Vernon gilmore Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 It’s often family related, but definitely not which part of the city you live , not at tall like Edinburgh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it basically who your dad/mum roots for, or is there a geographical boundary as I'm under the impression with Hearts/Hibs? 90% of the DAB's come from east Angus. Thank you. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own wee street has 2 Dee families and 3 United ones. I'd say it's usually family-oriented, but even that could be all over the place. My dad was the only Dundee fan in his family growing up in the 70s and 80s, with three of his siblings being Arabs and one being a Celtic fan . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad was a big rugby man but me and my brother would nip his head about going to games at Dens or tannadice so he'd grudgingly take us. United were a real force in Scotland and in Europe at the time (mid 80s) and I actually went to way more United games than Dundee ones as a child. Once I'd left school and could afford to attend football myself I went with my brother and his mate who was a die hard Dee so I never really found my true colours till then. Aged about 16/17. Could just have easily become a DAB as most of my mates supported United. A lucky break I'd say. In most cases though kids are brought up to back either side by their fathers.

The Derry Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 My Dad was a United fan and also a big, bald, fat doofus. I wanted something better for myself. I chose wisely. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girth Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I actually went to a United game first when I lived in Dundee. It all felt a bit a bit wishy washy and touristy. I tried Dens and noticed it was full of miserable old b*****ds and felt at home immediately. Thank you. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad and older brother were big Dundee fans, so it was always going to be the case with me. Growing up in Aberdeen and Oban made it quite the novelty for some, as I was the only Dundee fan folk in my age group knew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
