The Board of Directors at ICT would like to thank the fans for their patience at this difficult time.
Firstly we can confirm the resignation of our Chairman and Board member Ross Morrison. He leaves with our sincere thanks for the dedicated service he has given to the Club and we are indebted to him for his passion, tireless effort and crucial investment in the Club.
We can also announce that our CEO Scot Gardiner has tendered his resignation, which has been accepted by the Board. Scot is now serving his notice and will be continuing to help the Club get through this difficult period.
Following the continued restructuring of the club, including a revised football model and budget to take us into and beyond season 2024/25, the club is pleased to announce the sale of Season Tickets for this coming season from 10 am today, our historic 30th Year Anniversary year, with special thanks to Caley Jag Stewart Coghill for the brilliant 30th Anniversary logo.
While the last few weeks have been difficult for everyone connected to the club, as a Board and as a club, we now respectfully ask the supporters to rally around the team and the management, and a squad which will feature more Inverness and Highland players than we have had for many a long year and if ever we need the fans, it is now.
The striking new commemorative 30th Anniversary Puma ICT kits will also be revealed over the weekend and with hugely positive discussions currently ongoing with a number of potential new investors, we hope the Caley Jags fans can also rise to the occasion when we need you the most.
Season Tickets will be available on our ticketing website www.eticketing.co.uk/ictfc/ – which is powered by Ticketmaster Sport.
If you are an existing Season ticket holder we have reserved your existing seats.
I will wait to see what is happening with our club and confirmation that Gardiner has left the building before I renew
Well THAT Club Statement didn't say an awful lot!
Scott Gardiner still in residence.
We'll have lots of Inverness/Highland-based players this coming season.
Now please cough up and buy your season tickets.
And some Puma gear!
No actual confirmation that we'll be solvent next season. But that's not really any of our business, is it?
Yet again we're told nothing, but expected to cough up for season tickets without knowing; if we're entering adminstration, which players have been offered new contracts, which players have left, is the manager being kept on, when is the ceo actually leaving the building, who are these Inverness/Highland based players you mention. . . . ?
The level of contempt the club has for its fans is unbelievable!

I think it’s more the case that there’s not a lot they can say just now whilst discussions and deals are still in progress.
“hugely positive discussions currently ongoing with a number of potential new investors”
I don't think they would be selling season tickets if they did not expect to be solvent, as that would be a serious matter the directors - wrongful trading under the Insolvency Act.
Anyone else think that pricing structure is bizarre? Compare to last year's prices. Main stand prices lowered especially over 65s in main stand whilst almost the same for North?
Lowering the old 16-21 ( formally 16-25) even further looks like SG revenge on Young team to me.
At last a statement. However, in terms of due diligence, I think supporters need some answers before we invest.
1. Can we see the accounts for 2022/23 please?
2. Who has currently signed for the Club.
3. What is our Management Team?
I would respectfully also ask if a Trust Member will be on the new board even if new owners emerge.
Not a detailed statement but I’m just happy that it sounds like we will have a team to support next season 🙏
Would I be right in saying that if you did buy a season ticket ( once more detail comes out ) using a credit card then you would be able to get a refund if anything does go t*ts up ? .

Doubt it . I’ll be holding off for now and see when the ceo resign date is before parting with anything . What a crap statement to put out after all this time

No I think he/she is correct. You are protected if credit card and over £100.
They will take our money for season tickets and then hit us with news that Scott Gardiner staying on in a different role.

Article today regarding similar situation at Reading FC. Quote below from their supporters trust, STAR.
“We recommend that anyone purchasing a season ticket considers using a credit card for added security.
“If, for any reason, the Club cannot fulfil the season ticket, paying by credit card ensures that you would receive a refund (pro rata) under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.”

I've kept relatively silent (publicly) on this whole thing, but I sent the following email to the Supporters Trust earlier.
Ultimately it is a decision for each individual to make on whether to

If I recall most weren't asking for Morrison to go. Gardiner certainly and he hasn't gone, he's still there. I have asked the club how long his notice is and told that it's confidential 🤣. Kelty too o

The statement from the club today may not contain all we would like to hear and it may have the emphasis all wrong, but it brings much better news than we feared. The most positive part of the statem
