Dundee Football Club Ltd
Submitted by JSB on Thu, 17/12/2009 - 01:18
Club was founded in 1893 by an amalgamation of two city teams, Dundee Our Boys and Dundee East End. The club played their first Scottish league match on 12 August 1893 drawing 3–3 with Rangers. Dundee moved to their current stadium, Dens Park (capacity: 11,300), in 1899.
In 2003, under owners Peter and James Marr, Dundee FC, was forced to go into administration with £23m debt. The club survived by selling their stadium. In mid-2006, it was announced that financial restructuring would see the club become debt-free. In early 2007 the Marr brothers severed all ties with Dundee, stepping down as Chairman and Chief Executive respectively, when their company P&J Taverns was forced into administration. Bob Brannan and Dave MacKinnon took the Marrs' place.
