Dundee FC slam 'unhelpful procedural developments' amid new stadium plans limbo
Managing director John Nelms revealed the Dees have racked up a £3.5m bill before the Camperdown Stadium Development Project has even been green lit.
In April of this year, the club stated that talks with Transport Scotland over a suitable entrance were holding up the move.
However, in the most recent statement, Nelms accused the national transport agency for Scotland of uploading a consultation response based on 'out-of-date information.'
The managing director says this is just the most recent in 'a series of inexplicable procedural anomalies' that have hit the huge project.
Dundee City Council was accused by the dark blues of 'unexpected delays' to vital responses.
Nelms states that a Draft Traffic Management Plan was submitted on March 5, however, Dundee FC did not receive a response from the local authority until July 24.
The plan was also submitted to Transport Scotland who didn't provide a response until August 8.
The managing director says the club has been 'increasingly alarmed by unhelpful procedural developments' which are blocking the construction of 'an ambitious multi-use stadium and event campus.'
Nelms said: 'We will continue the fight – though we had never intended or foreseen it being thus – to show our ambition for the City of Dundee and our commitment to a prosperous future for Dundee Football Club, its fans and, indeed, its rivals.
'The outcome of this process will, of course, have future ramifications for all fans, irrespective of the colour of their scarves.
'We now urge the most senior elected figures within Dundee City Council, together with Scottish Government and Holyrood parliamentarians to pay close attention as we approach a critical juncture of this long-running process.'
Dundee City Council and Transport Scotland have been contacted for comment.

Scottish Premiership club 'increasingly alarmed' by new stadium delays as costs hit £3.5m 'and counting'

Dundee managing director John Nelms has described the on-going hold-ups to gain approval for a long-held plan to build a new stadium on the outskirts of the city as 'curious'. Nelms has responded after what was reported as the latest setback to hit the project earmarked for land in the Camperdown area, about three miles from the club's present site at Dens Park. A persistent issue has been concerns surrounding access off the bypass at times of high traffic density, such as before and after games.

It has now been as long as 18 months since a planning in principle application was submitted for the 12,500-capacity complex. The club are still awaiting a decision from Dundee City Council.

He stressed he was 'encouraged' by Dundee City Council chief executive Greg Colgan agreeing to meet having had no contact from Robin Presswood, the council's executive director of city development, since the application was submitted in February 2024. Presswood, he noted, is expected to attend the meeting, although it isn't stated when this meeting will take place. Nelms and business partner, Dundee chairman Tim Keyes, bought the land in 2017. Nelms claims they were encouraged to do so by council figures over other areas under consideration, including the site which is now earmarked for the £130 million Eden Project development. He said it was 'ironic' that this was deemed unsuitable due to traffic demands. The planned new stadium would, Nelms estimated, bring as much as £150m investment to a city that doesn't have its economic challenges to seek. He complained about the "apparent indifference by certain council officers" to the wider benefits.

It is merely the latest in a series of inexplicable procedural anomalies, which are becoming increasingly commonplace.' He cited a Draft Management Traffic plan that was submitted to the council on 5 March. 'The response from DCC [Roads], dated 4 April, was not sent to the applicant until 24 July, along with another response from Police Scotland, dated 30 May. Why the delay in reporting such vital information to us?' he asked. 'It is our dear hope that our misgivings prove to be unfounded,' Nelms continued. 'That our assigned senior council officers are shown to have acted with the utmost professionalism and good faith. That ultimately our supporters will be able to see our vision become their reality.' However, the club are 'increasingly alarmed' by unhelpful procedural developments. 'The outcome of this process will, of course, have future ramifications for all fans, irrespective of the colour of their scarves,' he added. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad
