ground renting

[TerryTheTerror]

There aren't many clubs that still reside in the stadium the club started in. We are one of them.

Tannadice is a great stadium for the requirements. It has it's faults, like most... (lang legs in the JK etc.) Great views from most areas. (including the JK) Not too far from the pitch from any seat. Decent hospo facilities. Add to that a pretty decent loyal home support, no matter what.

And that doesn't include the history and memories, some well before my time.

Unless forced out.........LONG LIVE TANNADICE !

Well said big Ron. You make a resounding case for staying where we are.
There's not much wrong with Tanners.
Let's stay there forever. (Not sure how long that might be...)
LONG LIVE TANNADICE INDEED!

Tannadice is perfect for us and it is our home.

I hope we NEVER move

Agreed, you can walk to tannadice from town, easier back, and there’s life, people, shops and especially great pubs all around

We just need a team that keeps the supporters happy and the turnstiles turning

Eventually I think we will see some sort of fan buy out/in at tannadice, ultimately we’re the only ones who care enough to subsidise our side, can’t rely on individual benefactors any more, we need a community take over.

If Dundee are planning on leaving Dens soon as their radical non maintenance plan suggests events may happen relatively quickly.

Does this mean Dens stadium licence is still awaiting renewal?

I say the following knowing that at this stage its all hypothetical until planning is submitted/approved .

I love Tannadice , in an ideal world I would always pick to remain at our home .

But the reality is this .
If ( and again at this stage its still an IF ) the "New Campy" project goes ahead I don't think anyone can deny this is going to be an absolute massive thing for the Dee's .In fact not only a big thing for them individually as a club but looking at the bigger picture I cant help but agree with Jim Spence who, like him or loathe him we all know is a true passionate Arab , when he says if this project goes ahead it can be game changer for football in this city .

Football doesn't stand still , if you don't move with the times you can go from a once big club to one that has fallen quite remarkably and very quickly if you aren't careful ( Just look across the road ironically for evidence of that ) and these falls can often taken a very long time to climb out of if ever at all .

We are a club deeply in debt , currently playing outwith the top flight and with an owner wanting his cash out and to walk away if stories are to be believed.

Would we rather be part of something that was going to make huge financial sense, benefits our club and helps us move forward or do we potentially stagnate or even worse regress but in doing so go to bed at nights knowing at least we are still at Tannadice ?

A potential new stadium ground share would see our running costs fall dramatically and would afford us extra income streams on match days and beyond.

Personally I would not be against the idea if it helps our own club which undoubtedly I think it would .

I know its been said a million times before but its very true , if its good enough for Inter & AC Milan its surely good enough for Dundee's two sides .

No thanks and no way 🙅*♂️

Seconded, Spence is an utter clown with his talk of this

You cannot compare dens and Tannadice at all, just look a big derbies or the alkmaar type games, Tannadice looks amazing, sounds amazing and it feels like a big event not just to us but to neutrals watching it attending

We don't need a new ground, they do as their owners would never try to redevelop what they have

Leave them to it

[Jaspar]

Mr Spence seems desperate to get column inches….. must be on a bonus.
Once he was almost credible but now…..

[weegiearab]

A ground share may seem sensible but would it really make that much sense? It would be a hard job to maintain a pitch with both teams playing on it unless we went to astro. It would probably mean a drop in fans attending games in the short term, as many fans attend the games for sentimental reasons. The change of stadium would likely be the reason for many fans to cut ties with the club. And unless every other team was planning upgrading their stadiums to the same standard, then it would be , to quote Frankie Boyle "like putting 20 inch wheel trims on a wheelie bin" Scottish football is built for 2 teams, and unless we were taken over by a Saudi Prince...we would never be more than an extra in the Bigot Show. Maybe we should lean into the Arab name and only recruit players from the middle east because we all know that religious intolerance is where the TV money is at! Genuinely though, I think that until such a time arrives when the 2 Glasgow teams get away from our league....then it is all a pointless exercise. The fans just want a decent view, a bit of a laugh, some entertainment and a half decent pie. Sometimes you are better with the devil you know!
