Official Nelmsy Campus Countdown

I'm in the 10% but I don't think the true figure is anywhere near 70 -75%

I'm basing it on the various fan sites, folk I know, folk who sit around me and supporters club bus I go on.....no very scientific but a guid mix

If you look on Pravda almost to a man they think it's happening.....some probably still believe Nelmsys timescale.....this is probably the most sceptical group.

I've stated my fear many times.....we end up at the dump......that's why I've very reluctantly come round and hope it happens but still doubt it very much

At the Dee4life AGM in November 2023 a question was put to the 23 members at the meeting.
Would you attend Dundee FC home games if the club was forced to group share permanently at Tannadice.
Two members said that they would attend home games at Tannadice if Dundee Football Club were forced to permanently leave Dens Park and ground share at Tannadice with the rest of the members voting No to attending Dundee FC home games at Tannadice.

There has been a discussion on the Friends of Dundee FC Facebook page about the new stadium development at Campy Nou PPIP and why it has not been discussed by the members of the Dundee City Council planning committee.
One poster blamed the DCC planning committee members for this delay and suggested that they did not receive the right type of brown envelopes.
I told him to send an email to John Nelms asking him what was causing the delay.
If he does so it will be very doubtful if he receives a reply from Nelms.

I think that more and more think/know that the delay lies with John Nelms & the proposal. The silence is deafening at the moment. I wonder if the training ground will go ahead.

I'm calling bullsh1t on the training ground too

I think there's more than a smidge of the fabulist about Nelmsy

If the training ground goes ahead Dundee Football Club will have to pay to use it as the planning application was submitted by the Dundee FC Community Trust which is registered as a charity with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) who are based at Riverside Drive in Dundee.
Everything has to be above board with outside groups including Dundee Football Club paying to rent the training grounds at Riverside assuming that they are ever built.
In my opinion it suits Nelms to keep dragging things along as it keeps him in the public eye and he does not have to state where the funding for his new stadium development at Campy Nou is really coming from.
A 100 year mortgage on a depreciating commercial asset does not fit the bill especially as I have never heard of financial companies granting 100 year mortgages for a new commercial development.
I suppose Nelms could go ‘cap in hand’ to Soho Green to ask “Please sir came I have another ?95 million in funds to pay for my new stadium development at Campy Nou which is currently a piece of waste ground”.

I reckon that the training ground will not go ahead as the Dundee FC Community Trust appears to be short of money.
Charging a ?2 entrance fee to enter the Penman Lounge when it is not required for hospitality with the entrance fee money going to the Community Trust gives me the impression that the Community Trust are desperate for funds.
If my hunch is correct then why has this happened.
That is easy to explain.
When Greg Fenton was appointed General Manager of Dundee Football Club in addition to remaining the Chief Executive of the Dundee FC Community Trust he took his eye off the ball.
It is the Chief Executive of the Community Trust along with their board of Trustees who are responsible for sourcing funding and making funding applications to Charitable Foundations for funds to allow the Dundee FC Community Trust to remain in business.

It's all gonna come to a conclusion very shortly.

Might go thru in march......I have a strong suspicion it won't even be heard in march.

The lack of update from nelms, the lack of questioning from DSA, D4L and the local press damns them all really.

All existing in this cosy "don't rock the boat " parallel universe.
