Gibby82 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yes City vs No City. "Sheep shagging b*****ds, we know you said no" should be the chant from the Derry. Though you'll all no doubt be otherwise engaged with the Teckletadger version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well talented at the singing us likes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Spark Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Any chance of line-ups from tonights Dev. Squad game? Trying to work it out from pics, but too tired/lazy and don't know enough of the youth players. Just for you: Ross County: James McLeod, Jim Fenlon, Rosario Latouchant, Jordi Balk, Tim Dressen, James Beeston, Scott Ferries, Connor Lyall, Kyle McLeod, Tony Dingwall, Steven Ross. Subs: Danny McCarthy, Steven Miller, Tom McLennan, Sam Morrison, Ross McKillop, Greg Morrison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gus Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The main letter in the Tele is the oft mooted 'why can't Dundee reopen the corner turnstiles on the junction of dens road and provost road and reintroduce a standing area at Dens blah blah some pish about regulations meaning they could'. In fact was it not our own bold tripllz opening gambit on his self perceived football wisdom not along these lines? Anyway official reply is the same thing I've explained to Derry dreamer types for ages. The costs to renovate and bring everything like the stairs etc up to standard in that corner before you consider the running cost of staff and more policing far outweigh the revenue a small number of fans who could stand there would bring in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the type who want to extend the stand all along trackside either. Sure it'd look better, but it'd dilute the Derry's atmosphere by quite a bit and would then just be people sitting in a crumbling old stand for no real reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripc0de Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Needs to be a single tier, 70 degree slope stand, running half the length of the pitch, with its middle at the half way line... rammed to the sky with Dees :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeefc1783 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Would be a waste of money at moment IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripc0de Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Nothing come of the idea to transfer the home fans in the Cox, over to the Shankly? Thought that was a good one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripc0de Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Would be a waste of money at moment IMO Yeah I was joking but think a steeply tiered, half stand, anchored at the half way line, would work at some point in the future. Definitely not now. Would give maybe 5k capacity, height and great views due to it being central. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought someone else might have done this but yeah, why not. I have Steve Martin's email address so will give him a shout. Better idea than the cardboard cut out one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why... not because it isn't a good idea...it would give Dens a much better atmosphere. The season ticket holders transferred to the Shankly might even sing :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andershen Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I do agree it would benefit the team when they came out but the interaction with away fans and the Derry is brilliant when away support is decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deegolf Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Why would the club want away fans walking through the home fans before and after the game? Then you also have the Police to convince it's a great idea, because 'the team will walk out to their own support'. A good idea that it is, I doubt it'll ever come to fruition permanently. This already happens. I was in Shed for derby, and the backing for the team was superb for 90 minutes. Dens is sometimes like a morgue for home games. Moving home fans to Shankly would help this in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby cox is too far away from either neighbouring stand and the Derry is in isolation from everything other than the often larger away support (cat A games). Can't believe I'm saying it, but tannadice is far superior for atmosphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club should consider this, as a better home atmosphere would help the team, and make for a better match day experience for the fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think away and home fans already walk through each other. At the derby there was lots of integration. It's also about linking up the SE with the Shankly and having a 5k block of home fans... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomp my root Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 This won't be popular but the logical place for the away support is the SE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
