The Master Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 1 minute ago, Pens_Dark said: Wait until they find out we borrowed Celtics covers for the pitch... Oh they know. Yes, I couldn’t resist dropping in on Sevco Media. Which if anything has made me feel irrationally irritated by the person who thinks we can’t use Tannadice because “VAR cameras” are installed in grounds at the start of the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Is Dens not at the top of a big hill, should the water not just run away, I think this is deliberate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Quote Further Pitch Update 4/4/24 – 4.30pm Ahead of Saturday’s cinch Premiership fixture against Motherwell at The Scot Foam Stadium, Dundee Football Club can confirm that the pitch is playable. A category one referee inspected the pitch on Thursday afternoon and stated the pitch was playable at the time of inspection. This is the result of the hard work put in from the club staff and a range of contractors. https://dundeefc.co.uk/news/further-pitch-update-4-4-24-4-30pm/ I'm going to start calling Dens "The Scot Foam Stadium" out of spite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it goes to Tannadice then the ref can just go out that tunnel between the main stand & the Fair play, run up the road to check the monitor at Dens. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 4 hours ago, The Master said: Presumably we need a stadium that’s VAR-ready, which makes McDiarmid the only realistic option. (Tannadice will likely have legacy infrastructure, but won’t have the pitchside monitor which almost certainly can’t be installed at such short notice). While you're right that it makes sense to go to the closest alternative that's already fully set up for it, would installing the pitchside monitor at Tannadice really be a dealbreaker had McDiarmid been unavailable? They installed the full infrastructure at Firhill last season between the second leg of the playoff semi-final and the first leg of the final, admittedly that gave them four days rather than one or two but you'd think that would be doable if it had been necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Dundee know fine the forecast is terrible from tonight through to Saturday. All this statement bollocks today is simply so they can say they tried (ie it was playable on Thursday which is utterly moot when the game is 2 days later) when the inevitable cancellation is made on match day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it would be a factor in the compromise for Dundee, but having to move the game to your city rivals is probably bad enough, but if the arguments previously were the localised weather, moving it a couple of hundred yards up the road undermines that argument and spfl would level (rightly) the argument that Dundee haven't invested enough on the pitch. Moving the game(s) to Perth would at least given them the 'out' that Dundee has had worse weather. FWIW, I think both games will be at the Scot foam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better the condition of the pitch means the higher chance Saturdays game goes ahead which in turn means a higher chance Wednesdays game goes ahead.

Ludo*1 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Dens has been called the Scot Foam for about a year now. Our 4 floodlights have giant signs stating this as well. Sounds like it's the easiest money we've ever made if the majority of you are only finding this out now. It was the Kilmac Stadium for about 3 year as well FYI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't win - advise of pitch inspections on game day and Sevco say it's too late, advise a couple of days early and Billy Jean King says it's too early. Some people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it can be - as it was installed at Thistle very quickly for the Playoff last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I'd rather forfeit the 3 points than borrow the sticklebrick from the dabs. I doubt Nelms would even risk the backlash by considering it tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Out of interest, what was the reaction when we used Tannadice when building the BC and BS against Rangers? I was around for it but can't remember if people were furious or what. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sent this on to the relevant people and I have received word that when - not if - the game goes ahead on Scotfoam Sehturday, they expect an apology. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
