| When the ticket office at Dens Park opened today, some 4000 of the briefs had already been snapped up — just two days after they went on general sale.
That’s left the club confident the whole lot will be gone well in advance of the trip to McDiarmid Park on November 22 and supporters are being urged to get their tickets quickly to avoid disappointment.
Dundee were also pleased with the size of the support they took over the road to Tannadice for last night’s friendly derby.
Only 1000 or so tickets were sold, but with many more fans taking advantage of cash turnstiles, the away support was closer to 3000 by kick-off time.
And although his team went down 3-1 to their city rivals, boss Jocky Scott felt they played some good football.
“In terms of performance, I was pleased and thought the boys gave a good account of themselves, but the result was disappointing,” he said.
“We played an U/19 defence for the last half-hour and that was a big ask, but we were looking at the bigger picture and that was making sure people were fit and fresh for Queen of the South on Saturday.”
Gary MacKenzie, missing last night after falling ill with flu at the weekend, is expected to be back for that top-of-the-table clash.
And although Derek Soutar was in goal against United and pulled off a string of fine saves, Rab Douglas will be back between the sticks at the weekend.
