    How long

    Could DFC survive as middle ranking club in Scottish football if we are homeless?

    6 mths

    1 season

    1 year

    3 year

    5 year....as is now being suggested.

    I reckon 1 season tops but we will still be damaged

    One or two seasons.

    Season ticket sales might hold up in the first season but would likely fall off a cliff the second and a third would be untenable.

    If it was Tannadice I wouldn't even buy in season one, just wouldn't go.

    It will cost Tim Keyes a lot of money in falling season ticket sales if we are homeless as well as Dundee supporters who purchase tickets for home matches.

    Would you rather travel to Perth for home matches

    I would yes, for one season. But I just don't want anything to do with them over the road I hate them too much, can fully understand those that would prefer Tannadice but it's not for me.

    Thought your opinion was that we would share our new stadium. No doubt I am wrong. I worry that we will be faced with a permanent ground share at Tannadice and our American owners have this as their plan B. Have not been unduly concerncd about the future off our club until quite recently. I did not think that an elaborate stadium project was a way for our owners to exit from their investment in DFC. But dropping the stadium element could be a way to realise some cash from their Camperdown investment and as everyone has said, getting out of Dens, especially if they have done a deal to buy it, makes us a football club without a ground.

    John Nelms should forget about his new stadium at Campy Nou and either use the site for a state of the art training facility or a crematorium with a garden of remembrance or memorial garden.

    We would share "a" stadium.

    Always said there's a reasonably adequate one 200 yards down the road unfortunately.

    I think we will be there before long and if no new stadium is built ( my hunch 80% it won't be) then thatl be our permanent home.

    Been fairly consistent in my views which I'm still hoping against hope is way off the mark but I've been pointing out for years they have been running Dens down......I'm gutted if I'm honest......people just kept saying why should the yanks spend money when we are getting a new one.🙄

    Nelms is getting far too easy a ride in this monumental gamble with DFC.

    I think permanent groundshare/amalgamation is plan A and a half......there's no plan b.....never has been, never will be.
