Nothing has been heard from Muirfield Mills, or the club for that matter regarding the proposed 6 figure investment for quite a while now, and i have been wondering why!

Was all the posturing and so called positive vibes coming from DS just a piece of ' P R ' and did he really encourage new investment? anyway look like the deal is dead and although Orions further sponsorship is welcome it will be used for the day day to day running of the club, not in any way to develop the club from its in reality, poor state.

When i say poor state i can see us no further forward than when we first gained promotion to the SPL and returned to Inverness for our home games, the catering is amateur, the shop is an eyesore, the training ground is a rough field next to the sea 14 miles away from the stadium, whilst it is very prudent to live within our means and not to fall into financial meltdown like some other teams surely we need to create a more professional club and try to increase our fan base.

The crowd on saturday scraped over 3000 which is the lowest league game crowd i have seen there, fair enough the weather played a part in this, and January is always a tough month for most of us, however the trend is decreasing attendances for us and i'm sure the club have seen this.

This season has seen our squad hit by injuries like no other team in the SPL has ever had, long term, short term, recurring injuries its must be so frustrating for the management to plan round this, we will be putting out a pretty makeshift team against Celtic on saturday with Williams not available, Billy Mackay out, Dorran out as well add to this our other players out, Golobart, Shinnie, Hogg, its a crazy situation.

It made me wonder if our poor training set up has anything to do with this problem, we train on a pretty rough field at Fort George with no showering or toilet facilities whatsoever, does this cause an extra strain on the players?

One would think with our chairman being the main land developer in the highlands he might provide some land slightly nearer the stadium to give the team a more professional training set-up, or is the club in the middle of an ego battle and further investment for ICT is not in the plan?

I have demanded that the names of the vigilantes has to be declared within 7 days or I will be "outing" them all.

Charlie - Aint cahnging ma signature till the fat gypsy sings !!

I meant the year book with Football Times and "the PINKY" stuck down with the bottled glue with the big pink rubber, acquired from the art lessons.

Caleyboy - I think the figure that you mentioned was a wee bit on the excessive side. The rest is accurate !!

I expect names to be revealed publicly early next week.

This definitely needs to happen for reasons of transparency and for the avoidance of unfounded conspiracy theories which have already started online and on the ground in Inverness.

Job done

Strange CD hasn't given us the correct info if he knows mine is wrong!

The correct info..........Sandy Catto and other board members of ICT took up the 250k budgetry shortfall last year with interest free loans to the club. Its nothing secret and was noted in the accounts. Though individual names were not given. I believe these loans were made before Muirfeild Mills came on the scene.

I hope they are ready to hit the road running because the current ICT Board have resigned en masse this morning.

I wondered why a few expensive looking cars left the stadium in a hurry this morning when I drove by. You should have seen the dust cloud they left.

For those who hadnt sussed I thought CDs post would be a April 1st wind up so added a bit more.

Who said that the Catto contributors werent the Muirfield Mills as well ?

How about you providing the source of your information?

My information is a matter of public record and anyone can go check it any time they like.

My source of information is one of the unnamed contributors from Latvia.

Thanks for that Alex I stand corrected. What a pity CD didn't provide the answer.

You didn't ask a question, you made a statement (as you often do) and that statement was wrong (as you often are)....I merely pointed that out.

A fact (derived from the Latin factum) is something that has really occurred or is actually the case. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability, that is whether it can be proven to correspond to experience. Standard reference works are often used to check facts. Scientific facts are verified by repeatable experiments.

In philososphy, the concept fact is considered in epistemology and ontology. Questions of objectivity and truth are closely associated with questions of fact. A "fact" can be defined as something which is the case, that is, a state of affairs.

Facts may be understood as that which makes a true sentence true. Facts may also be understood as those things to which a true sentence refers. The statement "Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system" is about the fact Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system.

Misunderstanding of the difference between fact and theory sometimes leads to fallacy in rhetoric, in which one person will say his or her claim is factual whereas the opponent's claim is just theory. Such statements indicate confusion as to the meanings of both words, suggesting the speaker believes that fact means "truth," and theory means "speculation."

Co-incidentally - I am never wrong, I once actually thought that I was wrong but it turned out that I was mistaken.

Very good of you to point that out - maybe you could give me some examples of my "wrong statements" so that I don't make any in the future

There's three on this thread alone and the one about Kenny Cameron being replaced by Richard Smith is another....not the best of strike rates!!!

Feck me - Bye Bye caleyboy - three strikes and you are OUT !!

Och what an idiot - imagine getting something so wrong in ONE thread! Don't think I said Smith was taking over immediately so maybe you shouldn't be so quick to knock this one into touch.

If I didn't know better I'd say IHE was posting on your account....you'll be trying to convince us next that you misread the tea leaves

Or maybe just some.....

You are so so funny. Maybe you should change to a three wheeler which would probably be more appropriate for someone of your age.

cant be @rsed reading the childish bickering ... take it elsewhere please ! perfectly good private messaging system on here so the rest of us dont need to be involved in reading it !

So where is the list of names ?

Maybe the actual members of MM would prefer to remain anonymous, perhaps Mr Savage prefers to stay in the background until DS departs?

The are Jaggie 1, Jaggie 2, Jaggie 3, Jaggie 4 and Jaggie 5!

I reckon from memory one of them lived on Muirfield Road, one lived on Annfield Road and another lived on Oldmills Road.

Charles. "No can do." would have been sufficient.

Your liberal, lengthy loqaciousness is making me feel inadequate. Again!

Do you employ journalistic jockeying as a jousting manoeuvre or doth thou simply jest-eth? In juxtaposition, like?

Hoi! The thread is turning into a real jolly jape,
