Don't normally feel this but does it matter what team /formation TC puts out?

The gulf between the two teams is back to what it was about 20yrs ago when The old Rangers won 6-1 at Tannadice🙈

Possibly the worst fixture for TCs first home match. Also many fans first game back for 18mths.

As a season ticket holder who has not yet got off his arse to try and get a ticket does this mean I will not be at the game.

I'm sure I heard a statement from the club saying all season ticket holders would get in.

Is it a secret what Saturdays capacity is?

Ask big Tone - he's in charge. I'd use the head in sand jibe again but that would be cruel. At least this way you don't get to see how mince we are and can keep going with the 'nothing to see here' diatribe.

More innacurate info from yourself I've never said there is nothing to see I said the team as it stands is only going in one direction. I said TC will be removed if he does not get results.
I just don't have any real interest in TA or behind the scenes at Tannadice.
I'm only interested in the team on the park.
I'm a supporter not a forensic accountant or private detective.

I get that - nothing wrong with it. However if we continue with the Asghar Project my fear is you won't have a team on the park to be interested in. Surely that does then prick your attention? We are burning so much cash (with very little tangible in return (unlike the ET era)) that if Mr Ogren decides enough is enough then we are well and truly screwed. Relegation cannot happen. Mr Ogren is wealthy, but I don't think he has pockets as deep as the boy at Ross County - he's no billionaire. I'd like to think that I'm worrying over nothing, but I'm not. We are going in the wrong direction and that could cost us our club.

It's the narrative that it's the Ashgar project that I find a bit strange
Are you and others suggesting that MO is over in America blissfully unaware what TA is doing with his money?
If MO thought TA was taking him for a ride he would be removed.
It's MO money that's at stake here
This is this the MO project.

That could indeed be right. I just hold the view that MO is unlikely to be wilfully pissing his money down the drain and that someone (guess who?) has sold him the idea that this can make some form of return. Perhaps someone who brokered the original deal to buy the club? I'm hoping that when MO realises he's been taken for a ride that he does remove TA and changes direction. I don't think MO was ever thinking he'd become richer backing United, but I am pretty damn sure that he didn't think he'd be putting in £350K a month on top of his original investment. MO's money is at stake, but he has put it all in as loans as far as I am aware. Debt can be called at any time. It's just as well he's a dyed in the wool Arab as otherwise he might be thinking of asset stripping to get his cash back - and I don't mean selling Shankland. It's not as if Americans don't have previous for that.

At least you've got an excuse Billy, being on a train , I just couldn't be bothered because I definitely heard TC say they would get all ST holders in.

Billy_Hainey · 03/8/2021 9:57 pm

Says it here tae m8. 4600 plus. It was on another page tae that's been ta'en doon.

I've actually got a little bit of sympathy for them on the ticket front as the whole thing is an utter shambles. As usual however the communication has been woeful and that has presumably meant more than a few season ticket holders not getting in. Putting up a message today which gave little indication that seats were running out and then the very same day confirming they had seems pretty amateur.
I think things are relaxed to 5000 from the week after so hopefully that means a seat for every season ticket holder after this game, but I sympathise with you guys frustration here.

To be fair to TC I don't think he really expects the fans to rely on what he says if the Aberdeen post match interview is anything to go by....

Admire your bottle for saying this bud, but the On-line Registration was meant to be open the night till midnight. Still days that on the Club Website.

So even if you were being "lazy", you shoulda still been able to apply for a seat ATM.

Me tae pal. When this was 1st publicised, I said to my family, that I thought this was a big ask for the Club to manage and control, 1 factor being a matter of resources. (Manpower / I.T., time span, impossible deadline). Needless to say, that logistics of this were unknown to anyone. (No had any experience of doing this before).

Take it from me m8, I spent 2/3 of my life responsible for the implementation of major IT and Logistics projects, and I knew this single task was almost impossible from the start.

Billy_Hainey · 04/8/2021 10:34 am

The Club have been allowed to allocate more seats to ST holders after yesterday's fau-pax.

As from 10am this morning.

Heres the URL if anybody's still to get tickers.

https://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/news/6936/LATEST-RANGERS-TICKETS-APPLICATION-UPDATE.html

Gaed luck lads.

lifesanocean · 04/8/2021 11:04 am

Question: If the club are having problems accomodating all the ST holders (got sympathy with them due to the horrendous logistics of it, not helped it would appear, by the amount of punters who have not heeded the clubs advice to form bubbles of between 6-15 people) why don't they open the Jim McLean Stand to let more in?

It can't be because potentially disgruntled punters will be too close to the directors box and the dugout for comfort surely???

Lilley01 · 04/8/2021 11:12 am

I would assume cost. less stands means less staff. They';ve tried to accommodate all ST holder that they've already had the money from, they won't make any money out of this game at all. Assuming that all kiosks are still shut etc.

Finn Seemann · 04/8/2021 6:41 pm

Just seen on Mad that you need to pre-book your leaving slot. After Rangers 3rd and 4th goals already very popular. Might make sense to go for 2nd just in case?

The Ross County owner isn't a billionaire, fucking heard it all now
