Boxing at Tannadice
Genuinely never knew this till tonight.
"On 1 January 1941, during a season when Dundee United were inactive due to the Second World War, a boxing match was staged at Tannadice. Local boxer Jim Brady defeated Kid Tanner of British Guiana to win the British Empire bantamweight title in front of 3,500 spectators"
I wonder if we will ever see another Boxing and/or Sporting/Entertainment event held at our ground.
The Falkirk Stadium for example has held Elton John concerts in recent times.
Would our lack of parking facilities in and around the ground be the main problem against such events ever happening ?

Fantastic story, tek.
We were also the first team in the city (and perhaps Scotland) to introduce greyhound racing to the ground on the Saturday when we were away.
