I can understand why Dundee fans are so obsessed with this considering that there is likely be more 'DAB's' around in the future to put up with and probably pissed off at their own club's incomptetence at not offering a similar scheme. Agreed. It’s a no brainer and we should be offering tickets out to children like confetti. I think we’re seeing the fruition of that for utd now. Coupled with us being pish for the last few decades. Really need to invest in youth. Every club in Scotland bar a few have thousands of empty seats. Fill them with kids for free. The reality is that the seats remain empty and kids who you can entice with free tickets won’t be attending anyway. It just makes perfect business sense. It’s win-win, absolutely nothing to lose as far as I can see. Edited July 22 by Liam899 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty good for football in the city too! To be fair I'm getting to the age where most things were better in the past. In football chat, I'm looking forward to the derby, a big crowd for first game of the season, just wish it was 3pm on a Saturday. I'm hoping our season replicates last year in that we were poor in the League Cup but we're at it, mostly, once the league started. Hopefully a couple of the rumoured signings are in place in plenty of time for the derby. Who knows what Sunday will bring, I want a win for United of course, but would be happy enough with a draw. for a good game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we had a great side in the mid 80's as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 10 years before the war Dundee's lowest average crowd was 5,450. Next worst was 5,764. For the remaining 8 years they averaged over 11K twice, 10K three times, 9K twice and 8K once. As far as figures just after the war, the first season Dundee were in action (in the B Division) they averaged 17,436. This was followed by average gates in the next 2 seasons of 23,359 then 30,067 when they finished runners up to Rangers DAB in talking pish shock!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 So the chat about Dundee fans only getting 1500 tickets was pish then, given they've got both Jerry Kerr and Fair Play stands reserved. Albeit they may only sell around 1500 tickets anyway since they're unhappy about the price, so might be more home tickets up for grabs later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gus Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 This attendance talk really is the epitome of the bald men and comb analogy. One thing I do know is that the more vocal DABs on here generally go missing like a Lancashire teenager attending a rave in Tenerife when things get tough. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
