Obviously I've not seen many of your games. Tbf we're due by the law of averages at least one January window where we don't bring in a bunch of absolute haddies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC we had one of those in 2015. We didn't just bring in a bunch of haddies, we sold our best two players as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loemba90 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Mate at the meeting tonight says it was all positive. Neilson was also there.

stumigoo Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Mate at the meeting tonight says it was all positive. Neilson was also there. Merger and groundshare both emphatically shot down.Everyone at the meeting was told to keep things under wraps until their press day tomorrow to give them a chance to say things directly so glad to see that lasted long!What I will say is that the meeting was indeed very positive and the entire new regime was there including Sporting Director, Managing Director and Neilson. If anything that was said tonight gets missed tomorrow at the press conference I can fill in the blanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question. There must be figures out there somewhere for a rough idea. Where would we get the cash from? So wed end up having a 100 year lease with either the council or a private company and therefor just be tenants. So any events happening wouldnt raise a penny for us. So wheres the benefit? Id imagine any new stadium would be about the same capacity as Tannadice and Dens or smaller. Say 12000ish. Neither team can fill what they have now and probably only ever do during derbies and OF games. It would likely be a boring, soulless generi-kit style stadium as that would keep the cost down. Would more likely be at the Camperdown site or even further outside the centre. Away from pubs and all that stuff and possibly be more difficult for some folk to get to. Im not really in favour of a new stadium as i quite like Tannadice. Dosent seem much wrong with it from what i see and its got a bit of character imo. A ground share would be coming more from that lot accross the road as that thing is falling down as we speak. So feck them.

I guess without further investigation/knowing the terms available it is impossible to really say whether it is a positive or negative. However, in my eyes, nothing should be left off the table and I am a little disappointed if the Chairman would not want to even investigate the possibility of a groundshare. 16 minutes ago, mishtergrolsch said: How much does it cost for the upkeep of Tannadice compared to what it would cost for a new stadium?

Could Tannadice not be upgraded? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
