The DERRY

[Deeranged]

The issue won't go away Deeranged as like me I think your highly sceptical about this new stadium.

What gives you that idea? The stadium is still in planning but as with everything the club is being (a bit overly in my opinion given that it's a project with such a significant effect on fan morale) tight lipped over it. Until we hear it is off then it has to be considered as still on.

I reckon that Dundee FC won't be playing at Dens in five years from now so the original point about spending unnecessarily is valid.

I'd imagine, and hope, that DFCSS would back the implementation of the licensing restrictions imposed upon the club in order to ensure that The Derry could remain open. One of those restrictions being the requirement to allow turnstile entry by valid ticket only.

What benefit, and how does it make it any safer if you enter the Derry by tix rather than cash?

I would hate the club to spend thousands £££ on Dens if they are definitely leaving, but, surely with a construction firm sponsoring the stadium, and some volunteers we can tidy the place up.

I'm not a member of any club.

Same for me, I don't travel by bus to away games so no point in joining one.

I tried contacting the SLO, who I was under the impression was there to liaise with supporters, on another matter but given his failure to respond to my email it certainly seems to me that that may not be the case. Had he responded I'd feel more confident about raising the issue of the SE access with him.

I believe our SLO is (or was) also on the DSA committee so maybe you have to be a member of an affiliated club to receive the courtesy of a response, I'm just not sure how it works.

I have no idea, you'd need to ask the licensing and police about that.

I'd hope to still be at Dens but I'm 95% certain if stadium dosent happen it will be a share of tannadice, end of club.

Couldn't agree more. Pretty sure with a bit of planning and coordination a significant difference could be made.

Quite simply it dosent, it was a petty vindictive punishment.

In any instance of sharing at Tannadice I think the club would go on but it would be without people like us on board. How many cantankerous old buggers like us would take that stance though? Remember we shared with them before for a short time and people went (I didn't).

The club wud survive for a spell in an e Stirling falkirk type way but eventually be swallowed up.

I think the yanks shudnt totally close off moving to new stadium thus claiming it was a temporary move to keep enuf on board b4 dissapearing and dfcss taking control over their much longed for committee type club.

I went to tannadice b4 because I knew it was temporary.

Next time we move there it won't be.
