    There’s also a lot of “there’s a perfectly good pitch across the road- just switch it to Tannadice”.

    I’m sure I speak for everyone connected with United when I say we don’t want that disgusting club anywhere near our pitch.

    And we don’t want Rangers there either

    Who are the "Dundee Civic Trust" and how much clout do they have?

    They have responded to our stadium planning application basically tearing it to shreds, the part where they mention no consideration to ground sharing is very bizarre.

    1. the unsafe, dangerous and congestion-inducing transportation proposals;

    2. the substantially increased car use which will be inevitable, given the relatively isolated location from existing residential centres;

    3. the fact that the excessive congestion in the whole area will not be limited to football match days, but will extend to the times – possibly over more than one day – when the stadium will be used as a “concert venue set-up – 8,000-20,000 [spectators]”;

    4. the residential developments for the proposed 180 homes, both flats and houses, which are contrary to the Local Development Plan;

    5. the hotel, situated on the outskirts of the city rather in the centre, which is contrary to policies in the Local Development Plan 2019 [LDP2];

    6. the crematorium, for which no significant demand is established, and which is unsuitably located;

    7. the increase in commercial operations, which will adversely affect other businesses, and are contrary to Town Centre First Policy and which will result in loss of jobs elsewhere;

    8. the lack of any published consideration of alternative solutions in the Club’s existing site, or ground sharing at Tannadice;

    9. the additional environmental pollution and carbon emissions, both in the construction and the subsequent use of the development;

    10. the poor design of many aspects of buildings, especially the stadium itself, open areas, housing and access arrangements;

    11. the area not being suitably developed as a 20-minute neighbourhood;

    12. the encroaching on to green, public open spaces which have for decades been set aside for public enjoyment, and the use of which is enshrined in legislation

    13. the consequential destruction of trees, flora, open land, and visual amenity, which provide for the well-being of park and tourist visitors; 14. the insufficient ambition in the proposed energy uses, though some aspects are commendable; and 15. the many planning matters which contravene (despite assertions to the contrary by the applicants) many of the national and local policies and guidelines, such as the recent National Planning Framework [NPF4], LDP2, Town Centre First Policy, and Active Travel guidelines.

    Just reading that Birmingham city intend to build a new stadium.  They have secured a  government grant of about £17m to help clean up the site through the levelling-up fund.  The city council will inject a further £1.9m as a condition of receiving the money.

    I assume the condition of the site and the number of new jobs that will be created has had a significant bearing on such funding being granted.

    I’m not suggesting Dundee will receive any similar financial assistance.  Just thought it was worthy of mention for anyone not aware / interested.

    Have we tried contacting Birmingham City Council regarding funding?

    Hope it's off just to see every single Rainjurs fans head explode in to tiny pieces. Honestly the presence of the Peepul on every social media outlet when they post about Dundee is hilarious and pathetic all at the same time. They have to always feel attacked or like something is against them. 

     

    If someone could please post that Rangers fanny riding a horse I'd be eternally grateful.

    Our record at home to St.Johnstone is absolutely shocking. 

    Couldn’t give a f**k what happens next week. We’ll be in the bottom 6 regardless. Don’t see us beating Motherwell and even if we do, Dundee will end up beating Aberdeen anyway. 
     

    Roll on the 14th of June. 

    Let's bottle it together eh!?
