I voted on boycotting. I would however change my mind if, and only if we were in the stand behind the goals, I will not be going to sit in that crappy hole they call a main stand. I've been to the last few fixtures at dens in the hope that they will put us in the stand behind the goals, but they don't.

I hope the club will come out and tell us where we will be situated, because I don't think I'm the only one who has this opinion. Although I do grudge them £20 a ticket too!

Im with you batross, will go if I can but only if in the stand behind the goal as I too am unwilling to pay the highest price in the league for one of the worst seats.

Yes this is daylight robbery ... why they get away with it I'll never know and this is a bug bear of mine .

Gate fees should be set buy the footballing body depending on which league you are envolved in at the same price for every team .

As I love to watch the rovers so much I will go

( IF WE GET THE STAND BEHIND THE GOALS ) But this all depends on numbers to justify opening that stand .

Our buses will be going but only if we are in the stand behind the goals even though we grudge paying £20 for the privelege.

I can't see me taking a moral stance over three quid. One less pint of Stella and I'm breaking even.

£20 to watch Dougie Hill launch long balls forward all day? No thanks.

No problem with being stuck in the main stand, why should they open a big stand for 400 or so fans?

Because (with us) if they dont and they keep cheesing us off they eventually might only get about 100 fans turning up. That will cost them about £4000-£6000, if they dont need the cash then fine.

As for what our directors do there a big difference to the numbers we take to Dunde (even now) and what the likes of Dumbarton and Alloa will bring, its not like the mighty Hamilton Accies filled the stand is it?

I really don't think it will make much difference to Dundee, they have a very large home support. I doubt a couple hundred less Rovers fans will change that.

Principal is the same,the Rovers support comfortably fits in the main stand at dens.

I disagree having a biggish home support is fine and well and it mightn't make much odds for the smaller away supports who call but losing out on larger travelling supports (x2) over the course of the season is financial lunacy.....but then again it's Dundeh FC we're talking about and their next trip to admin City is probably only a short bus ride away.

Anything up to 400 (and possibly more) disgruntled fans who decide not to make the two trips because they don't like getting ripped off is denying the football club somewhere between £12,000 to £20,000.
Dundees debts are big (the always are) but can they afford not to pander to fans when there is hard cash at stake?

You dont think?You`d get a job as their finance director.For a club thats been in admin twice,made substantial losses last year and when every pennies a prisoner a few hundred supporter will make a difference.Just a pity all clubs supporters didn`t boycott Dens.
