Explain that to me, I was living on the west coast for a long time and heard all these stories about racism surrounding whites bar, was there really an incident ?

I've never heard of any incidents! I just humorously thought that is why the pub is called Whites.

Then again if it is a racist bigoted boozer it gives big mouth somewhere to feel at home after a long day trolling emoji12.pngemoji38.pngemoji23.pngemoji13.pngemoji28.pngemoji16.png

It's alright actually! He wouldn't last 5 minutes in there.

I'll just travel around on trains getting pished every Saturday but i wont have a football match to ruin it.

One of my mates does that already.   He reckons being  a ticket inspector is one of the best jobs he’s ever had.

The idea of a shared stadium is an interesting one. If we were to share stadiums now, as much as it pains me to say it, Tannadice would be the natural choice because it's bigger and is more modern than either the Derry and Main Stand are. That'd destroy my soul.

United have told Dundee they don't want to share our new stadium, but once it's been built then that might change. At that point though, you'd have to imagine the stadium would be decked out in Dundee colours and thus make United fans feel like the inferior lodger. It'd have to be a joint venture or I couldn't see United (Or Dundee if the positions were switched) even being happy with that.

Are there any more recent plans or drawings of the proposed new stadium? I've only ever seen that early plan view of the whole development, with what looks like a Livi-style ground.

I wouldn't be against groundsharing in the future but hopefully not somewhere that looks like Broadwood. They know how to make decent wee stadiums in Norway for sensible money, like Molde's 12k seater which was apparently around £20 million.

That's a cracking wee stadium. A smaller version of the one in Oslo where I saw Scotland get scudded 4-0 with the Caldwell brothers in central defence. Ulleval stadium or something.

If United were to move I would hope it is better than that awful Maureen effort in Paisley. Livingston's is a step up.

These new stadium plans rarely materialise. I think the Dees will still be at Dens in 10 years time. I would be a little sad to see them playing in a soulless flatpack stadium on the outskirts of Dundee to be honest.

Our stadium fits our needs there is a creible plan to fill in two corners which will give the stadium a much better look it is going to happen. Livingstone is a nice stadium but a bit like Kilmarnock way too big for their needs like the fake Saints also. The question I would ask is who is paying for the new stadium with an out lay of over 12 million how is it expected to recoup the cash not saying it won' happen but this is the age where banks keep well away from football investment.

Are you referring to Dundee's new stadium? We have Billionaire American owners who specialise in property. The stadium won't just be a stadium, they plan on building a training complex, a crematorium, an extension onto Dundee ice arena, hotels, a housing development consisting of 70 flats and 140 houses, a gym, a creche, a curling rink and 1000 parking spaces.

It's all part of the one model - the stadium is just a front for them expanding into the local area.
