SV RDM Sportvereniging Rotterdamesche Droogdok Maatschappij ( Sports Rotterdam Drydock Company) celebrated their centenary over Sat & Sun last weekend. They currently play in the sixth div of the Sunday league over here. Team was founded in 1915 a year after the village was built beside the docks for the workers. Currently working with some of the lads so thought would share their weekend with you. Feyenoord sent a team for the celebrations made up of past and some current players.

Looks like a great party. Shame we dont treat our local teams like this. 

Might there be something worthwhile in this DD? I know nothing about our club's relationships with the local teams but it could be something that would benefit our club and its standing in the local community if we took a proactive role with them.

1918 - all destroyed during WW11.

Heijplaat the Village where SV RDM play

Based on Garden Village design principles, the planning of the area was started in 1913 using funds from the 1902 Housing Act. The project was initiated by the Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij (Rotterdam Dry Dock Company), one of the largest shipbuilders in the country, to provide housing for skilled workers on a roughly 17 acre peninsular site between the Waalhaven and Heysehaven basins, across the River Mass from Rotterdam's centre. Its planner, Herman Ambrosius Jan Baanders (1876-1953) provided space for 400 brick houses as well as a host of community facilties that were 'all within the context of the company's moralistic paternalism' as Donald Grinberg has written. During the first phase of construction that lasted until 1918, two churches, two schools, a community centre with shops, a library, a bath house, a firehouse, and a café and theatre located in an after work centre were constructed. A village square with a bronze fountain provided a civic focus and an archway spanning Vestastraat added an element familiar in Dutch villages, with bachelors' apartments located above and a restaurant next door. Although its density of about seventeen houses per acre was more than twice that of 't Lansink, 'the underlying town-planning principles are essentially the same', as Rg. Hofstee has observed. Later phases extended the village to the south and during the 1950s, to the southwest. Heijplaat was threatened with demolition during the 1980s, but protestors were able to win its protection.

Will it make money for the club?

If not I cant see us being interested.

Think Sv RDM also run 4 youth teams and a ladies as well as 2 senior teams. That's a lot of possible future talent in the youth set ups we could be tapping into over here for The Dee if we built up such relationships, get them young..................

Rotterdam is a city bigger than Glasgow. It's easier to have a connection with a small team in a city like that.

Dundee is too small to form such relationships. Maybe if anything an official tie up with Forfar is the way to go.

We had a wee connection with Lochee United in the defiant season. Well it was more Craig Robertson I suppose.
