RiG is usually right with these predictions although everybody wants Bonnyrigg away, probably including Bonnyrigg themselves. Although maybe their hardy band of fans will fancy another day out like last year. Bonnyrigg pub guide incoming if it happens.

Not much else places that Gardiner & Co. will see a sign calling for their heads. Can't imagine they're especially welcome at most city center establishments...

I don't really care about Gardiner. I don't see him going means anything. As the lads said later, if he needs ideas, then ask for them before announcing something like this. If Kelty was in the works no matter the Division, then ask for help the year before. Come to a deal with hotels. Ask for digs. Get the equivalent of a Supporters Trust that other clubs have, where you pay a lot more for a real voice. The whole idea is NOT related to relegation. If we get promoted from Division One, then we're still in the same avenue as previously, i.e., a move to Kelty no matter what. If we then got to the SPL, then you cannot just move back to Inverness with the whole squad in Fife. It's a permanent deal. The only way we go back is if we are hopeless in Division One, maybe even relegation to Division Two. Who wants that? Get someone in that knows about developing young talent, that can identify Highland League players and bring up others from elsewhere, e.g., Central Belt, Aberdeen, England etc. That's certainly not Ferguson. We need a modern Pele. Maybe Graeme Stewart's opportunity?

Roundabout at Kessock Bridge .More needed in strategic places around the town !!

Would appear he's surrounded by a bunch of Yes Men if "90% of people he discussed it with have agreed"

I’m surprised that no-one with expertise in subtitling has produced an ICT version of the famous “Downfall” clip.

Technically it has now provided income for the club, but only because it has diverted income through another source. I agree that the purchase will protect any BESS profits from the administrators but it also raises the potential that any major profit ends up in the pockets of the directors. I should say that I don’t for one minute suggest that they would not put the money back to the club, but it opens the door to suspicion. The point here is that after all the publicity and controversy over the BESS project, the directors changed the ownership and kept quiet about it. If the change of ownership was good for the club then why not immediately announce the move and explain the benefits for the club? Cynics would say that people only keep quiet when they have something to hide.

Sorry, I couldn't resist it!

At least they're all close!

next to the longman roundabout just on stadium road where we used to advertise our games with a tiny banner

Not sure about that - if the battery farm proceeds and generates a huge lump sum after administration, the proceeds would go to Ross Morrison who has security over it. So it would not be in his interest for the club to have sold it on the cheap. The directors buying it have taken a huge gamble, there is a fair chance it is worth zilch, time will tell. Another observation - the battery farm project has generated £250,000 income for the club, which whilst a lot less than was intended, means it has been very worthwhile, vindicating the decision to pursue it?

Now that the league cup fixtures are announced for 13/14 July, most teams come back for pre season about 4 weeks before that. Gets everyone together, normally a few friendlies with highland league teams etc. That means everyone is due back roughly mid June, which is only a couple of weeks away!!!!!! Training venue still not clear, only a few players under contract, staff unclear as to wether they have employment in Inverness or Fife, no new players (that have been announced), signed up to make a full squad!!! What an absolute shambles this is. I imagine they still have to move the entire footballing side of things down the road……. When is all that happening. Desperate stuff.

What fence is that on?

Gives us a chance to scope out the Annan players we keep missing out on.

In his Courier interview, the Chairman said that he and the 2 other directors had bought the battery company for £250,000 because the club needed the money. If these directors have that money to buy the battery company, why not simply give money to the club? I don’t have much understanding of business practices, but it is clear they didn’t buy the company because the club needed the money. Is it because they anticipate the club going into administration and any profit from the battery farm being used by the administrators to pay off the creditors? it seems that everything the Chairman says raises more questions than it provides answers

Well done Achfary. Brilliant detective work and sums up the fans feelings exactly.

Latest fan reaction to the Proposed move to the Kingdom of Keltydonia..... and this is how we we will get rid of the fans!

I realise this sort of thing has to be kept simple to get responses. Online surveys can be tedious. However a bit of detail I could have added to the two figures: There was an offer for ST holders to pay an extra £90 for hospitality on Feb 3 v Queen's Park. I contacted Keith Haggart and expressed an interest on behalf of 3 of us (3X £90 = £270). But in the event the hospitality was cancelled due to lack of interest. He did offer Airdrie in March but we couldn't make that one. I suggested that we potentially had a home tie on Feb 10th (which turned out to be Hibs) but never heard any more about that. EDIT - not sticking the knife in. Following the draw being made, the Hibs game would likely sell out anyway.

9 years since we won the cup and almost 9 since we had our first sniff of Europe. Not expecting we get Europe any time soon, but sure as hell know its an impossibility with the Muppet Show going on at the club right now. Sackable offence after sackable offence but the Gardinerball keeps on rolling, unfortunately.

I have no basis for this but I have a feeling we'll be away to Dundee and Annan and home to Bonnyrigg and Arbroath. Suspect we are all hoping for a trip to Midlothian though!

Big capital letters for the above!

The text below is from an e-mail shared with members yesterday, but we welcome responses to the survey from all fans:

This is on the money. I absolutely believe that no positive change will happen at the club until Morrison manages to see the light with Gardiner and bin him. I really can't fathom why he is so besotted by him, he has a constant, long running record of failure in every aspect. He's soured every relationship the club as and I can't think of one thing that he's done which has improved the club. However Morrison says that he's 'been loyal to the club' well I'd be loyal too if my employer was paying me allegedly close to £100k a year and it didn't matter how big a failure I was. I can only assume Gardiner is holding one of the Chairman's children hostage or has compromising pictures or something. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! After we were relegated I fully expected to quickly hear the Gardiner was going - do we really need an expensive CEO in League 1 anyway?! Gardiner is a toxic, pathetic failure in our club who has turned us into a laughing stock and sadly after 15 years, I won't be back at Caledonian Stadium until he's gone.
