Or something like that. Thanks. It’s not a massive issue for someone who really wants to go to the game. I’ll get a ticket this week and get the train up, but I’d be amazed if that situation hasn’t affected the overall away supports at Dens this season. If you’re someone who is on the fence about going, the thought of having to buy a ticket and get it posted out to your home alongside it being the most expensive day out in the league is probably enough to make you say, “I won’t bother this week”. I understand the conjecture about it being easy enough to do - it is not a massive problem - but it’s extra steps that no other club makes you do and folk will ultimately use that as an excuse not to go who would quite happily attend other away days. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent, all the better for us. The smaller the away support the better. Not as if we expect anything else in this league. At no point in reading that did I give the singlest of shits and pretty sure the majority will be the same. Enjoy your day out. Thank You. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pens_Dark Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Like most Dundee fans I have no idea what to expect from us here. I want to believe that the determination we showed to get a win from 2-0 down last Satuday is a turning point for us but that depends on whether Bowyer has realised that Grayson and Mcghee in the middle doesn't work. I'm going to go for a tight 2-1 win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem a bit mad. Most clubs have managed to adapt to electronic ticketing so you would think Dundee could manage it. Not sure what ‘infrastructure’ is preventing them from doing this. Either way, I’ll not be attending. Don’t even have the birthday party excuse. I just can’t be arsed. Thank you.

Raith Against The Machine Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 What a weirdly impassioned defence of some sub-standard admin procedures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Is Eric Drysdale not involved with admin at some capacity at Dundee? In that case I'm, if anything, surprised it isn't more complex. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the question and response from John Nelms to Dundee fans back in March - Ticketing is very dated with problems purchasing tickets, are any plans in place to update to a modern system. JN - We actually have the most up-to-date system but we are limited by the lack of WIFI in the stadium and there will not be an upgrade to the current system whilst we remain at Dens Park. Fully functioning ticketing systems will be part of the move to the new stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's particularly ridiculous as an online ticketing system does not in any way hinge on infrastructure, and since the club has moved its base of operations to Gardyne Campus instead of Dens takes away the old WiFi issue they would spout. 22 minutes ago, K.T said: JN - We actually have the most up-to-date system but we are limited by the lack of WIFI in the stadium and there will not be an upgrade to the current system whilst we remain at Dens Park.

It's probably their own bizarre way of trying to gaslight uncertain folk into backing the stadium by claiming it's only viable there, which is nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakngravy Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Yes Calderon Fat Eric does have his sticky fingers in at Dens Park, if in doubt count the crowd one of his famous ways from way back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Raith squad show the same levels of passion, determination and enthusiasm at Dens on Saturday. Should be a more comfortable win than I already expect.
