I have spoken to many people who work inside Dens Park and it is common knowledge that the South Enclosure is falling apart, and every year the cost of maintaining this is rising. The area behind the South Enclosure was basically a skip and we bought the Rangers old stand and built it on top of that. The 'Derry' should have been demolished and rebuilt at the same time that we built the two new stands and the Main stand is also past its sell by date as well. It makes business sense to build a new stadium rather than trying to do patchwork repairs to one that isn't ours. I am not arguing that we should remain at Dens. The area where the South Enclosure is situated used to be an open terracing On page 223 of the original book "They Wore the Dark Blues" there is a photograph of spectators standing in pouring rain and sleet at a Dundee v Celtic game in March 1958. The attendance was 5,000 with most of the spectators housed in the Main Stand and the Main Stand enclosure. The photograph shows that the South Terracing was cinders with narrow strips of wood whereas now the terracing in the South Enclosure is concrete. I think it would be very expensive to erect a new stand on the site of the South Enclosure as it is huge drop to Dens Road compared to the height of the terracing down to the pitch side. From memory the club could barely afford to construct the Bobby Cox and Bob Shankly stands let alone the cost a new South Enclosure Stand.

I agree therefore I will ask you why you felt it necessary at the time to reply to Gedee's original comment on the subject rather than saying 'What crumbling terracing at Dens has to do with the topic Funeral Teas at Dens Park is beyond me'. If you dig a hole on an internet message board you're likely to be buried in it. Oh, I made a pun
