Would still guess away end is about 3000. Be surprised if it come close to selling out. Prepared to be surprised. Looks like the away end will sell out tomorrow or at worst Thursday. Shame The Derry hasn't offered to assault anyone yet. It's our lucky omen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledLichtie Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) I didn't realise how big a game this was going to be, but I read that aye, Dundee have sold 2,000 tickets. If this continues, they could not only outnumber the home fans, but if the home fans turn out for this home derby game, we could have 4,000/5,000 at Gayfield for a run of the mill league game. Absolutely unthinkable a few years ago. Sure, for a cup game against one of the OF, but never for anything else.

(40 several years of 'consistently inconsistent' Dees make me nervous) How many times over the years have we been on a decent run and we take a big crowd to a ‘big game’, only to make a complete c**t of it ? I’ve lost count This must be the game that the team delight the ‘big travelling support’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f_c_dundee Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I thought we'd manage to make a bit of a c**t of it v Hamilton o Saturday, such is my confidence, so that was a pleasant surprise at least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Arbroath have ticket prices 100% correct and spot on. Adult and 2 kids for £25. Bravo. Only terrace tickets left. Really looking forward to this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Play Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Main Stand appears to be sold out. Just purchased 3 tickets for £46.00. Very reasonable price. Now, let’s put this new hip of mine to the test and see if I can still stand for 90 minutes of football. Thank you Arbroath. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chateau Lafite Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Tickets bought for Saturday. I dont mind Arbroath at all and over the past few seasons they have been difficult to beat, and indeed scored four at Dens to win earlier this season. I’m hoping that the Dee overcome some bad memories that I have from watching them at Gayfield in the seventies: the first horror, although it was a brilliant goal, was Dundee legend Andy Penman score direct from a corner- one of very few times I’ve seen that; and secondly a stunning own goal from Jocky Scott- surely his only one. So let’s just have a first class winning no nonsense performance against a vastly improved and improving home side please. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Thought this was looking like a free hit but Hamilton's result last night now means we have to try and pick something up here. Huge game for both teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge game for both teams. Probably better all round if you let us win - the league will be much harder for you if both Dundee and Utd are in it.

Pens_Dark Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Almost embarrassingly this is my first visit to Gayfield. I have a lot of time for Arbroath, well run club that are hard to beat and will fucking punish you if you don't match their work rate. They are also a prime example of a club that are a 20 odd minute drive away that aren't obsessed with hating Dundee unlike those St J weirdos. All that said, lie down for us on Saturday please xxx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I think Arbroath will be ready and well up for this match - but I'd take a 1-1 draw if it's on offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
