jamamafegan Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 We could go all out Boca Juniors if we stayed at Dens... That’s awesome. It’s definitely achievable to use the space available if the designers used a little imagination. Get some boxes in and there’s your epic hospitality, if the games shite then the prawn sandwich eaters can instead enjoy commanding views of the City of Discovery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's listed but it's an Archibald Leitch stand, the top architect in the day, also did Ibrox and Goodison, plenty of others. It's proper architecture, not like the shite knocked up at the Fruitbowl, or the soulless concrete misery at Perth. Thank you. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Play Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 54 minutes ago, Crawford said: We have new build houses/flats on the inside of old factory walls. The council are very washy with the whole listed building thing. Flashback to when they told someone to rip down a giant old mill building and then got angry when they actually did it. Edit - the proposed site also has the old NCR building on it which is listed. Guessing handshakes will happen somewhere regarding that too. I think it’s listed due to there being McIntosh Patrick murals on the interior walls, as opposed to the building itself being of architectural significance. From what I’ve heard, the murals have deteriorated significantly over the years to the point they are barely recognisable as being the work of McIntosh Patrick. I understand that would assist any application to de-list the building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that old bit of the factory was listed because there was a mural in it at some point* Stuff like the mill conversions or Robertson's building in town are generally ok because its the facade thats seen as important, the interior is just an empty space with no historic features. Demolition or alteration of a listed building isn't that uncommon if its not deemed unique and important enough to keep and can't be converted like the mills * See shadows post for more detail Edited May 27, 2022 by locheedee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsjfc Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Assume the holding company is owned by the Americans and will benefit them rather than the club? Or will dundee get some of the income surrounding area gives and from the stadiums non-match day revenue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I've actually changed my mind and I agree with you. I think I've been wow'd, duped if you will, by the lovely stadium graphic they have produced. If we are being honest, it's another legoland stadium. I did post numerous examples a couple of months back in the Dundee thread of stadiums from across Europe around the 15k capacity mark which are oozing character. I can't be arsed looking them out just now (maybe later) but they were basically stadiums that had interesting designs to them i.e different sized stands, two tiered stands, some corners filled in, standing areas etc. I would like to see Dundee or Aberdeen pursue options like this instead of going for a generic 4 stand or single tiered bowl design.100% a single tier fully enclosed arena. None of this 4 stand stadium with no atmosphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition the Logie Club is only a further 100 yards away and I can see both being busy on match days as Nou Campy is a 15 minute stroll away. The Kettledrum on South Road is another within 15 minutes walk from Campy I know you boys like me but calling a bar after me is way too much, tears of gratitude here in the croft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
