Vom Itorium Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) So, apparently it's our fault and every other club's fault in the SFL that the mighty Dundee are in the position they find themselves in and have now been docked 25 points for the privilige.The millions of fans that they seem to think they have are now planning on boycotting every other SFL club in protest to try and put pressure on Chairmen of these clubs to support them.  If there's any boycotting to be done it should be by every fan of every other club in the SFL choosing not to travel to Dens to be treated like a piece of shit by the Nazi-like stewards and to be robbed of £19. We should be the ones giving them a miss for trying to buy the league last season whilst running like a fly-by-night phoenix trader.  If you're thinking of going to the game and giving them your hard earned on Saturday then I'd think again and don't Dee it. They deserve nothing but contempt that shower. Edited November 2, 2010 by Vom Itorium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Incredible Adam Spark Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 There's no way I'd support tit-for-tat boycotting, no matter what the Dees are saying. Let's display a maturity that appears to have deserted them. Â It also sounds as if they are expecting quite a large, partisan crowd come Saturday. Our players will need all the support they can get in what's sure to be an aggressive and hostile atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Jag Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'm not going, but it's because I'm a skint student and not because of them being cheating scum. Â However, I would "Kevin Keegan" it if we beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our players will need all the support they can get in what's sure to be an aggressive and hostile atmosphere. Think it's almost a cert that there will be around 5 to 6 thousand maybe more Dee fans in the ground. I agree the lads will need a lot of support but i'm in the camp of not going. They have utter contempt for the rest in the league and the crap coming out of them since the punishment yesterday is sickening. Â I've said before I don't want to see Dundee go out of business but sod them, they don't deserve a penny from any thistle fan. Â I expect us to get beat on Saturday but there will be bigger, more important battles ahead than that of saturday. Like the Morton game at Firhill the following week.

PaleGreySky Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'm not letting their pathetic behaviour influence what I do with my saturday afternoon. I'm going to support the team, because that's what football's for. If where your entrance fee goes is becoming the primary consideration in choosing to go to a game or not (whether for a Dundee fan, or for any fan visiting Dundee), then it's no wonder Scottish Football's a mess  How about we go up there and support the guys, and hope we get to take 3 more points away from them? It'll be one of the better atmospheres of the season, by my prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I wasn't going anyway (and haven't been to many recent games at Dundee) because of that club's attitude to visiting fans in terms of searching, steward behaviour and serial overcharging. Â This blackmail, for that is all it is, from Dundee to the rest of the league cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. Â If they boycott all the other clubs, then each club will lose one or two games' income from Dee fans. If EVERY other club boycotts them, then they will lose about 12 games' income from away fans. Wonder if they will think it's worth it then. Â I urge everyone to withhold their hard-earned from this bunch of chancers. Â This mess is of the Dundee Board's making - no one else's. Â They knew there would be consequences, so for them to whine the way they are now, is pathetic in the extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 It's pretty clear that our away support on Saturday will be less than it would be under normal circumstances. Â I'm undecided at the moment, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleGreySky Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Does anyone here actually just like going to the games? Surely they would just go if they really did, regardless of the situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Does anyone here actually just like going to the games? Surely they would just go if they really did, regardless of the situation? Â Me, I suppose. I just enjoy a game of football on a Saturday and I go to support the team. I agree that Dundee is the most expensive and the least friendly venue, but that would not stop me going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'm sure I can give Dens Park a miss till an end of season gloat fest in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnylambieslovechild Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I was going until i saw the bullie boy tactics on TV, you just lost out on my £19 Dundee well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I was going until i saw the bullie boy tactics on TV, you just lost out on my £19 Dundee well done. Likewise. Of course those Dundee eejits will only find a low Jags fan attendance justification for their boycott. They'll be saying "why should we travel in our thousands to SFL grounds when other team's fans turn up in such low numbers". They really are a trifle delusional. Also a lower than anticipated away attendance will mean a higher steward to fan ratio. That'll be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnylambieslovechild Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 And for the record the £19 i save by not going i will spent at Firhill when i buy x2 tickets to make up for one of the non showing Dundee fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macjag Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I think dundee away might be a bit nasty in light of their dilema all it would take is a bit of banter and they would go crazy and take their anger out on our fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Given the low number of Dundee fans that usually turn up to Firhill, I thought their boycott started years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Welshy Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Off the back of this, if I had the choice I wouldn't go and give them my £19.  Will they boycott Forthbank after Stirling Albion donated money from their own Trust funds to Dundee's cause?  Jokers.  PS. I hope they survive - but I can't sympathise / empathise with that policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleGreySky Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/9151708.stm  Wow.  Jim Spence: "As a rule, Dundee bring anywhere between 1000 and 2000 fans"  Aye, across 3 seasons, maybe...MAYBE. What a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 http://www.tontastic.com/2010-04-17-League-H-Dundee/DSC_1001.jpg  106 fans they brought to Cappielow when they still had a chance of winning the league last year (I think they were 6 or 7 behind with a game in hand). I'm sure the money those fans put in the buckets will keep Dundee going for an extra day or two.  For a club with such a big home support they must be one of the poorest for bringing fans away, they're kidding themselves if they think they bring 1000-2000 on a regular basis anywhere other than Tannadice and McDiarmid Park.

Jaggernaut Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 It would be interesting to see their recent attendances at Firhill, if somebody would be so kind as to dig them out. These and the Morton figures could then be sent to Mr Spence and to the Dundee forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vom Itorium Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 That's the thing that gets me about all of this. Their away support is pish poor and has been for years. Spence giving it the 1000-2000 figure is a nonsense and is just another typical example of a Dundee fans arrogance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
