Wonder how many have seen it.

It certainly would.
One thing is certain. If Tim Keyes had purchased Dens Park from Sandeman Properties Limited with the Dundee fans fundraising to buy back their spiritual home the club would not now be paying £84,500 rent in 2021 which is the approximate equivalent of the cost of salaries of two first team players.
According to the Dundee Football Club Limited annual accounts for the year ending 31st May 2021 the club will have pay £1,026,969 to Sandeman Properties Limited until the end of the lease whilst still being responsible for the cost of any repairs and improvements at Dens Park.
What a waste of money which could have been avoided if John Nelms had agreed with the business case made for the buy back of Dens Park.
I am sure that the money could have been raised by now as Dundee supporters worldwide would have likely donated plus anyone else who had an interest in the club.
The 1893 Foundation raised £125k in its first year despite the money going directly into the Dundee FC bank account with the 1893 Foundation members having no say on how their money was being spent.

Sorry. Didn't think it was possible to upgrade Dens - according to some!

It is possible to upgrade Dens Park.
There are already two perfectly good stands namely the Bobby Cox Stand and the Bob Shankly Stand.
The Main Stand could be rebuilt parallel and a lot closer to the pitch whilst due to falling attendances the South Enclosure could be abandoned until a later date.
Hamilton Accies, ICT, Falkirk FC and Partick Thistle only have stands on three sides of their pitch
