The Dundee Derby: A Celebration of Scottish Football and Community Spirit
Get ready for an epic clash tomorrow as the Dundee Derby takes center stage! This historic fixture, set to be broadcast live on Sky Sports, promises to showcase the very essence of Scottish football and the vibrant city of Dundee.
At Dundee FC, we're thrilled to be a part of this spirited rivalry. As we gear up for the match, we want to extend a special message to all our supporters: let's create an atmosphere that embodies the best of our city and our sport.
A Call for Respect and Sportsmanship
To all our fans, we ask that you treat each other, the players, and the host stadium with the utmost respect. This is a game, a celebration of football, and we want everyone to feel safe and welcome. Remember, this is a global showcase, and we want to present the best of Dundee to the world.
Safety First: Pyrotechnics and Field Encroachment
Here's where it gets controversial: the use of pyrotechnics is strictly prohibited at the CalForth Construction Arena and all Scottish football grounds. Carrying or using these items is not only illegal but also poses a serious safety risk. We kindly ask all fans to respect this rule and help maintain a secure environment for everyone.
And this is the part most people miss: it's also strictly prohibited to enter the field of play during a football match. Pitch encroachment is not allowed under any circumstances, and we need your cooperation to ensure a fair and safe game.
Respecting Our Host Stadium
Following the last Dundee Derby at Tannadice, we incurred significant costs to repair facilities damaged by visiting supporters. This is an unfortunate burden for both clubs, and we appreciate the understanding and cooperation of our travelling Dundee supporters.
A Memorable Derby Awaits
Dundee FC is grateful for the unwavering support of our Dees. We're looking forward to another memorable derby that showcases the passion, talent, and unity of our clubs and supporters. Let's make this a derby to remember, one that reflects the best of Dundee!
So, are you ready to join us in creating a positive and respectful atmosphere? Let's make this Dundee Derby a true celebration of Scottish football!
