Chateau Lafite Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 An article in yesterday's Guardian that prompts delicous memories of Caniggia, Ravenelli, Ketsabaia et al, yet leaves a sour taste in the mouth with the shame of administration. https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/jan/18/the-forgotten-story-of-when-diego-maradona-signed-for-dundee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbycoxblue Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 What’s the latest with the new stadium? Are there still access issues? I see that plans now include a new crematorium! I’m tempted to make a witty remark but a) I am not witty and b) it’s probably something that would benefit the city. You should just be grateful that youve nearly made it through another winter [emoji6] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit strange that no one has answered my question though. Given the amount that all you Funsters seem to know about what's happening at United I thought you'd have some indication as to how the stadium plans for your own club were developing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial consultation stage has closed and they are timetabled to submit a formal planning application sometime between now and the next couple of months. Hotel rights apparently been discussed with a chain who are interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.T Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I thought the access was the big stumbling block. Have a look over this to kickstart your Friday night, GD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry94 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Just now, Granny Danger said: I thought the access was the big stumbling block. I've heard rumours of proposals for various modifications and at the consultation event, they had some drawings which showed a few changes (traffic lights, extra pedestrian access, overpass etc - the pedestrian drawing is on the image above). You may well have heard something I haven't but I'm not aware of anything major right now, there was a bit of questioning about access when the project was announced but that was just a few people curious about how it would work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you were months behind with your information renders it worthless. If you’re going to post on the big team’s thread please keep up to date.

Dee Bliss Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) 55 minutes ago, Granny Danger said: I thought the access was the big stumbling block. New access routes directly from the kingsway just a couple of hundred yards up the road from the BP garage. New road layout required for the exit at the bottom of the timex brae. Traffic lights instead of the current roundabout. Only stumbling block is apparently 3 trees that Dundee would prefer down. These can be left standing if required because they lie between where the stadium is planned to go and the crematorium. Upmarket hotel chain pretty much signed up for the 100 room hotel and Tesco metro taking 1 of the shopping outlets available.

Dee Bliss Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Good interview by our manager on the stv news tonight. Saying there’s been plenty of interest in Hendry but no bids that make us sit up and take notice. Said we are trying to build the club and the players are aware that we aren’t just about to let them walk out the door unless there’s a good offer placed for them. Let’s hope Keyes and Nelms are on the same wavelength. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 DAB's at Dens again would be good if we progressed. Then we can dish out more punishment. Thank you. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moo Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Who's the hotel chain or rumoured hotel chain likely to be at the new stadium? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned I’d noticed in the plans there was a hotel and asked what size in terms of rooms it was. The reply was just over 100 beds (iirc) and that there was a deal pretty much done with an upmarket hotel chain. I never asked who the hotel group was, as I was more interested where the Craig Wighton statue was going. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
