Campy

You have put forward what I think makes sense if you were a Dundee FC supporter. Say it costs £365k for all the costs of running a stadium., or £1000 per day. I think it very unlikely that DFC would get away with £36k to use the facility on 36 days. Would it not be in our interests to share the facilities straight down the middle?

No

I assume that alt present the Dundee players meet at Dens Park where they change into their training gear before travelling for training at Caird Park or the University grounds. After training has finished they return to Dens Park for showering etc before departing for home.
If we were using another football ground on match days only I assume that the players would have to meet at Caird Park or the University grounds and use the changing room facilities at each site.
I suppose it could work but in my opinion a bit of a comedown for a football club of Dundee FC’s standing.

Definitely no.

Pay half to have maybe 15% of its useful function? And it would never make sense for Dundee FC to share that place at all as very few would accept it and actually go.

I would rather share with Arbroath than go to the dump, think Gayfield holds about 6500, plus you can get the no 73 bus to Arbroath,
And a fish supper after the game !

Does anyone understand what is happening as in what does buying dens back have to do with campy?
I've heard any groundshare wud be arbroath if required.

A complete mess which could have been avoided had the yanks kept their promises.

We are closer than ever to moving into tannadice.....permanently.

If the cards fall against the yanks that's where we will be.

Also I think they have "ruled out tannadice" according DCTs kneeling pressman to test the water......ie tell them we ain't go there and hopefully fans ask " why not".. ..And there's kickback against the other options.......oh right you don't want to travel.....let's go to tannadice then.

That's not what I've been told.

I think you have said in the past that ground sharing might be an acceptable way forward. Can't find the comment so apologies if it wasn't you!

Keyes wants to buy back Dens Park to break the lease on Dens Park which is due to finish in 2036 and pay a total amount of £1,147,804.
Keyes would then sell Dens Park at a profit and use the profit to part fund the rumoured £20 million cost of the development at Campy Nou.
