Dundee Football Club has made the decision to change the venue for their two upcoming home matches in the Premier Sports Cup. Instead of playing at their usual home ground of Dens Park, the team will now be playing at Brechin City’s Glebe Park.
The reason behind this venue switch is to allow for ongoing improvements to the playing surface at Dens Park. The club is working hard to ensure that the pitch is in the best possible condition for the start of the new Scottish Premiership season. Last season, a number of matches had to be postponed at Dens Park, resulting in a hefty fine from the SPFL.
Club officials have emphasized that they have invested significantly in improving the pitch, including installing a new secondary drainage system and adding 200 tonnes of rootzone. The decision to move the two home games to Glebe Park will provide more time for the newly renovated pitch to settle and be ready for the league campaign.
Head groundsman Paul Murray expressed gratitude for the club’s support throughout the renovation process, acknowledging the challenges faced along the way. With the pitch being seeded less than four weeks ago and concerns about its stability, the additional time before the league campaign kicks off will help ensure the pitch is in optimal condition.
In addition to the Premier Sports Cup matches, Dundee B will also be playing at Glebe Park in the SPFL Trust Trophy. This collaboration with Brechin City showcases a strong partnership between the two clubs and allows for a smooth transition during the pitch improvements.
Overall, Dundee Football Club is focused on providing a top-quality playing surface for their upcoming matches. The decision to move the games to Glebe Park demonstrates their commitment to ensuring that the pitch at Dens Park is in prime condition for the start of the season. Ticket information for the matches at Glebe Park will be released soon, and fans can look forward to an exciting start to the new season.
