The Club held a highly successful Question and Answer evening on
Monday 24 February at the Whitehall Theatre. The event was attended by several
hundred loyal supporters and they were treated to an entertaining evening. As
it was a season ticket holders’ event, no video cameras captured the event.
The night began with Paul Reid as our host and a 15 minute show of his wide range of football impersonations. This led into Hall of Famers Dave Bowman and John Reilly being interviewed by Joe Rice about their experiences as United players. John gave a heartfelt insight into his time at Dundee United and beyond and spoke of his pride at being inducted into the Club’s Hall of Fame. ‘Psycho’ played along as his disciplinary record was continually called into question!
Next up was football freestyler Paul Donnelly who amazed the crowd with his skills and the round of applause as he finished suggested his section went down well with the audience.
After a short interval it was on to the main part of the show and Stephen Thompson, Jackie McNamara, Steve Campbell, Jim Spence and Tom Duthie took to the stage to warm applause. Before the session, the Chairman broke the news exclusively to the crowd of the Manager’s
contract extension.
Questions were taken from the floor and via twitter and included various topics including the Club’s finances, contract situations, the youth set up and the first team.
The debate frequently ventured into the national game and there was even time for the Chairman to text a question to ask why the Manager continues to tinker with the team!
The evening finished around 9.40pm to robust applause from the crowd and the positive feedback received at the event and since gives us belief that this is an event which we will look to include in next season’s Season Ticket package.
