Dundee should be in new training ground next season - John Nelms


Nelms and chairman Tim Keyes have both now been at Dens Park for 11 years and it has been one of their aims since the American duo took ownership of the club to build a new stadium for the first team.

Land near Camperdown Park has been purchased, but there have been various false starts during their tenure regarding the project. Nelms, however, hopes that work can begin in the not too distant future.

“We have a hearing in January for the stadium and we will be pushing to get in there as soon as possible,” Nelms said. “Sometimes my timeframes are a bit optimistic, but my job is to push and push until we get the job done. We will be in there as soon as we possibly can.

“Realistically, it will be at least one more season at Dens. I would like to have potentially some test events in the stadium before we get it ready for the fans. So, when the fans come in, it will be a relatively smooth operation.

“At one point, we were ahead of schedule in terms of building a new stadium – now we are behind schedule. It’s the system and how the system works. It’s not the people.

“Although frustrating, I think, with a little bit of patience, we will set up the organisation and have that for the city for the next 100 years.”

Nelms says leaving Dens Park will be a wrench for many fans but is necessary for the club to move forward.

“Dundee is our spiritual home and it will be hard to walk away from Dens Park,” he added.

“It’s not something we take lightly and we know how much it means to the fans, but we are in the entertainment business and we are trying to put in a 21st century entertainment in a 19th century building. It’s very difficult.”

Chelsea v Man City: BBC Sport previews showdown between WSL top two


Manchester City were the only team Chelsea failed to beat last season on the way to their fifth WSL title in a row.

Their first encounter last season was a feisty 1-1 draw, with Alex Greenwood and Lauren Hemp both sent off for City, who got their revenge in the reverse fixture with a 1-0 win at Kingsmeadow to end Chelsea’s 22-game unbeaten home run.

“Last season in the two head-to-head games, Manchester City were significantly the better team,” the Guardian’s Tom Garry told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“Clearly by the end of the season, those fine margins make a massive difference.

“I think City will go into this game with quite a lot of confidence. They know from last year they can be the better side.”

City let a six-point lead slip towards the end of the season as Emma Hayes’ side won the title on goal difference.

But City have a good record against Chelsea, beating them seven times in the WSL. Only Arsenal, with 10 WSL victories over the Blues, have more.

“Everyone wants to see who can knock Chelsea off their pedestal,” former Manchester City defender Jen Beattie added. “The team in everyone’s head when it comes to that answer is Man City.

“It’s definitely the top-of-the-table clash that everyone wants.”
