    The stadium and, more importantly, the pitch have been neglected because they want to move to Camperdown. The money that any responsible team spends on pitch maintenance has presumably been spent on players giving Dundee an unfair advantage.
    Such behaviour must surely be a breach of the rules.
    Five postponements so far and, let’s be honest, the Motherwell game should have been six. Next week could easily be seven.
    SPFL well within their rights to award the points to their greatly inconvenienced opponents.

    The reason that a minimum standard of stadium was established for entry into the top tier was to prevent clubs neglecting their grounds and using every penny on wages to improve their team.
    In Dundee’s case, it’s not structural failings but the playing surface.
    Basically the whole surface needs lifted, proper drainage installed (under soil heating probably a luxury too far) and then relaid with professional maintenance to keep it playable (as a minimum) except in biblical weather.
    They've obviously spent heehaw on the surface with the money presumably spent on playing staff.
    For that reason, they should be getting hammered by the SPFL.

    As I understand it, the news of settlements dragged out of Separate Entity FC is based on a “class action” style sample of around twenty victims.
    I seem to recall the solicitor involved quoting hundreds having come forward so I’m assuming that this first group are effectively a test case?
    We've long suspected that the reason behind stockpiling money in the bank was because they knew that, one day, justice would catch up with them.
    It also seems that the compensation will be on a case by case basis as opposed to one size fits all. I can’t imagine they’ll part with a penny if the victim refuses to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement so those wanting their day in court will have even more to endure.
    As ever, the media coverage is minimal given the scale of the atrocities committed and every journalist of any worth should be ashamed for not screaming about this story from the rooftops.
    Their cowardice is indefensible.

    They're spending fuck all on Dens because they want to move. You'll probably be  shocked to hear that they have undersoil heating installed already, long time ago. They were given the top end of five figures as a possible fix to thr drainage issue but sacked the groundsmen instead. They don't want to put money into Dens.

    You can’t get insurance against you yourself committing a criminal act.
    Had the disgusting excuse for a club suffered loss because of a criminal act by a third party, then such a loss might be covered.
    But, in a situation where the crimes were committed by umpteen of the club’s staff and/or representatives (eg coaches, scouts), then no policy will pick up the tab for that.

    All very well saying play it on the 16/17th but what if rain persists and the pitch is still like a re-enactment of The Somme?
    And SKY will be pretty unimpressed if they need to provide filler for yet another match planned in their schedule that has gone tits up?
    We’ll be even more of a laughing stock the next time the contract needs renewed.

    Did so well against a squad assembled by MON for 30m+. And he was having to replace real talent with journeymen as we downsized.
    And don’t forget his movie career…
