Ok so we all know now what we'd like to do if we were in total control of our club, we all see theres problems at all levels and among us are sharp minds like CaleyD/Scotty/lots of you who see the internal "politics" (aka egotistical bullshit) within the club from those more concerned about position rather than delivery is killing off what little potential we have left.
Why is it fans looking to buy a scarf on a Thursday have to ask half a dozen employees to unlock a portacabin to do so? Or queue for 15 minutes out in the open air to buy a pie on matchday? Why do those fans then have to go sit in a stand built out of wood and sheet iron which feels like it could be blown down at any moment? Do safety certificates expire ffs... temporary stands presumably do. Why is it when we land ourselves a player who is fit to show at Euro 2008 the question of 'should we try and keep him' is actually asked...
Lets not play a game of point the finger or repeat the facts that every club who has come up after us excluding Gretna has progressed beyond where we are now on and off the park, lets get real and ask WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?
The sobering truth is theres very little we can do, the trust is as toothless as I warned it would be aslong as it required permission to have a larger stake in the club and the rest of us have no other outlet. We can only sit back and take what garbage is given to us, aslong as we are willing to sit back and take it.
I've said all along the only power we have as a group of supporters is in being able to vote with our feet and our wallets, if David Sutherland wants to play Marius Nicolae as a noose round the neck of the clubs finances in the media then how would he and the rest spin a couple of thousand fans staying away every week?
If anybody at the club needs to be put in their place it certainly isnt us and nobody else really matters in the long run, if the ICT board/shareholders really thought there was a threat of wide scale supporters unrest then theyd soon be dancing to a different tune, sadly as the years have passed its never been an issue and the importance of the fans to the clubs survival has been forgotten.
As a group, not just those on this site but the 000's who sit in the barns every week, we've been taken for granted since we reached the SPL and we really cant stand for it anymore. I'm hardly calling for people to march around outside the stadium on matchdays calling for heads but its important to realise that its all of us who are currently 'in complete control of ICT' no matter what David Sutherland says in the press. As Colin Montgomery once said "You're here because of me ok? Remember that"
