Catering Contract Hard To Swallow

Dee4Life were very disappointed to learn that Dundee FC has renewed the stadium catering franchise with Lindley Catering Holdings Ltd. for another 5 years, without giving others including local firms the chance to bid.
 
"Many fans have been fiercely critical of Lindley’s poor quality & service and exhorbitant pricing for some time, so it's a decision we find hard to swallow," said Dee4Life Chairman Scott Glenday. "Unusually, the club has valued pounds above people in signing this deal, with a guaranteed fixed fee for the next five years. Sadly, as long as fans are prepared to pay these prices, Lindley’s will refuse to make any changes.”

Scott and fans’ rep George Knight have raised the issue with the club’s General Manager, Jim Thomson, who has provided us with a detailed reply explaining the club’s reasoning, which you can read here.
