Dundee v Whoever They're Playing This Weekend (Or maybe that should the the other way round)

Hibs wade in...

 

HIBS have raised strong concerns with the SPFL after the latest Dundee vs Rangers postponement, according to a report.

It isn't just the Ibrox men who are massively inconvenienced by the Dens Park side's consistent inability to host matches at the ScotFoam Stadium.

Now the Edinburgh Evening News claims that the Easter Road side - who face fellow top six chasers Motherwell this Saturday - feel that the Dens Park men have gained a sporting advantage into the bargain.

Dundee are in the box seat in the battle for the final top six spot

 

Hibs can kindly f**k off.

Could be on the Astro at Riverside tbf 

If the grass at riverside is playabale that’s incredible tbh. The amount of water that came over the wall at the airport as a result of the incredibly high tide combined with the wind literally sloshing it over was unbelievable on Sunday and even yesterday there were big parts of it still under water. Riverside Drive was partly flooded as well when the tide was up the last couple of days, and that’s before you add todays rain on top.

An awful lot of Dundee fans simply circling the wagons and letting their club destroy their stadium, simply because they can't criticise their own club.

f**k me - you really are trying too hard

Tannadice has hosted football games before and they could make it work. It would have required Dundee to do a tiny bit of advance planning, but this should have been a very straightforward solution.

If there are paper tickets, then there is no difference, and since Tannadice is a bigger stadium there would be no issue with space. If Dundee have to pay some extra people to do this, then so be it. If there are digital tickets, then one of the advantages of such a system should be that it is easy enough to assign a new QR code or barcode to each attendee which would work in the system at Tannadice.

Transporting food and drinks would be fine given the distance. The police would have to waddle a few hundred metres down the street, I'm sure they'd cope. If hospitality was such an enormous issue they could literally host it at Dens and then just walk down the street for the game.

Dundee United would obviously be paid for hiring out their ground, but these sort of arrangements are hardly unique. If Dundee fans "made a mess" of their ground then Dundee would be paying to fix it.

Tannadice doesn't have VAR.

Anyone got any mair decent burn chat? 

McDiarmid Park has a burn running under it too.

Why is every Scottish football ground built on top of a burn?

Quite often pre-Christian religious sites are built on high mounds beside burns and later become adopted as Christian sites and become shire and county boundaries.

For example Invergowrie, Meigle and Coupar Angus all have important religious centres which sit on burns that used to mark the extent of the Pictish kingdoms of Fotla and Circind and are still the boundary between Perthshire and Angus today.

Worth mentioning that story is from the Record. So "Hibs" is probably "Hibs supporting fan on Twitter".

Or Keith Jackson in a green jumper.

Great point though.

Well, it’s still not a prerequisite for VAR. 

Tannadice already has the fixed cabling required by QTV, so they’d just do the same rig and de-rig they do every week at the other grounds.
