Next time Rangers 2012 visit...

I enclose details of Hospitality from the Arbroath Football Club website. https://shop.arbroathfc.co.uk/browse/c-Matchday-7
They charge £102 for their hospitality while the equivalent hospitality package at Dundee Football Club is £130 plus VAT which equates to £156.
The cost of a match day adult ticket at Arbroath will be a bit less but certainly not £54 less.

Do you think that DFC in the Premier, should be charging the same as Arbroath in the Championship.

You worked for the bank, do you think that full time DFC have far higher operating costs, than part time Arbroath?

It’s just as well that we aren’t fan owned, because if you’re representitve of that model, we’d have been bust years ago.

Sitting in the centre part of the Main Stand at the Livingston game there were precious few people sitting in reserved seats for people paying top dollar for hospitality.

Against Rangers, it was full.

Against Rangers, it was full.

That must have been the only part of the home stands at the Rangers game which were full.

It was a mixed bag, Dundee and Rangers supporters. But not sure sure what your point is?

You have obviously not heard the saying about getting bums on seats. Staff still have to be employed in hospitality in the Dens Park lounges whether they are nearly empty or full.
You previously stated that you thought that the cost of hospitality in Dens Park was expensive.
You have obviously not read the Dundee Football Club Limited annual accounts for the year ending 31st May 2022 which do not make healthy reading.
FPS and Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited are due over £2.3 million in loans with total creditors due in excess of £3.6 million.
I enclose the Dundee Football Club Limited annual accounts for the year ending 31st May 2022 and you should pay particular attention to Notes 8 and 14 to the accounts. https://dundeefc.co.uk/wp-content/up...2023-05-29.pdf

So charging £71 for Hospitality would negate these losses. That seems to be what you’re saying.

That's what you have just implied that he is saying. He has enough words of his own to express himself without you putting more words in his mouth. I think there is a point to make that player sponsorship has taken a back seat. Maybe 1893 Foundation is a more popular method for getting fans, who aren't able to attend games, to donate money? It a regular monthly amount rather than a chunk of money all in a oner.

Yesterday a poster on the Dark Blues Forum stated that the Hospitality in the Andy Penman Lounge for this Saturday’s game against St Mirren which costs £59 for a one course meal, a seat in Andy Penman Lounge reserved seats section in the Main Stand, half time refreshments and a pay bar appears to be sold out as it was no longer being advertised on the Club website.

How can Rangers and Dundee supporters both be in the Hospitality when there was supposed to be segregation at the game.
