    Think we need to back Dee4Life by joining the organisation and taking an early decision about early bird season tickets. Seems to me cash is the only thing that we have and Nelms would like us to give the club. I wonder if there might be some way to use Dee4Life as a block buyer of season tickets?
    May be a very silly thought but why would you buy a season ticket for DFC if you didn't know where they were playing.

    Choose my words carefully here but they leave dens or they say nothing between now and end of season I doubt very much I'd buy anything again until they do.

    Nelms isn't even having to squirm and lie he's getting away with saying nothing.

    He's treating a historic Scottish football club, the 2nd biggest shareholder and it's fanbase with utter contempt.

    Unanimous genuine concern and a recognition that time was an important factor at the D4L AGM two months ago, what has followed has been a charm offensive. The ‘Love in’ being played out on the D4L Facebook page suggests they must be making some progress, let’s hope so.

    Not on facebook so not seeing whats on the D4L page. As you say Scott genuine concern in the room at the meeting in the Dundee Social Club. I left with the feeling that D4L were going to push for answers from the current regime at Dens. Lets hope D4L follow through with that intention, time is indeed now of the essence.We need answers and quickly.

    looking at the Everton game on tv, their fans not happy with the current board of directors, and banners , large and small ,all around the ground protesting.
    at the moment ,looks like the only way to get a message across to Nelms, provided he turns up, and we can get a game on !

    Think club has said that they are trying to balance the books. Not sure where the comment was made but it makes a lot of sense regarding transfer windows and the absolute necessity to get wages down before any new wages could be authorised.
    Don't think the focus on costs is sufficient. Trying to boost sales must also be part of a balanced books strategy.
    Maybe Nelms needs someone to deal with the fans and let him get on with Campy.

    Imagine running a business where all ( well 95%) don't jus want you to succeed but super succeed.....but still thinking and acting like the " customers" are a total pain in the Texan posterior.

    Am I missing something

    No I think you have expressed the problem in terms that everyone can understand. Saying nothing, or stop digging a hole if you are in one, seems to be our football club’s way of dealing with customer relations. It is an alternative approach to passing on information and getting pelters from those who do not want you to be involved with the club.

    On balance I think the say nothing approach is creating more unrest and building up more opposition than a putting out information strategy would.
