Dens park doomsday clock

[Deebunked]

Can anyone say for certain that there is one?

There's a plan. That's the mantra.

Nelms is our Rumpelstiltskin and will keep spinning his yarns in exchange for our soul. The man is a danger to DFC

A lot has changed in 18 months, for example reduced entrance and exits for the stadium carboark and reduction in car park spaces to make them fit into the wee Art Attack stadium drawing better.
For all believers it's been stated time and again that the drawings so far are indicative only, can anyone claim to have seen the actual plan?

Architects drawings are expensive hence the reason that only indicative drawings have been produced.

A wee bit harsh when you think that a mere 18 months ago ….

Article headline - Dundee chief John Nelms reveals excitement over leap forward in Camperdown stadium plan.

Dundee are excited after taking the next step in their Camperdown stadium dream. Managing Director John Nelms has appointed a project manager to take plans for a new ground forward.

Excitement ?
Leap ?
Dream ?
Project Manager ?
18 Months ?

What’s the score ?

I am assuming the project manager appointed by John Nelms 18 months ago is the same project manager who was in charge of the projector at the Pre Application Notice meeting at the Landmark Hotel last September answering questions about the CAD design of the new stadium development projected on to a wall.

My car will not be in the car park at Campy Nou as I am not prepared to sit in a long queue on the Kingsway waiting at the traffic lights on the Myrekirk roundabout to get round it and back up the Kingsway to join another long queue to get into the Campy Nou car parks.
I will sit at home and read the text updates like the thousand of Dundee supporters who no longer attend home games at Dens Park.

Curious Islay.....not a smart ass question but in the grand scheme of things wud ground sharing at tannadice permanently be preferable to a new stadium on Kingsway.

My preference would be new stadium but doubt I'd go as regularly and certainly wouldn't be a season tic holder.

Tannadice would see me pack it up......that's the road we are currently heading imho and no smoke and mirrors from Linda is gonna convince me otherwise.

New stadium like reluctantly moving to a nursing home when you just need a bit of help in yer ane hame.

I will never go to another game if we share Tannadice. I don't even go there now to see Dundee when we play them. I hate the place.

A new stadium is definitely the way forward.
We just seem to have the wrong boy running the show.
Dens unfortunately is unfit for purpose,can it be rectified?
I'm dubious its really possible with the lay out.

The problem is that there are no suitable sites in Dundee. The city has expanded about as far north as it can as it is hemmed in by the Sidlaws to the north and the hills of north Fife across the River Tay.
The Kingsway bypass is now a major trunk road running through Dundee.
In my opinion there is nothing wrong with Dens Park.
We have two modern stands which have enough seating capacity to accommodate all our home games in the Championship and several home games in the Premier League.
FPS would be better spending their money doing the same thing as Hearts and replacing the Main Stand at Dens Park which a new modern state of the art Main Stand.
Then the club could charge different prices depending on where you sat in the ground.
I am surprised that people sitting in the South Enclosure do not pay a reduced price for their season ticket and matchday ticket as the seats in the South Enclosure are inferior compared to the seats in the Bobby Cox Stand and the Main Stand.

I don't believe for one minute that this stadium will ever come off, however if there's ever been a suitable place in Dundee for a sports stadium then surely a site on the A90, which is the main trunk road from Glasgow and Edinburgh to Aberdeen, surely has to be it? Keeps all traffic on trunk roads, gets it into and out of the city with minimal disruption, and keeps the hoards away from residential areas.

I live in Downfield on the existing northern limits of Dundee. It's 3.5 miles from my house to The Sidlaws - there is plenty space for Dundee to expand northwards and this is happening with new housing estates springing up everywhere. Including around your precious Downfield golf course which, in my view, should be closed down completely to allow the construction of new council housing in an effort to release pressure on the city's current diminished housing stock, a crisis created by Tory scum insisting that council houses should be sold for peanuts to tenants.

It's well known that should Dundee have secured the oil industry work rather than Aberdeen the city was planned to expand in all directions including south and into Fife. There are no significantly sized hills in Fife to the south between Dundee and the Lomonds, approximately 25 miles away, so plenty space there.

Let's be honest, you haven't got a clue and would be better just winding your neck in.
