  1. Club have announced two ticket packages for the remaining games - 

    Package 1 - Two games (Hearts, Motherwell) - £20/£10 and United have the Shed.

    Package 2 - All three games  - same price but no Shed against Celtic.

    I don't expect a decent United support against Celtic given the timing of it and it possibly just being a title party for them (which maybe explains the rumour regarding season ticket hospitality packages usually reserved for United fans in the George Fox Upper being shifted to Celtic fans...)

    It would be great to have heathy crowds for the first two games and the pricing is reasonable enough to encourage that.

    I'd never heard of Adam Barton until he signed for United. It didn't take very long to find an interview with him saying that he hated playing football. You'd think our recruitment team would have considered that.

     

    Interview

    I think it may have been a selling point given some of our signings in recent years - "Do YOU hate playing football? Do YOU want a healthy wage without the commitment of actually playing well? Then join Dundee United!"

  3. I refuse to accept any 'Worst Ever' selections that don't mention names like Lance Key and Julian Alsford, but that is me maybe me just showing my age.

    I have more sympathy with players who at least tried their best, for me Rabitsch falls into that category. He was incredibly limited but he did at least look like he was giving it his best. The same cannot be said for players like Adam Barton.

  4. The lack of a reserve league is a bit shit for the Premiership and trying to keep players match fit/develop players.

    Has anyone been far enough in the beta to know if it returns? Initially I had just my U18s but an U21 squad tab appeared out of nowhere due to the Challenge Cup. I could arrange friendlies manually for that ‘squad’ but it’s rubbish there is not an actual reserve league.

  5. I’m finding it hard to believe that us and Sevco are the only clubs without said ‘Red Zone’.


    No I think the idea is that we do have a Red Zone but that it doesn’t actually impact (or theoretically impact) season ticket holders. United asked about this and were told that clubs have claimed that due to season ticket holder relocation, or prevention from selling season tickets, that they have the streams as a compensatory thing. From what I was told on the phone we are the only club where season ticket seats have either been prevented from being sold or relocated to elsewhere and as such, other teams have used this as a way of still providing streams.

    Rangers just don’t, for whatever reason, which leaves us as being (according to the club) the only team unable to offer season ticket streams this season.

    I’ve already had people tell me that this is all nonsense and that United are still not being entirely transparent, but I’ve lost the energy to keep going back to the club and arguing the point.

    I was also told that the day red zones disappear, is the day that PPV in general just disappears (because at present clubs cannot sell to capacity).
  6. Thanks for your efforts in this, much appreciated.
    Not sure if the taste & smell thing is a bad thing. I've kept mine, but wish I hadn't the taste in my mouth has been horrendous! You had the racing resting heart rate? That was scary, thankfully last couple of hours everything seems to have calmed down other than shivers and headache.


    No worries. I’ve had little else to do, so a crusade against United has kept me busy!

    Heart has been fine, my main issues have been constantly exhausted, shivers and dizziness. I do feel better today than I have done since Monday so fingers crossed.
  7. The club actually phoned me. It seems clearer now (I think).

    United do not have any ‘Red Zone’ within an area that would normally be used by Season Ticket holders, other clubs have been able to claim that red zones have technically impacted on season tickets and have circumnavigated their way around it using that.

    In other news, the Covid isn’t going away and now I have reached the dreaded no taste and smell stage. Which is shite.

  8. Let's be charitable and say they are misunderstanding the rules. This would only apply to games live on Sky.


    It might be that. I’ve since sent them information that at least 9 out of 12 clubs offer a streaming service to ST holders. There is also a line in United’s own Season Ticket package that claims the club will continue to offer streams to fans unless there is a change to the broadcasting deal.
  9. I watched the Dundee game against Rangers with my brothers season ticket log in last weekend. The club posted something before the match saying anyone outside of england could stream the game.


    I’ve seen at least six clubs offer a service for Season Ticket holders (can’t see any info on - St.Johnstone, Livi, Ross County and Hibs). I think Rangers don’t and United obviously don’t.
  10. Fairly sure that will be fine but the rules change nearly every day either from our end or Spain's. I'm going later in the month and am waiting for a few days to try the app when hopefully it will have settled down going by the accounts on here.


    I eventually got on the App and fully registered, or so I thought. I’ve been told I have “No Match” to anyone on the NHS database.
  11. Sorry to hear you’ve caught Covid, hope it goes soon with minimal impact.
    Only solution I can think of is VPN (I thought you had that at one time) then you can buy the game as a foreign buyer.
     
     


    Cheers, I feel a bit better today so I’m hoping I’m over the worst. Stuck in the house until next Thursday though.

    I can get the £12.50 domestic PPV which is what they still offer (I do also still have a VPN). It’s the principle of paying and that, based on my Twitter messages to the club, I’m not entirely sure United are being truthful about the whole “It’s Sky, not us” thing, given I’ve seen other clubs offer it as little as a couple of weeks ago.
