United are to re-open the Shed to home fans at Tannadice following requests from Tangerine supporters. The Shed will be open to home fans for the St Johnstone game on February 3rd 2000. Season ticket holders in the George Fox and East Stands will be able to gain access with existing tickets and there will also be pay-at-the-gate facilities.
"Quite a number of fans had written to us urging the Club to consider giving the Shed back to United supporters - and we were also made aware of a mini-campaign on the Internet," explained Director Bill Littlejohn. "It's a decent shout - I know the Shed is a special place for many United fans and it will be interesting to see how many supporters opt to shout on the team from that end of the ground during the Saints game. The game against St Johnstone is very much an experiment - if it works and there's a good response we'll definitely look at opening the Shed to our supporters on a more regular basis."
