ah-dee Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I'm struggling to accept Dundee moving stadium if honest.im starting to have the same doubts ludo but im hoping its just all the general pessimism around the club taking control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 It is going to happen whether we like it or not. Too much money to be made by Kilmac, The City council and DBPH. The houses will be owned by DBPH but outsourced to the council for guaranteed income and the council get and extension on the Ice arena and a crematorium too. A venue and more retail shops for tax. They are heavily incentivised (not a word) to push this through. On another note St Mirren have brains and are rifling Coleraine FC for their manager and it will cost them buttons. Meanwhile Dundee...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could agree to a ground share and the positives it would have for both club's but a dynamo or Dundee city football club would be a no go for me. I remember in the 60s singing a song at Dens. And the last line was we are the dens park dynamos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristov Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I remember in the 60s singing a song at Dens.

Ylf Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Regarding the new stadium. Some old guy from the pub reckons the coxy and shankly stands can be dismantled and moved to another ground? Shite or no shite?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't really imagine there will be much point though. The stands themselves are the cheap part and I'd imagine it'd be more costly to work their design round this than the material cost they'd be saving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much of an issue that'd be now they've supposedly dropped the idea of filling in the corners but the stands have been up for a while now so can't imagine they'll come apart as easily as they first intended... Saying that, I do hope they find a way to incorporate some bits of Dens into the new ground - even if it's just a few identifiable pieces for nostalgia! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep them to put in front of Jim Spence every time he visits the new stadium. He’s the most vocal about the pillars obscuring his view from the press box. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, something like them or any interesting old detail pieces as features in the entrance areas or something... + It'd probably never happen but I'd like to see the fan bricks get reused too but recycling them is likely to be way too expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see them do something decent with them and maybe donate them to Lochee United or another team in the local area. It also wouldn't fit with the design they showed off based on the Viking stadion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked when the ideas of moving came up via email and to Nelms himself when the plans where unveiled and he said the bricks would be transported from Dens. Me and the family have one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could always flog them to Falkirk to stick side-by-side and complete their ground. Or Morton to put, well, anywhere really and it would be an improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, they'll go to Morton for a couple months before deciding they're better off in Falkirk! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylf Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Good idea if lochee united got a stand. Remember a few seasons back lochee united wanted to put a small stand on the liff road side and the locals didnt want it Hope the bricks can be transported to the new ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email I sent long before the planning day reveal and the response was "should the club decide to leave Dens Park in the future the 'in with the bricks' shall be relocated to the new site". Nelms pretty much said the same thing but with a cheesy American "the bricks are important to the fans so they are important to me" or some nonsense. Fairly safe to say it will cost a bob but so will the whole project. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
