I have mixed emotions about the game this weekend. I'm a former player, I played from 1982-1985 under Frank Laws/John Fitzpatrick, and have many fond memories of my time at Christie Park, but i'm also a life long Dundee fan, born and bred.
I would like to wish you all the best on Saturday and continued success for the remainder of the season.
I now live in Cardiff and the Western Mail dosn't quite cover the Highland League but this web site is superb.
no word on an inspection yet but have been informed that if the game is off it will be rescheduled for Tuesday (15th) with a 7:45pm kick-off.
Both teams had requested a Saturday but this was over-ruled
Match Officials have been confirmed for Saturday. they are: Referee: Craig Mackay. Assistant Referee 1 Mat Northcroft. Assistant Referee 2 Graham Fraser.

Thanks to all those who have put in a great deal of work behind the scenes during the week and to all who will be helping out tomorrow - it is very much appreciated by all at the club.
Following a meeting with the Police, The Gordon Schools grounds will be out of bounds to all tomorrow, except the bus car park which will be used by Dundee supporter buses.
Hi did you have a pitch inspection last week,is the weather any worse than it was then?You have to get the game on tomo we are all looking forward to a good day out,(heard you boys like a good drink and a party too)It wont be the same on a tues night.

Pitch is 2/3 covered with plastic sheeting. Only wings exposed, but may be too little too late. As Jock McH says, its frosty and ground is hard.
Wouldnt bet on Tuesday either.
What happens after that? This one could go on for a while.
Toss a coin?
A friend who is working in London at the moment has a colleague who is a Chelsea fan and was away to find a bookie in London to see what odds they would give for a 2 - 1 Huntly win !
Lets hope the game gets the go ahead as when news comes through if its good then its bags in the car and straight up to b and b then onto pub to watch clyde beat utd before the big game
On the messsage board first (I think this is where everyone looks first on the website to see whats going on and it's quicker than loading it onto the front page first)
For those of you who fancy a wee "flutter" on the Bookmakers regarding the Huntly V Dundee match its
worth noting that the bookmakers are "hedging" their Bets on this game!
William Hills Odds are:
Huntly Win 13/2 with the Draw at 7/2
Coral's Odds are:
Huntly Win 7/1 with the Draw at 10/3
For those of you who think that Huntly can go all the way and lift the Cup then Willaim Hill have
set the Odds at 5000/1, yes you read that correctly 5000/1.
great team effort tonight the young lads did the club proud.
Was a superb moment for Wee Reidser coming to for that header and just disappointing we couldn't convert the chances shortly after.
Not only did the lads do Huntly and Highland League proud more overly they did themselves proud and everyone of them, lead by Big Mo, should be very pleased with their performance last night.
It was certainly hard at times to work out who were the full time players.
Great game, probably the best i have seen huntly play all season.
Came out at the start of the second half and really took it to dundee and didn't let them think we wouldf be the 'walkover' they were expecting.
Brillian performance by stewart gray and the whole team!
If we play like that every game we should easily be top of the league!
Great effort all round.Well done lads.
The cakeheads who predicted 6-0 and 7-0 were very quiet at 1-1.
If we can take this effort into the remaining league games it could be a great season.
Great display yesterday. All of the players should be proud of themselves. Here's to the rest of the season. Hope we bounce back against Lossie on saturday.
Yes, a ggreat game and well done the team. Remember, you can talk to Dave McGinlay about it, and about Saturday's game, at the Fans Forum, to be held Thursday night in the social club at 8 pm.
Well done lad's you gave it your all and at the same time had Dundee a wee bit worried when we got the deserved equaliser.
An outstanding team effort with all the players looking as though they were enjoying the occasion.
The team spirit was back up where it belongs and I hope that this continues for the rest of the season.
Also let's get all the supporters that turned out for last night's game,coming along to the nitty gritty games that we have coming up as they should have seen what a great team to go and watch every week.So come on out and support your local heroes and help them along to further successes.
just really have to back up athing abody else was saying bout the team, great display and i must say i was utterly amazed by the sound from the fans when "wee" keithie reid heeded that ball in the net!!! OUTSTANDING

I would just like to congratulate the players and management for their efforts last night.I was one who thought Huntly would be well beaten by a Dundee side challenging for the title,but was delighted to be proven wrong.Most credit obviously goes to the players but well done to management for tactics.Fans around me were moaning because we only had one up front but to go with two up would have been crazy.Dundee would have picked Huntly off and the game could have been over early if they went with two up.Im sure the tactics would have to make sure they were still in the game with 20 minutes and it worked a treat.Lets hope some of the "fans" who were there last night return on saturday for the Lossie match.
great performance from the team last nite, capped off an excellent run the team had in the cup this season an i hope after this performance the team will carry on an do well for the remander off the season
The best thing about last night is it moves us on from the Big Red episode.
The tactics were spot on as Martin has already said.
The celebration at Forres and the effort last night prove its McG's show now.
Time to print some new T-Shirts ??
I would just like to say i felt your team played very well last night. As a Dundee fan most of us expected to hammer huntly, however that was not the case. Your team showed great spirit to keep potential stars such as mcdonald and davidson at bay. They also showed true bottle for battling back from 1-0 down and give dundee a kick up the backside.
great credit to huntly in this scottish cup tie they battled fiercley but dundees experience won in the end a typical david and goliath tie just releived to be over this hurdle all the best for the rest of the season
