He's a weapon that boy. Mind you, if they had another club, also owned by US soccer-ball businessmen, with an aging dump of a ground and a horrific wages to turnover ratio nearby...

Quite a few Dundee supporters I know are 100% sure that’s on the agenda for both owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also said the football stadium element is £40m. No way they have anywhere near the funding for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they'll get a surprise at the reaction when they eventually do try this, however.

Fort Vallance Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Just seen on local news that Dundee are moving all operations out of Dens and moving in with / renting Dundee & Angus College on their campus. All marketing, ticketing, offices and backroom all moving out. It seems like they're also getting the use of the training pitches. Basically means that Dens will be completely empty between matches. Sign of things to come or just can't afford the upkeep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portable Badger Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 BBC Dundee Football Club have moved their non-match-day operations to Dundee and Angus College's Gardyne Campus in a move being described as "transformational" for both parties. Management and players are among those moving out of their Dens Park stadium. The Scottish Championship club and their community trust will make an investment in the college's outdoor facilities, including football pitches. Dundee managing director John Nelms said it will bring "overall savings". "For decades, the players have travelled away from the base at Dens Park each day to attend training, but with the new facility, we will have pitches on-site along with use of the gym, swimming pool, indoor halls, tactical and analysis room and much more to give the coaches and players the best possible chance to achieve our on-the-park goals," he said. "This partnership is a win-win for both parties in numerous ways, especially for the students, who will have access to learning opportunities within coursework relevant to the operations of a professional football club." The club's youth academy, their Dee Promotions marketing arm and community trust staff will also be housed at the campus, although Dundee Direct, the club shop, will remain at Dens Park along with the ticketing office. College principal Simon Hewitt described it as "an incredibly exciting partnership" that will bring "elite-level sports teaching facilities" to the college. Dundee will return to Scotland's second tier next season after relegation from the Premiership - and under new management after Gary Bowyer replaced the sacked Mark McGhee.
