To save anyone clicking it:
"As a result, Dundee were fined £186,000, of which £120,000 is suspended until the end of season 2024/25. The suspended element will be automatically triggered in the event of a further breach of SPFL Rules relating to pitch condition next season."

Why wait till next season ? It might rain in Dundee before then.

I was expecting the pitch to be a lot worse than it actually was last night.

Thought it was going to be for the shameless flat ball, and no multi-ball fiasco.

Hit for 66 grand, for all that inconvenience.
Joke.

I agree, clearly not entirely flat as you could see when the ball ran across the surface but generally OK.

There should've been 3pt deductions triggered for multiple postponements.

The wee brown envelopes they've received from the bheasts should cover it.

So why do other clubs effectively have to pay the fine from Sky for the postponements that were caused by Dundee not investing in their pitch which caused the games to be postponed ?
Pity several members clubs don’t question why the £120k is suspended
Dundee are looking into legally challenging the fines too
Fucking jokers

Think how out of pocket Rangers were for having to stay in St Andrews 2/3 times. How out of pocket the travelling fans were and how out of pocket Sky were as well.
Dundee should've had points deducted.

Hilarious.
I wonder if Knewco will turn around to Dundee and say 'We've got this'.
The whole thing reeks.

The stench of corruption surrounds Dundee's shenanigans against us.

Some peoples heads have gone regarding this. Yeah it's a joke, but a transfer embargo ffs.
So basically fined 66k.

Aye, and I believe Sky have billed the SPFL £100,000 for the 2 last minute postponements.
Go figure.
Awesome post. Please enlighten us with your thoughts as to why what I’ve said is so objectionable?
Motherwell and others have spent fortunes on their pitches to get them to a decent standard. Dundee have ignored obvious problems with theirs to invest in the team. They can’t blame outside factors as the surface across the street is pretty much immaculate. The story about the blocked drain in the street outside doesn’t wash for me as Dens is on a hillside. A transfer embargo would focus their boards minds on sorting the issues quickly otherwise they’d potentially be looking at relegation.
A transfer embargo? You don’t see whats mental about that?
Means Dundee have to spend the money on the pitch, what’s mental about that? Although I can see how you think the SPFL wouldn’t think out of the box like that.
you think a club can legally be put on a transfer embargo because their pitch is shite? Punish their squad strength because their pitch is shite? Not just fine them for every game thats called off? Tell them they are BCD until it’s sorted? No, you can’t buy or sell players. Mental, absolutely batshit mental.
Place is bonkers
