup final on 15th December 1973 at Hampden Park and all the Scottish Cup ties in the 1973-74 both home and away including the Hibs replay at Dens Park with 30,888 spectators inside Dens Park.
The current Dundee FC supporters will never see these feats again in their lifetime.

It seems to me you fall into the glory hunter bracket

All these people you talk about with problems getting tickets obviously got them, so I don?t see what your point is, other than have a pop at the club

Great idea tying up with a hotel with a football stay package. Wouldn't it be a good idea to improve our fan facilities with a state of the art stadium and tag on a hotel and other businesses? Maybe try to site it off the Kingsway. But no we have the council, traffic folk, and naysayers like yourselves and half the DABs in Dundee (including Councillors) doing their absolute best to scupper such plans. Islay, honestly, do you ever have a good word, positive comment or anything to say that isn't negative about the club you purport to support.

Of I know of the problems getting a ticket for a big match if you haven’t already bought one before, I think it was on the pie n bovril site some people coming up from england and wanting to see the game, it was suggested that someone with a season tickets could get their tickets, I think this is probably how they got their tickets and good for them getting into see this match
