I remember traveling during that time. Glasgow was a dangerous place to go and the journey home could be just as bad. Shotts Blackford and Auchterarder were wild places at times with traveling fans of all teams coming together on their journey home. Great to see lots of younger fans as it looks good for the future, With the upcoming financial climate on its way maybe the club can look at making special matchday deals to help keep the fans attending.

Not sure how this has all come to be but the United support of 2022 are a very passionate bunch who i reckon turn everything Dundee United on its head.What i mean is although i always harp back to the glory days of the 80's i still remember the fans as being pretty hard to please and players like Bannon,Holt and others sometimes getting pelters.

The current younger generation's of supporters have in the main had F ALL to shout about for years yet back the team to the hilt especially away.Even when not allowed to attend matches during the pandemic hundreds still went to Tannadice just to see the team busses leaving for the Sheep Massacre in the Scottish.

I have moaned like phuck about the product on the park for the last couple of season's but still thousands travel away all over the country no matter how bad we have been.We will never have a fan base as large as the OF,Hearts,Hibs or Aberdeen but few could argue that we are competing on at least a par with the latter 3 with our away support and for atmosphere in the away end we give all 5 i mention a run for their money,FACT with a WASC.


EDIT to add as for the teams who think they are on a par with us let this sink in,we are on course to take more fans over 800 miles to Amsterdam than DFC had at Dens in TWO Scottish Cup ties v Motherwell and The Rangers combined.This despite our opponents hammering Tuzla City 0-4 away and the bookies predicting a similar outcome at Tannadice.

No social media in those days. I'm not a huge fan, but..... it defo connects everyone instantly, and that seems to be working for us. The Snug walk would never have happened back in the day, nor the embarrassing coffin ane

The bloggers/Vloggers etc have raised the bar, everyone carrying a phone means athin' is documented forever.

I would imagine a gang fight could be organised in a few minutes these days instead oh passing the news around school and youth clubs for at least a week

(not that i'm condoning gang fights)

Bottom line is............. The young guns , male and female, are taking hold of the baton and doing us proud.
Not forgetting the auld anes who still tag along

All is very good.

Every supporter at every game makes a difference

When 28k Arabs turned out in the final in 2010 it was magnificent. If the 22k who don’t usually attend went to just two home games a season it would bump our support up to 9k for every game, and give a good argument for always keeping the shed

I lived in Auchterarder for a while and used to get picked up by the United coaches on their way to games in the west of Scotland in the 70's. You are right Roma84, there used to be some skirmishes in that town. Used to be a great chip shop in Shotts

Something funny a young lad shared with me today troops a photie was put up of around 30 Funsters with a blue smoke bomb making their way to the match in Kirkcaldy,a young Arab posted the Arab hordes march on Thursday and put above it that's us level then.
