Wow the most well travelled flag in Germany Well done !! Enjoy the rest of your adventures . Hope you see a couple of wins now .

From the P&J today.

I wish!

I've heard the hall has been booked at the Hilton Community Centre from Wednesday.

Not imported. This is the cost off the shelf in the club shop as well as the Adidas store and anywhere else like Sportchek (think JJB or similar). You can pick up ‘replica’ kits (same kit but no official branding for league like a real player shirt) for about $115 which incidentally is the same cost as an official Scotland shirt in that same Sportchek store. Unfortunately didn’t have my size though

They did very well indeed, Robert. Gave the Aussies a real fright with then only having 2 balls to spare. The match against England ended as a "no result" because of the rain, but Scotland had got off to a blistering start with the bat and had the rain not intervened they would certainly have tested England at the very least.

Pretty fair summary I think, other than when he took over in the summer of 2019 we were already a bit of a financial basket case, losing huge sums in the Championship including a whopping £0.9m for 18/19. The club had debts of £1.9m at the end of 18/19 including £0.8m of loans from directors, and the accounts only met the going concern requirement because of formal commitments from shareholders to provide further loans. He inherited a financial mess, kept us going with a very competitive team chasing promotion for several seasons, fell short, then left us in a worse mess, on and off the pitch.

If the club is in a position to provide assurances of the club’s ongoing financial viability to the Supporters’ Trust which is then able to make this public, why has the club not taken it upon itself to make public statement to that effect?

I don’t know the whole story. They had a plan to merge with Strathspey that Strathspey rejected, then it was said they would not be playing in the NCL this season.

Getting close to £10K now and if displayed names are genuine, there are some pretty recognisable names in there, including former club officials and staff, two former managers, and one assistant, players going back from now to 15+ years ago and even possibly one of our former CEOs or someone with the same name at least (no, not the current or recent CEOs).

indeed ... Will always remember @The Mantis getting me in trouble with Stevie Hislop for something he said on CTO about his running style.

Or will it be Good News Week..,

Thistle are almost back, and are trying to get admitted to the NCFA for the 25/26 season. Dunno how it'll pan out considering how the last revival of Thistle went, but can't imagine they'd be about for long... Not sure why they chose Thistle when they techincally still exist, and a Union/Citadel/Celtic revival would be far more interesting https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/sport/talks-to-take-place-tonight-about-bringing-inverness-thistle-353094/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Could do a job for us...we need a 'keeper.

Johndo, I've missed you! I did win the lottery, reckon me and Yngwie can maybe go halfers?

There's certainly enough doughnuts at the club but I wouldn't necessarily trust throwing hundreds and thousands at them We're crumbling quicker than an empire biscuit

Following the expiry of many contracts on Sunday, and the comments made by Mark Ridgers, Cammy MacKay and Wallace Duffy, the Supporters Trust has issued a press statement thanking all out of contract players for their contribution to the club, and is shocked and dismayed by the lack of contact made with them by the club regarding their position. The press statement has been e-mailed to all members, and can be viewed here: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/out-of-contract-players We will continue to work on behalf of our members and the wider fan base, and we would welcome further members. Anyone joining now will have their membership apply until the end of July 2025. You can join using this link: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/join-us Many of you who supported our Stronger Together initiative indicated (understandably) that you would not contribute as long as the CEO was at the club. You can use the link below to contribute to this initiative, either through a subscription or by making a donation. As confirmed before, the Trust Board will only use this to purchase shares in the club when it is has sought and received commitments from the club Board on behalf of the Trust's members: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/stronger-together

Unfortunately, I do remember this and cannot decide which one looked down on fans, shareholders and sponsors more. They both looked at supporters like they were something on the bottom of their shoe after walking through a cow field.

Why would they sack Gardiner? Not long before quitting and leaving us in this state The (former) Chairman said that Gardiner had been 'loyal' and had been doing a good job. That terrified me because it clearly demonstrated the huge disconnect between the board and the reality of the situation with the fans and Gardiner. Did he not hear fans singing 'Gardiner GTF' week after week? The first thing I thought any half decent board would do after relegation would be to get rid of Gardiner but nope, we doubled down and with 'delight' announced the Kelty move. Personally I think it was just easier for them to employ him, let him tell them how amazing he was doing. Nobody seemed to ever have the backbone to question him, his decisions, his attitude, his methods or his recruitment. Some people have been saying for years he's detrimental to the club, nobody listened. Just pathetic all round.

Sorry haven’t seen your message. There is availability for Annan and Dundee. You can pay in advance or on the day. Sorry we don’t do haircuts though.

Well HMS Sneck is well into the floods now. Morale has been difficult to maintain as the only communication links to the vessel are controlled by the CEO and Tesco's have had difficulties delivering the Whoosies.

I hate to remind people that I revealed the Aquifer problem many years ago and faced derision and disdain. Just hoping now that Gardiner steps on a potential crevice soon

Could we not have sold sections of the pitch to fans to raise a few quid?! The grass in my garden is from Tannadice - the first owner was a Utd player and helped himself to it at the end of the season.

Given today's news, and the comments we received from many who supported our Stronger Together initiative that they (understandably) would not contribute to the initiative whilst the CEO was at the club, now is a good time to "bump" this thread so you can easily see how to contribute.
