Can't wait to see Monorail Bob's latest powerpoint plans on Mad, later tonight   

That and how John Nelms was only planning an 8,000 seater stadium which wouldn't allow us his imaginary access into the EFL with all the multi million £££££ it would bring us and JN lsorefusing to listen to his plans for a 25,000 seat stadium at the bridge land fall .

Man's a total rocket.

i would expect access to be from the north of the site and onto the flyovers at Dryburgh and roundabout at Gourdie. If starting from scratch then an underground carpark could be an option as could a multistorey car park with smart design for entrance and exit. Progress at last on the new stadium. Can't wait for the detailed designs to be released and the multitude of arabs to be objecting to the stadium because it doesn't have five stands.

Access directly off Kingsway from the south, no flyovers only slip roads. Existing access from the north via road past the leisure park.

not that land  - think it was former NCR so private land. Anyway we have bought it so deal done so no worries on that score. Just need away games when clashing with Flower Show, easter weekend and any music festivals. cannae be rocket science to do that?

We never bought the plot of land which has the training ground on it in the design.

If that is the training ground......guess could be Council/DFC JV?

Ties in with what I have seen.  Access from the north/ice rink area and also a new access from the existing Kingsway slip road.

The monorail! Brilliant memories! 

Who else was it he wanted to buy into it, Hearts?

I feel a wee bit sorry for him. He doesn't seem to be a bad guy at heart and has past put effort in helping the club out but the extremity of his delusions indicates that he's just not quite right. It's good though that he's got a wee community though and I do like reading about his crazy schemes.

[Billy Campbell's Ghost 2,640]

I remeber when he wanted to buy us and I did some personal research into him thru some in the financial sector in Edinburgh where I had links at the time. Same response each time....." tell your club not to touch him with a barge pole"!

Well, the planning Dept . at the council will be taking everything on here  into consideration from the experts who know the access, stadium shape, long/lat  details, capacity , car parking  amd every other aspect already . Now that those in the know  on here have decided the details it only remains for a massive fight over the name of the  diamond shaped stadium with helicopter only access and an Axminster carpet playing surface - droves can threaten  to boycott Dundee F.C.   if the place is not called   after their suggestion .

Just had another look at that plan and the training pitches look as though they're situated not in the main part of Camperdown Park but in the disused field which has the track running alongside it taking you to the underpass at the Kingsway.

No wishing at all to put this off-topic...Because I think this is an important topic.

But Prince I am no at all in agreement with that comment. I dinnae ken the man.

I find his style entertaining, whether taken seriously, (unlikely) or as a bit of fun.

Surely there is room for folk like him on a forum even if it is only so others, who

maybe take themselves too seriously, start realising, that lightening up is OK

He also can make these intelligent people, feel even more intelligent & wise
