Are There Still 11,000 Dundee fans ?

[GB72]

It's been explained to you on here several times so I'm not doing it again. I reckon one would be justifiable and probably enough though.

Wasnt that long ago that you thought every match at Dens should be all tix

Now your wanting a cash gate at one turnstyle

All im asking is why cant every turnstyle have a cash facillity?

The bobby cox wont be anywhere near to capacity at any game this season

You're spinning that and we both know it, I've never said I thought every game should be all ticket. I said I agreed with the club's ticketing policy after having the reasons for its implementation explained to me. I do however now believe that one cash turnstile in The Coxy would be justifiable.

The Bobby Cox was all but full against United last week, if we get them at Dens in The Scottish Cup it's likely to be there again.

Do you think the club shud approach dab council re Derry?

I think having to get a ticket wont put off most that post on here or Pravda but I think if you can be bothered to post on a fitba forum then dfc will mean a bit more to you than the boy in the pub at half two whose swithering about going.

I've honestly got Dundee supporting pals who go to 3 or 4 games a year who wud get over it in a weekend if dfc shut the doors.

We are making it easier and easier to stop these boys going instead of the opposite.

Of course they should approach the council. But given the stuff that's gone on during the derbies with people standing on seats I don't see the council, DAB or not, being happy to relax requirements.

As I've said before if it wasn't the double queue that puts people off going it would be something else, I want to go and will always find a reason to go - opposite applies to those that don't really want to go. Anybody that goes to the effort of getting to Dens and decides against going in because there's a queue at the ticket desk probably shouldn't be going to public events where queuing is normal. I've queued longer at ASDA checkouts than people have to queue to get tickets for Dens.

Would these guys be happier queuing for five minutes at a cash gate rather than the shop or would they about turn as soon as they saw the queue?

Do these guys remember queuing at a cash gate on Dens Road whilst there were season ticket holder only gates with nobody queuing at them? Did that stop them going? Same question to anyone that thinks ticket only turnstiles at Dens are new. I remember queuing for fifteen minutes to pay into Dens in the seventies - nobody complained, stamped their feet or went in the huff and walked away back then.

I think some people would only go if they could walk right in the exit doors and straight to their preferred seat unimpeded by anyone or anything.

interesting no i never walked away when q'ing in the 70's 80's etc
however
when change is imposed then people can get a bit pished off,the 1st time i encountered q'ing for a tkt then again at a turnstile was at ross county,cant think of another entertainment avenue that does this,that in itself tells a story.

do you think the club would employ the same practice in the hospitality lounges? i doubt it

the stadium of light have cash gates on more than a few turnstiles even when the gate is in excess of 35k

There would be no queues if every turnstyle had a cash facillity...

Still no genuine reason why COX is all tix

I know what your saying in the above post, I do honest but we need a 1000 or so more regulars, we can do this as we have just lost 1000 or so regulars in the Last couple of years.

Even if we can persuade the 3 or 4 games a season guys to go to 7 or 8 it wud make a huge difference.

Its hard to get in the mindset of a 3 or 4 game a season guy but the board have got to try and do this to find ways of increasing the amount of games they attend.

Patg is easiest way, patg in Derry (nearest most of the pubs) is next easiest.

All imho.

P.s mibbe said this afore but I've been in a crush.....at the national in lpool....terrifying.

How they get a safety certificate god only knows.

No sure how folk entering with a ticket rather paying with cash, has an impact on safety?

At Dens it does.....more unsafe with a ticket.

Tickets do nothing to alter the safety of a stadium in a positive way, fixing stairs, tannoy and exit might though.....shud employ a stadium manager that's my suggestion....with all due respect.

No spinning anything

You argued that you were happy that every stand was all ticket, and today you have again said fans are using it as an excuse not to go to Dens...

Shaded has said he went home because of the queing situation already this season (how many more are like that) ?

If the Bobby Cox is full to capacity for any league game this season it will be a miracle

Again il ask

Why not cash gates at every turnstyle in Cox rather just one?
