    You can sit cheek to jowel in Cox and shankly and of course everyone will wash their hands in the loo.....not

    But you can't open the Derry and apply some of hmacs suggestions.

    3 sided ground.....equals.....**** atmosphere

    And now that Dee fans and well fans will have a wee flash point outside shankly with no polis objection......this surely knocks on head once and for all we can't switch home ends.

    No will to try anything different.

    As soon as it was announced that the Motherwell fans would be housed in the Sections A, B and C of the Main Stand and Dundee fans sitting in the Bob Shankly Stand I realised was a recipe for disaster at the end of the game. However it is not my job to explain that to the ‘experts’ in Dundee City Council who should have worked that out for themselves.
    The Main Stand should have been opened for Dundee supporters with the Motherwell supporters being housed in the Bob Shankly Stand.
    That is why this morning I purchased my ticket for the Bobby Cox Stand.

    Why a recipe for disaster?

    Dundee and Motherwell supporters will both be exiting stands next to each other onto Sandeman Street. All you need is one or two hotheads to have a disagreement with the opposition fans and there could a battle royal.
    If the South Enclosure and the Main Stand apart from Sections A, B and C were open this would not happen with the Motherwell supporters housed in the Bob Shankly Stand.

    But they’d still empty onto tammadice street?

    There will be little chance of any trouble as the Motherwell FC fans are being held back inside the stadium after the match to allow the home support who are in the Shankly to clear the area.

    This was stated in one of the letters given out when puchasing a ticket for the Motherwell game.

    Motherwell and Dundee fans have a long history of getting involved in all sorts of trouble with each other before and after matches right enough so highly likely that there will be multiple incidents of items being thrown and possibly even stabbings after the game.

    Oh, wait a minute.

    I think social media will be the only thing that will create pressure, if pressure is needed, to get all our stands open. We typically sell about half of the capacity of our ground. The key addition of PATG facilities is absolutely *****.

    Club shop has the water cannons ready, so it's brewing.😁
