I have decided not to reply to the question of affordability. I can't get any figures that makes it look achievable and maybe we should just wait and see. Still think Dee4life need to find a way to raise money.

Dee4life are due to be holding a members meeting online on the evening of Monday 18th March 2024.
That would be a golden opportunity for any Dee4life members to put forward the subject of Dee4life setting up a stadium fund raising scheme in case the current directors of Sandeman Properties Limited do not repay their loan secured over Dens Park within the laid down timescales.

Considering Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited are paying between 9% and 24% interest on their current loan secured against their Camperdown development site it is very unlikely that they will be able to obtain a loan paying zero per cent interest for 100 years.
I think that Nelms has inflated the costs of running Dens Park to justify building a new stadium development at Camperdown the same way as he has greatly inflated the number of DSA members.
Technically speaking the DSA has 23 affiliated supporters clubs whilst Dee4life has 531 members.

DSA members are the 23 member clubs x there membership, I’d hazard a guess at between 650 and 700

There are certainly a lot less than the 6,000 plus quoted by John Nelms.

There won’t be 6,000 members, but there will be far more than 700. I would say between the Ferry, and Carnoustie, there will be around 120 minimum.

According to discussion at the Dee4life members meeting held online a week past Monday the DSA have 32 member clubs with the addition of all the members of these clubs totalling between 2,000 and 3,000 people. One Dundee FC supporters club has two members.
It was also mentioned that there was a Dundee FC supporters club which had 1,500 members.
By my calculations this will be the Friends of Dundee FC Facebook Group which has no annual membership fee and a number of the people registered as members of the Friends of Dundee Football Club Facebook Group are also members of other Dundee FC supporters clubs affiliated to the DSA.

DSA has no members, it has affiliate clubs and club members become DSA affiliates through their clubs. As you rightly point out some of those clubs have very few members - some of them are based in foreign countries on the other side of the world and their members never see Dundee FC play except on Fire Stick. But because if John Nelms says 'jump' the DSA asks 'how high' they are his favoured supporters' organisation.

It was a very clever move to include the 'Friends Of Dundee FC' Facebook group as a club to artificially boost affiliate numbers - in fact too clever for the DSA board to have made it, it must have been John Nelms' idea.

A lot of these clubs have single figure membership, our has less than 80 but take a bus every game, most of them don’t take buses to matches and are member clubs in name only, I’m not trying to belittle the DSA, just trying to show a more realistic number, you could probably push it to 1000

I have heard that there are about 1,000 members of DSA affiliated Dundee FC supporters clubs.
However there is no minimum number of members required to set up a Dundee FC supporters club affiliated to the DSA.
Back in 2012 it was suggested to me by I think Kenny Ross that I could set up an Islay Dundee FC supporters club which would then pay the required affiliation fee to become a member of the DSA.
There were only three adult Dundee FC supporters living on Islay so I decided not to bother.
