Official Nelmsy Campus Countdown

DAFC report seemed to me to be very interesting. It showed that there is a long term strategy, where training and investing in young players is a way forward. Only fly in that ointment is the short term attitude of DAFC supporters who want managers sacked, players bought and revolution every transfer window, not quite what they said but my take from it.

Very very worrying if the Gardyne approach is under threat, seems odd that having made such a fuss about the quality of the facilities that Riverside, with a purpose built facility is now our plan?

Can see that removing the need for part of Camperdown Park to be included in the new stadium scheme removes a problem.

This afternoon I heard a rumour that the owners of DAFC have put their shareholding up for sale as money they have put into DAFC cannot be accounted for.
Are you aware that Aberdeen FC had a youth academy in Gardyne up to 2016/17 for young players in the Dundee area which they then closed down.
It is possible that the Dundee and Angus College bosses were looking to replace this loss of income and eventually persuaded DFC to rent their office suite at Gardyne.
It would be interesting to know what Greg Fenton’s role was in this with him being a Dundee and Angus College graduate.
The main problem with the new stadium development is the traffic issues on the A90 Kingsway such as entering and accessing the stadium car parks before and after the end of each game.
The traffic lights at the Myrekirk roundabout and only one underpass close to the new stadium to allow supporters to reach their cars parked in the streets on the opposite side of the Kingsway after the end of every game. This underpass is often flooded during the autumn and winter period.

Islay, there's stuff that is factual and there's stuff that is conjecture. I think you would get a much more positive audience if you stuck to facts.

Sorry don't mean to be unhelpful, but often, at least in my opinion, you turn good ideas and facts into questionable criticism.

The move away from Gardyne is a matter of interest. I don't know anything about it and would like some confirmation that it is actually part of the future for us.

I can only post what I hear about Dunfermline Athletic FC which is more than has been posted on here.
Like you I know nothing about the move away from Gardyne but the Dundee supporters will be the last to hear about it if it is true.
In my opinion the Club should never have moved their offices from Dens Park to Gardyne. The Dundee FC Community Trust previously used offices behind the Bob Shankly Stand which could have also been used by Dee Promotions.

So how has this issue, about Gardyne come from. It seems odd that there is no substance to a rumour. Agree , I don't see how moving staff from Dens would save money, but, it should have been more efficient for those managing the various teams.

And all adds to the worry if the stadium does not go ahead......what then.

I'm worrying about the what if......and I'm no wanting to move.

Do you honestly think we would sell dens and ground share?

Do you honestly think we would sell dens and ground share?

The entrenched rights of the A shares can block ground sharing at Tannadice plus it would hit Tim Keyes very hard in his pocket as Dundee FC supporters including myself refused to set foot in Tannadice.
How much do you think the directors of Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited would get selling Dens Park bearing in mind that they borrowed money from the Isle of Man financial company Soho Green in October 2023 secured over the Dens Park Stadium at an annual interest rate of between 11.40% and 24%.
Nelms signed the application form to borrow the money from Soho Green two weeks before it was announced on 3rd October 2023 that Dens Park now under the control of Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited. (Source Companies House website).
