Who sets crowd limits

Don't want this thread to fizzle out. Club needs to try to get more supporters back into Dens.level 2 -500, level 1 - 1000, level 0 -2000. How can we be doing nothing? Apologies, appear to be doing nothing!

I won't look to get back into Dens until I can do so without a face covering, hopefully that particular restriction will be next to go.

The club have been stonewalled by the council at almost every step regarding getting fans in and they weren't wanting to let fans in to the play off - the club had to speak to the Scot govt. DCC said they'd had no written confirmation from Holyrood that 500 fans can get in despite it being all over the media.

The club are still getting stonewalled by DCC but the good news is they have sanctioned 2000 at the Forfar game and 4000 from the St Mirren game onwards until further notice. This is a third of capacity more or less and will allow all season tickets holders in.

There is no reason why the club wouldn't want more fans in as it is costing money not to surely. The club have been banging their head against a brick wall with DCC since May.

And a simple statement from the club to the effect that they continue to work with the authorities to increase the number of fans permitted into Dens would keep fans happy - but F all from them. How do they explain the reports of atrocious treatment of fans by stewards? DCC's fault?

That's great news Speroni. It is exactly as I had hoped, that the club was trying to get its supporters back into games. Sometimes having public fights with officialdom can backfire, but if you have commonsense on your side and the public also on your side a wee bit of public comment might have helped DCC to understand that they were out of step. Been surprised that the alleged close relationship with between DCC and our neighbours had not brought this issue to the fore much earlier.

End result is what matters and if it is moving our way then i for one am happy.

The club is being stonewalled by DCC because there are a lot of DCC dab supporting councillors.
It will be interesting to see what happens if Dundee United FC ask for a increase in the number of spectators admitted to Tannadice which is 50% of their seated capacity.
If it is granted then we will know that the DCC bosses and councillors are biased against Dundee Football Club.

It's another crazy rule and people shud call them out on it.
If England got beat last night final capacity was 60,000.
They won so now talking of 90 000.
We are getting ****ing played here big time.
Silverstone in a few weeks 160,000
Dens 500

Wembley decision is more about giving England the best chance of winning than caring about anyone catching Covid.

If, for example, 300 die as a result of the increased capacity but England win the Euros they'll consider it worthwhile. We know BoJo and his sycophantic, self serving tubes are happy enough to 'pile em high' so it's no surprise really.

I wasna getting political just the hypocricay in it all.
Rules shud change on common sense no on who got to the final or how much money is generated thru formula 1.

Politicians do not know the meaning of the word commonsense so sadly that rules out that solution.
