Or is 200k an unrealistic amount for our support to raise (club could make up the shortfall if it wasn't too much)?

I should say, assuming the club are even interested in installing safe-seating (though I can't think of a single reason they wouldn't be).

 


I doubt we would get anything near 100k starting up a page or that the club would be willing to put the rest upto 100k if not more. i think would need to start with some sort of letter to all season ticket holders with a questionaire or something then trying to get some sort of lump from sponsors or something.
Id be more than willing to pay for mine.

 
That was another idea I raised mate on the "Ground Improvements" thread awhile back.

Why not sound out a few local medium to big sized construction companies and float the idea of them doing the work at a massively reduced price (cost price if you will) in return for sponsorship for x amount of time?

Even rename the Stand after them (for a time at least).It's just a name after all.

Again, just an idea.

Yeah its a good idea imo.

You would get volunteers prepared to help take the seating out as it is now to save costs also i would imagine.
 

If ST is going to pay any attention to the people who support the club financially and vocally he needs to simply dip into his own pocket and pay for this outright.

Spencey, get him telt. He might never be forgiven by some through recent affairs but this would be a step in the right direction.

The atmosphere needs to improve. Plenty potential to harness a passion thats displaced and dispairing.

Easily fixed. Get this caper on the go without taking away from the squad!

Edit to say- this will happen in time whether funded by  fans, sponsors or funded by both.
Will be a bigger fuckyou to Stephen Thompson than not buying season tickets if we just manage this to an end result without him. Especially in a stand bearing the family name.   

If not we will fall way behind the so called fan experience if we are later than sooner.

Rumour is the club are gonna introduce safe standing to Tannadice.

 

Where are you hearing that Tek

Fucking gimmick and like buying a pair of fake tits when you desperately need a heart transplant. Madness to be spending money on that just now. Buy a decent fucking centre half and a striker, start winning some games and I'll be happy.

Just from someone with their ear to the ground mate. Has been right about a few things previously (and wrong on occasion too admittedly).

Time will tell I guess.

Correct bowers. 
I want safe standing but not right now. Not our number 1 priority.

I'd like to see the shed back to safe standing but ffs we'll have a less than half full stadium more often than not this season, no need to improve anything.

Saying that the seats in the east stand could do with a fucking wash, they are barket.

 


Noticed that when putting flags oot last week Andy fucking awful state some are in

Absolute shite.

De ja vu anybody?
