True

Dundee United in bid to stop Rangers using St Andrews training base

The Tannadice club don’t want their Premiership rivals at the same base for reasons including security concerns.

As I've said before, we should be having it in England anyway if we are not going abroad.

Give the players a chance of decent, warmer weather.

 

[SuperGers07]

Well Dundee Utd can do one

 

[bLuE PirAtE]

Offer the Uni £1k more than those Arab basturts. They will bite our hand off.

"long standing rivalry between the clubs"

 

[therealmackay]

"a long-running rivalry between the two clubs"

aye in their heads.

 

[Laudrup1]

Security concerns?

I'm not sure our coaching team will be trying to nick too many ideas from the Utd back room training sessions.

North East....not too far, weather always better than up here, and lots of options.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

We shouldn't be trying to steal their phenomenal tactics imo that's just wrong.

 

[bkerr72]

Enjoyed the rivals patter never have been and never will be rivals.

[Bri RTID]

"long standing rivalry between the clubs"

since 2008 ?

 

[Wilkinsvolley]

More manufactured rivalry to make themselves more relevant than they are.

 

[Ter]

Would probably benefit Dundee Utd getting to see how an elite club train and steal some ideas.

 

[TQ3]

Or as the gaffer calls them “Dundee.”

 

[Arkanoid]

Can we take the base that England had at Middlesbrough, facilities must be great there. Knew Gibson invested a lot into the Riverside and the training complex

 

[AnglianBear]

Dear Rangers,

Please do not even think about sending any of our players on loan to Dundee Utd this season. Or any other season.

Yours,

A concerned fan.

 

[Tony75tfc]

Security concerns?

I'm not sure our coaching team will be trying to nick too many ideas from the Utd back room training sessions.

I think they mean fans coming to watch the training as it says the training facilities have easy access

 

[Artful Dodger]

Who?

 

[David Edgar]

Unless Dundee Utd have an exclusive agreement (which they don’t) they can do one.

 

[Tony75tfc]

I take it they will try stop west ham & leicester from using the facilities aswell , the facilities dont belong to dundee utd so they can f**k off

 

[remembertheepoch]

So they are dictating policy to the university. Buy and build your own training ground if you don't like it.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

I think they mean fans coming to watch the training as it says the training facilities have easy access

A number of ways to access the St. Andrews University pitches. Would be mobbed should Rangers go there. I remember watching Rangers train in St. Andrews during the Walter Smith era; McCoist, Gazza, Laudrup, Goram. Living in St. Andrews it was great getting to see them train.

That's Jum MacLean levels of paranoia

He came out with that crap in the 90s to argue against building a training ground with Dundee

 

[TCWNS1872]

Dundee United

In a nutshell, mate.

 

[Jaws2]

"a long-running rivalry between the two clubs"

aye in their heads.

A rivalry implies TWO clubs are involved.

Dundee Utd might THINK there's a rivalry but they're an irrelevance to us.

 

[Orangie]

One of their rivals, in what universe

A horrible club

 

[Roadrunner]

How come every Celtic story in the Record is a positive one and every Rangers one is a negative one?

 

[Let’s Gio]

North East....not too far, weather always better than up here, and lots of options.

nice little pitch near me. No decent hotels though

 

[mdingwall]

How come every Celtic story in the Record is a positive one and every Rangers one is a negative one?

Jackson and Barrett.

 

[Simply a Bear]

Oh, the drama!

Slow news day.

[Sam English]

'Security concerns'

No chance we'd want to steal their pies

 

[Coda]

We should hire out the entire training facility, then choose not to use it. Make the Arab pricks train on St Andrews beach.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

How come every Celtic story in the Record is a positive one and every Rangers one is a negative one?

Most threads on here are positive about Rangers and negative about Celtic. It is what the people using it want.

Dundee Utd's Hospitality.

 

[a_weir]

I’m sure there’s a council facility they could use.

I’ve had hospitality at Corby and it was better than that.

 

[Sam English]

I’m sure there’s a council facility they could use.

Aye, the feckin tip.

 

[UlsterScotGer]

We should offer them Auchenhowie for the week, for a suitable fee.

 

[TheSqueakyWeiner]

Dundee Utd's Hospitality.

Are you sure that's not in the Old Course?

 

[Danny_1872]

Not exactly up to them though is it. Unless there’s a clause in the lease saying that no other team are allowed to use the base then they have no leg to stand on. If West Ham are heading there then it would suggest that their arguments dead in the water.

 

[temperance]

How come every Celtic story in the Record is a positive one and every Rangers one is a negative one?

I take it that's a rhetorical question.

 

[buzzardbear244]

In Tannadice as far as i'm aware.

 

[BSPECIAL]

Dundee Utd's Hospitality.

Nearly as classy as the "On the buses" works canteen

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Their players would be too busy trying to get pics and autographs with the gaffer and players to have proper training sessions

 

[Speminalium8]

I can see their point. It would unfairly give us the benefit of spying on their training methods which have given them so much success.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Offer them fer pehs and an ingin in anaw
