ian1964 10,720 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 With today’s fixture amendments release including the upcoming home match against Celtic we would like to address the situation regarding discussions which have been ongoing with the possibility of playing a fixture in the United States of America. A lot of positive conversations have taken place regarding this over the period since the initial discussions took place about playing this fixture in America but unfortunately it will not go ahead at this time. Some of those conversations which have taken place over the past few months have branched off to other areas of discussion which the club are actively pursuing for the future. We will continue to look into any and every avenue which we feel can benefit Dundee Football Club. As with a number of projects like this, for various reasons, we are unable to give all the information and we appreciate our supporters patience around this subject. The club are always looking at new initiative ways to take the club forward and we have been heartened by the support we received from our fans about this potential project. We will be making no further comment at this time. http://dundeefc.co.uk/news/club-statement-14/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,720 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 No league game should be allowed to be played over seas, IMO, sporting integrity!. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuGers 477 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Ridiculous concept. There is no way this would have gone ahead. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The ridiculous nature of this is only exceeded by the utter contempt that Lawell and his stooges thought that the rest of us wouldn't see that this is, in essence, an advantage to Celtic by allowing them to play an "away" game at a "neutral" venue (a neutral venue in name only, especially if somewhere like Boston where the plastic paddies are in droves - would have been more akin to a home game, IRA-Oke included - even if not in Boston, would have been a home game given Dundee won't have more than a handful of fans in the US). Not only a fanciful idea, but a complete waste of everyone's time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris Cole 0 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Do Celtic still think they are a "global brand"? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,357 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 No doubt they would have been pressing for the game to be played on ST.Paddy's day:giruy: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearman 9 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The idea of playing overseas has been going on since 1888! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
