Ludo*1 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 2 hours ago, craigkillie said: There were over 25,000 at the League Cup semi-final at Hampden - the only time the Dundee derby got a crowd like that in the last 70 years was back in 1983, and even then that was more about United being able to win the league than it was about it being a derby. Even a Scottish Cup semi in 1989 only got 13,300 and the League Cup final in 1980 only got 24,500. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've not even mentioned the fact that the League Cup final was held at Dens as opposed to Hampden, and was filled nearly to the same attendance as your SF. You've got a good derby and I'm very excited to watch it on Friday nights, but don't delude yourself here. Listen, I'm just looking at the facts, and the facts are very clear. As you said yourself, an Ayrshire derby in Glasgow attracted a bigger crowd than a Dundee derby in your own city. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If either Celtic or Ayr had got to the final it would've been p!ayed at Hampden. The fact that the Scottish Cup semi was in 1987 makes it even worse. Dundee Utd were still a top side in those days, with Dundee comfortably mid table. Anyway, derby w**k thread for this pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even going to be able to buy it before the 1st game of the season is a shitshow To be fair it has happened before to us iirc, did we not play a friendly in either the previous seasons strips or t shirts under Reid or Roberts? It is worth noting there is still a massive backlog in supply chains caused by the Suez canal being blocked and ships either waiting it out or needing to take the long way round. So there is a very real chance our delay has been caused by this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 See West Ham are in Scotland for pre-season. Maybe Hopkin is pals with Moyes. Maybe he could get his brother on the phone as well… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they can leave behind the next Jude Bellingham for us too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could pick up a few of their youngsters along with Burnley's! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
