The following is how John came to think of forming a Highland section.

I keep meeting a few of the supporters up here and we always say we should arrange something so here it goes.

As to how it started myself and my mate Mark Kerr have been lifelong dark blues. We used to work together at Ninewells and met up again when we moved to new jobs in Inverness.

The third person is a converted Jambo! We travelled down together for the 1-1 draw and he went to the away end. After the game he said that as the game went on he wished he was in the Bobby Cox supporting us as he had never seen anything like some of the stuff that we were trying to play. Since then he has been at numerous games including another two against the Jambos but wearing a Dundee scarf and supporting us!

I made contact with Graeme Couttie through the web- site and we met up with him and Danny Cameron and a young guy from Forres in the Invergowrie Inn before one of the games. Mark Kerr and myself then met up with Iain Smaile when he turned up for a football game through work. Iain then introduced us to two of his relatives when we met up in a pub in Inverness to watch the ppv game against Rangers.

One guy, Colin, I met when he started talking about the Dee in a pub another is a taxi driver who I happened to tell I was on my way home from Dens. My own son Mark is at Uni in Edinburgh but would also join up. Most of these guys know others and the thing is snow-balling on the back of these exciting days! The rest have made contact through Dundee online.
