| With a large travelling support expected in the Highlands as United search for the point they need to stave off the threat of relegation, Inverness police have insisted the visitors’ end at Caley Stadium should be all-ticket.
Around 2500 briefs were heading to Tannadice this afternoon, but, with as many as 3000 fans expected to want to be at the game, Thompson made an attempt to get more space for his supporters.
He was even willing to pay for an extra 500 tickets himself, at a cost of around £10,000, but was told because of segregation measures the United support would be limited to just one stand.
The briefs will go on sale to season ticket holders tomorrow, with any left being available to all fans from Wednesday.
United will also be meeting the cost of buses run by clubs affiliated to the Federation of United Supporters’ Clubs, who should make their usual arrangements for expenses to be met.
Dundee will be subsidising their fans’ travel to their game at Livi by running cut-price buses and seats can be booked at Dundee Direct. Prices are £5 for adults and £2.50 for concessions.
Dark Blues fans should be aware that major road works have again been scheduled for the Forth Bridge this weekend. With delays of up to two hours expected, travellers are being advised to find alternative routes. |
