Dundee's stadium

[Cat Stanton]

Some vague chat in the news today about the state of Dundee's pitch (on account of recent heavy rain) and whether they might have to play their next home games at a different ground. Clearly doesn't sound like that's going to happen (although it might be good for us if it were true) but the funniest thing about the club statement is the name of their stadium - when did this happen?

The statement apparently says: "Dundee Football Club want to respond to media speculation regarding the club being forced to move Saturday’s match against Motherwell away from the Scot Foam Stadium...."

The Scot Foam Stadium? Really?

Are they ever going to move to that proposed new ground at Camperdown Park?

[Carheenlea]

Wonder who will get their new stadium finished first - Aberdeen or Dundee?

Or hearts? 🤔

I see they are now putting covers down. Owner previously said they'd done everything they could to get the game on v Rangers. Obviously have realised it was a cock-up as they didn't have covers before but thought 10 guys with forks and sand turning up at 6am would be enough.

Think the game will be on tomorrow regardless if the pitch is playable or not. Really poor stuff but think SPFL will force it through.

At least Dundee are trying to move to a new stadium I suppose, whether it ever happens or not. Read the fault isn't actually with Dens Park but the drainage from the Tay.

Would that not also affect United across the road whose games are always on

They still don't have covers. They have had to borrow these ones from celtic lol. Ridiculous really as would have thought that was the minimum requirement for clubs in the top league.

So.....If they do have to postpone and play the game at Airdrie on Monday, not exactly ideal given Dundee play rangers on the Wednesday is it. Celtic fans will have a breakdown.

Dens Park is an awful dump of a place.

'Traditional' is about the kindest word I can muster

The scene of the greatest meltdown in Scottish football in 1986.

I love Dens, my favourite away ground.

It’ll be missed when it becomes another out of town meccano box with nothing of interest nearby.

Ridiculous. The pitch is clearly unfit for purpose and needs dug up.

On the potential plus side I hope the difficulties they're having have a positive impact on our top six bid.

My favourite away games are the likes of Dens, Tannadice, Fir Park. Do some folk seriously prefer these soulless IKEA flat pack stadiums??

That is farcical, the pitch must be unplayable at the moment and they are hoping the wind will give it a chance, no thought for travelling fans.

[jws1875]

Sky just posted a video on twitter.. Pitch is far from playable will take a lot of work to get that on!

[lugz]

If only there was a stadium a stones throw away that they could use.

[Trinity Hibee]

Once again multiple lower league clubs games are all on today. Dundee is the only team that repeatedly has these issues.

[Northernhibee]

They should start forfeiting games if they can’t put on a match when everyone else can.

Is that water or just a pile of sand 🤔

Looks like a mix of both. Not unlike the sand at Porty beach as the tide goes out.

also give dundee an advantage over us if it isnt played today as they would know what result they need and can change game plan to suit

Exactly my thoughts as well.If we win today then Motherwell can’t get top six so may take the edge off their game when they eventually play.
