Football trail planned for Dundee

Football trail planned for Dundee

Together with the other city’s clubs, Dundee FC in the Community Trust will be part of a football trail, which will guide participants through Dundee’s football history.

DFC in the Community Trust can announce its ambitious plans with the Stobswell Forum and city councillor Lynne Short to create a football trail around the city taking football fans and others to many grounds of teams past and present. Once complete the trail will cover around eight or nine miles and encompass grounds associated with Dundee FC, Dundee United, Lochee Utd, Dundee Harp and Dundee Violet.

“This trail has huge potential. It’s actually surprising there hasn’t been one created in Dundee before now given the great footballing history in the city, not just with the two main teams but also with the junior teams.” said Greg Fenton, community manager of Dundee FC Community Trust.

“The trail would cover around eight or nine miles and take in many clubs and grounds past and present. I believe this would attract people from all over Scotland and would be a major asset to Dundee.” he added.

Colin Clement of Stobswell Forum said: “We have some interesting history related to both senior and junior football grounds in the city which might be the basis for some form of Football Cultural Trail.”
