Dee Man Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Apparently everything has been arranged, agreed and permission granted with the exception of the MLS and CONCACAF. I can see me sacrificing a trip home to see the family next year to go to see the first stage in Nelmsy's plan for world domination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDCCCXCIII Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'm not really sure what to think. It's another example of football being taken away from the core supporters- literally. I hope the viability of this experiment isn't hinging on an expected attendance. It's not as if the locals don't get to see 'soccer' played there and the standard is usually significantly higher involving teams with greater profiles. Even then they can't fill the ground. This could turn out to be a massive egg on puss moment. That said, I'm curious to see how this will play out. Maybe Nelmsy will embark on a stellar marketing campaign and we'll break our attendance record. However maybe he'll flop and we'll only manage to break United's...

Widge Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 £400,000. That's one Stevie May. Of course Dundee should be moving one game for that figure. Actually it's half a Stevie May, but your point is perfectly valid. It's a large sum for just one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkinFighter Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I think it's an interesting idea, 400k is big money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.T Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 It's just as well its Dundee and Celtic playing this game, as it seems to only be the majority of their fans that think it's a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Keyes and Nelms get us established as a global brand these jealous diddies will be queuing up at the door for an overseas fixture for a piece of The Dark Blue Pound.

There will be a statue of Kane Hemmings doing his goggle celebration on top of those steps in Philadelphia after this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was Rangers v Motherwell in Toronto pretty sure a large portion of their fans would be happy with it and us and Celtic fans would be slating it. That's just how fitba fans think.

DA Baracus Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 There are other concerns about this game being played in Philadelphia. Is it in the West of the city? Because I hear there's been some trouble there lately. Seemingly there are a couple up of guys up to no good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakamura Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Can you guys link the announcement or article or whatever that re-ignited this yesterday? Or was this on TV? Obviously there's like 50 people discussing it so I missed some announcement or report, but man, this whole idea sounds so crazy that I want to read it myself.

punk_dfc Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'm for it. If it doesn't work, then so be it. At least Dundee have tried something different. Worst case, I expect it will bring in some money. It won't bring in any new fans for Dundee though. Claims that it will are off the mark. The majority of fans there will be curious neutrals and Celtic fans. Nobody enjoys Celtic at Dens anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Actually it's half a Stevie May, but your point is perfectly valid. It's a large sum for just one game. The fee was never confirmed. It suited both parties to big the figure up. Given what a spectacular flop Stevie has been, and no add ons achieved 400k is probably optimistic. In general I'm not really in favour of this USA lark but IF we did make 400k out of it it's worth a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I loike it. Who really enjoys home matches v Celtic anyway? I reckon it's generally amongst the lowest turn out of home fans for St Johnstone over a season, and would imagine it's the same at most clubs. Chance to see your team play a competitive game in the USA probably only once in your lifetime.. I'd be tempted. It might not increase the number of Dundee fans, but you can't argue it will raise the profile of the club; in Scotland and internationally. It will probably help attract sponsors as well. If season ticket holders are okay with it I think why not give it a whirl, nothing to lose. All we ever read about on P&B is how poorly marketed our game is, especially compared to down south, and at last someone's doing something a bit different which no other club in Europe have done .. yet. It's good that our league will be involved in something new ahead of other leagues/ countries. I'd love to see a St Johnstone v Killie derby match in the desert dome in Las Vegas, what an away trip that would be... Make it happen Steve.

Griff Sheridan Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'd be happy for our home games against either of the bigot brothers to take place as far away from Scotland as possible. Fiji, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it has been improving in recent years, the standard of football in MLS is fucking pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
