Well here below is a factual timeline sequence published in the music press that suggests otherwise...
On 13th November 1976 the music press published details of a punk tour to be co-headlined by Sex Pistols and The Ramones, with Talking Heads, Chris Spedding & The Vibrators the other acts.
The Dundee date arranged being 1st December.
Then on 20th November 1976 the music press published an announcement that all of the acts had pulled out of the tour except the Sex Pistols. The tour was then revamped with Sex Pistols the headline act and support bands being Johnny Thunder's Heart Breakers, The Damned and The Clash.
The 16th December was now the date for Dundee as a result of the revamped tour.
As you can see, the 1st December date on the poster has the second choice of bands (Sex Pistols, Johnny Thunder's Heart Breakers, The Damned and The Clash), but these acts weren't confirmed until the revamped tour dates for 16th December.
If the gig poster WAS for the 1st December, it would have had the first choice of acts on it (The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Talking Heads, Chris Spedding & The Vibrators).
This confirms the Sex Pistols did not cancel the 1st December Dundee gig "at the last minute" to appear live on the Bill Grundy TV show because the revamped dates were confirmed 2 weeks before the TV show aired.
The only reason Sex Pistols appeared on Grundy was because Queen had to cancel their scheduled appearance the day before the show and Sex Pistols replaced them at the last minute.
There is no Dundee gig connection with Pistols on Grundy.
Furthermore, a different music press article from 13th November had Newcastle the date for 1st December punk tour package, so there was never anything definitely secured for that date.
The real Anarchy In The UK tour officially started on 3rd December after the first attempt was scrapped.
The poster's date and support acts don't go together at all - the information is meaningless.
--------------
The above is only a small sample of evidence.
There is much more wrong with the poster than just the date & support bands.

Confirms that the poster is not connected to a gig, Tech College, Caird Hall or Pistols.
It's FAKE..!!
