Can't remember

Was the club shop built at the same time as the new stands?

I wonder if the marrs even thought about switching home ends at that time.....

Got another wee taster on last Saturday....on what could be.....with a half full stand almost willing the ball in after dee got 3 or 4 corners on the spin.......I just don't feel this happens at the other end.

But some of the people sitting in The Shankly were the same people that normally sit in the Coxy - are you saying it's the people, the stand, the slope, the sun or a combination?

I think the shop moved around the same time because did the wall not come down at the time the stands were built?

Genuinely can't remember.

I think it's a combination of all of them but people kind of sense the slope helps.

Honestly you cud sense a goal was coming and the players fed off the crowd.

I know it's a bit tricky to do and I know folk are clinging to the hope of moving to campy but creating 3 sides of home fans round the bottom goal would imho be worth half a dozen goals and a few points per season.

A couple of questions.
Where was the club shop before it moved to beside the Bobby Cox Stand.
Where would away fans sit if three stands in Dens Park were set aside for Dundee supporters.
I often think that the Away team has an advantage as their supporters sitting the Bob Shankly Stand and sections A,B and C of the Main Stand are much closer to where the teams run out from the Main Stand (in normal times) than the Dundee supporters.

Dundee shankly, Derry, ABC.....that's around 5,800.....centre stand cud be us or away fans as and when required, other wing away fans, Cox away fans when enough.

In my opinion using the centre stand for away fans is a non starter as this part is used for hospitality seating. Hospitality is a lucrative source of income for the club but sadly too expensive for the ordinary supporter especially when the VAT is added to the price.

How much do you think it should be for a top level football match, 3 course meal and all the drink you can consume ? Just curious

Good question! £25 for the seat, £25 for the meal and £25 for the club. Drink will vary quite a bit but 4or 5 pints at £4 a pint seems to me to mean that the drinks will be around £20.

4 or 5 pints? I don't drink a lot but even I have significantly more than that at hospitality.

Easily need to estimate 10 drinks per person.

You left out paying staff and half time snacks, tea and coffee.

There is no requirement for Hospitality at Dens Park to include as much alcohol as you can consume.
A three course meal with a pay facility at the bar is more than sufficient. Other clubs manage to do. Lochee United are currently advertising hospitality at Thomson Park for £35 per person which includes match entry, SKY Sports and BT Sports on large screen, two course meal with wine, half time refreshments, 5 drink vouchers and meet the players and coaches. https://www.locheeunited.co.uk/hospitality/
Whilst the standard of football at Thomson Park is not as high at Dens Park the game might be more entertaining.
In my opinion Hospitality at Thomson Park is far better value than at Dens Park.
