Dirty Arab 83 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 We’re looking at a holiday/retirement place that’s only 5 hours on the train to Barcelona. That’s a journey I could see me doing every second week.

Dirty Arab 83 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I like the idea of becoming a footballing nomad and just taking in different grounds with no allegiances. Sounds like a good way to enjoy football minus the stress. The Mrs and I enjoy going to random games in England if we're away for a weekend, and it's always interesting just taking in the atmosphere etc regardless of the result or standard of football on show. I suppose it means missing out on the (very) occasional good times though. Otherwise East Fife can count on another new fan after our inexorable slide into oblivion is complete. You and me both matey.......from the Terrors to East Fife, Social climbers or what [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broomhill Ultra Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 What is everyone thinking? After the merger it will be the Bankies for me, I’d feel no allegiance to a super team. Might go see them at Firhill for old times sake. [emoji25] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacArab Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I have to say that I don’t know what I’d do if we were to merge with the wee team. The only way I could see myself supporting the new team would be if we reformed under the new name of Dundee United FC, played in T&B and had our home games at Tannadice. I think there is a lot of catastrophisation afoot as well as some mischief making on all sides about the fate of professional football in Dundee, and this is always going to happen when there is no actual football being played, so nothing else to talk/moan about. Also, there are some people who don’t like us very much, who are always going to have fun at our expense, which is fair enough. Despite how utter dugshite we have been playing, looking forward to getting back to Tannadice on a regular basis. Feels like I haven’t been in months.

Alert Mongoose Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I wouldn't support a merged team. Then after about a year I would start missing Saturday afternoons on the bevvy at a game and would end up going along. Pointless suggestion though as any merged team would still be bottom six fodder.

Ludo*1 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 If Dundee died or we merged with you lot, I certainly wouldn't support the new entity. I'd be in a weird position of being able to 'choose' who I supported. If I had any sense about me, I'd just become a glory hunter. Glory hunting in Scotland means lending your support to one of the bigot brothers though so I'd ultimately end up plumping for Arbroath or Forfar and subjecting myself to more misery. Either that or I'd just pack it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I'd support a newco and pretend it was the same club, all the while blaming everyone else for the club's demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge of allan bairn Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I absolutely don't get why you wouldn't support a merged dundee side. sell both old dated stadiums in city centre get one new 20000 spanking new stadium merge training facilities staff teams etc and challenge the top teams in Scotland. as a falkirk fan we lost brockville which everyone was upset about at the time however things move on. the new stadium as get a great view and have better facilities. I would have had no problem merging with stenhousemuir or east stirling if they brought a stadium sale to the deal and their few hundred fans even if it meant a name change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
