Long Wait
Tuesday was a bad day to have an accident in Dundee. The casualty department of the D.R.I. dealt with 130 cases, largely due to the icy pavements and roads, and queing up for treatment was inevitable. One woman who broke her arm in a fall at 11 am finally got home from hospital after plastering at 3 pm.
Chairman is not Worried
Dundee have heavier commitments than most as a full-time club operating in the first division, with a running cost of £4,000 per week. With nothing coming in at the turnstiles during the present shut-down the cash out-flow in that period must be close to £25,000. Lucrative fixtures against Arbroath, St Johnstone, Clyde and Clydebank have been postponed and will now go on in mid-week in the spring.
Dundee chairman Ian Gellatly takes a philosophical attitude. "These postponed games have to be played and there is always the possibility of attracting more folk in Spring". "If we supply the goods we will attract fans, its as simple as that".
