    One of the reasons they bought United is because of the assets that is Tannadice. Owned by Dundee United.

    Tannadice is still security against a loan but we still own it. The only time we stop owning Tannadice if we default and Hugh Duncan acts on the default. It's just the same as remortgaging your house. You still own it as long as you meet the payments.

    We have never not owned Tannadice even with money borrowed against it.

    Seen your man's interview on TV...as the new owner of the club how is Tannadice an asset to him..what I mean is whatever Tannadice is worth it's not like a player who you can sell and replace...unless he is planning to sell I can't see why he would say that.

    I understood that as: why would we go into a groundhsare when we have a stadium like Tannadice?

    exactly and he can sell it as part if the club when he does - also inferred investing to spruce it up and make match day experience for fans better. Including catering

    Great interviews Ogren Sr Brannigan and Harkes.

    Looking forward now to 220 mile round trip to the Gable Endies. Weirdly never seen a game at Montrose.

    Couple more signings and it's lift off.

    Really excited for the future of our great club after listening to Mr Ogren . We seem to have a club that is now being run at last with people who know what there doing, moving forward which will begin with us getting us back into the Premiership for next season.

    Shed Rule.......

    I'm always wary of foreign investors and owners at a football club but, listening to him, it's difficult not to come away with a really positive impression. And he didn't mention a monorail.....
