There's getting an experienced manager but Billy Reid - Lol

There is absolutely nothing wrong with anyone who renews their season ticket at these prices for next season if they wish to do it. I will be renewing mine as I want to see my club survive and prosper. Appreciate some people will not want to or can afford to but that is their choice. If anyone is a belter it is you as I am at a loss as to why you even support ICT, if you actually do.

Anyone in the vicinity of the Heathmount might want to stick yer head in the door and see a few ICT heroes from out 1 div title winning team, Had a chat/beer with Charlie C, Barry Wilson, Bobby Mann, Stuart Caff, Liam Keogh, Richie Hart, Steve Hislop, Paul Richie, Davie Bingham, and they are all looking in good shape apart from Bobby ( which is no surprise eh)

Ryan Giggs is keen to get back into management and currently looking for a club - lock up yer sheep!

Are they having a get together to watch the big final this evening (Britains Got Talent)?!

Well here's hoping that one of the accounts main posters returns and carries on where he left off seeing as he practically built up the number of followers himself.

James McFadden that was sacked as an assistant to a dire Motherwell team that was almost relegated? That's appealing? What's his favoured system? What's his record on signings? His experience is severely limited. His success non-existent. His ability to play is gone. I see no reason why we would sign McFadden.

It seems that one of the main tweeters has left their post. Shame no one else was able to step in. I'm in no way having a go at the club about this but given how important social media is these days I was surprised not to see any activity on the ICT account about the competition. Some of the stuff has been a bit cringe over the years but for the most part it's a good account to follow and the club has become quite well known for it. Shame if things do go a bit quieter on this front in the future.

James McFadden as manager with Scott McDonald as player/assistant? Just a thought...

That's the spirit I'll defo be renewing look on the bright side wel defo win more games than last season! And maybe when we win the league which I think we will at a canter the board will then give us a bonus

Well said Caley 100. By buying our season tickets we show our support whilst Dougal just snipes away on the sidelines with nothing positive, as usual, to say or contribute.

Dougal, you are such a feckin peni5. I will be buying a season tkt, and what would be the point in taking 20 or 25 quid off the price? would that get another 250-300 buying season tkts? no! A fan has loyalty to the club (not you) and giving them support by buying a season tkt will help, We don not have a Roy Macgregor who can write off a million quid every year. Negative **** brains are not required, the board have sorted out one problem, give them a chance to move forward.

Should CJT not have done something like this 6 months ago when it was obvious we were headed for relegation? Their lack of communication has been equally as concerning as that of the Board's IMO!

What makes you think he'd be a better manager than Richie?

I think it's quite interesting that the folk who are, at least on Twitter anyway, disgusted that Foran was canned are the same ones celebrating Cameron leaving the club. Seems like they can't see the link between the two...

Lionel Jimmy Zabi for manager perhaps?

Having been a ST holder since the early days of div 3, I was resigned to not renewing this year if RF was still at the helm as the footie has been guff to say the least. When the announcement was made that RF had left the building, I changed my mind regardless of who the new manager would be. Only to find that I'm expected to pay SPL prices for Championship footie!! The club have taken our loyalty for granted for too long now. Consequently, unless there is a U-turn, I won't be renewing and will pick and choose which games I attend! Like other posters on here, I feel that once this malaise sets in then the "can't be bothered" syndrome may show it's head. Sadly, I expect ST numbers to be significantly down this season and as our attendances aren't the best this will inevitably have a long term effect on the club. Get a grip ICT!!

An interesting read on Stevie Aitken at Dumbarton and whether he might be a good fit for ICT. http://auchterarderchippy.com/2017/06/02/stretching-a-shoestring-does-stevie-aitken-deserve-a-shot-at-a-full-time-club/

New Chairman, new board members - same breathtakingly poorly constructed board statements, seemingly etched on the back of a cornflakes packet with crayons borrowed from sevco's press department. Does no one on the board actually proof read these statements before they're issued? I was under the impression that the board was littered with Fortune 500 captains of industry. Given they all seem to be retired/semi-retired heavy hitters surely they could wheel one of them into the stadium, between rounds of golf and afternoon G&Ts, to cast an eye over this opus before it's fired into the cyber world to echo through eternity. Suffice to say if someone put a statement of that quality in front of me at work they'd drown in a sea of red ink. If we move on to the actual content of said statement we quickly get to the following molten bronze pearl of wisdom..... "It is important that we select the right person for this key position.". Wow!, just wow! Although factually correct this could possibly be the greatest understatement since Captain Oates advised that he was going outside and might be some time. Given how poor their last selection was I would have thought the importance of not picking another clanger was abundantly clear to all and a more impassioned statement would have been appropriate at this juncture. Moving quickly to the retained playing staff, assuming we're successful in agreeing deals with Cammy MacKay and Kevin McNaughton that would leave us with 14 signed players, including three (3) goalkeepers. Perhaps a slight over provision in the goalkeeping region given the paucity of outfield players...just a thought. Least said about the ex Newport County retainee, soonest mended. I'm also intrigued by the "others targets" statement. Targeted by whom precisely? Rice? Kellacher? Tommy Cumming? a long serving G4S steward? It simply beggars belief that these guys think they're capable of identifying players who the new manager will ultimately have to work with. Retaining contracted players is one thing, bringing in square pegs to fit into a new manager's round holes seems to be a rather foolish enterprise, but hey, we're good at that these days. Enough already, I'm away for a lie down in a darkened room....

And you had the cheek to criticise billy reid! Could do without another inexperienced manager!

Your attitude epitomises everything that is wrong with certain sections of the ICT support The boards decision to freeze ticket prices to SPFL prices is an absolute disgrace but as long as belters like yourself just accept it well then they can get away with anything they want and they will continue to do so in the future Sadly we don't have football men in the boardroom anymore and it's obvious they can't communicate with the ordinary fan We will never know how many season tickets will be down this year because the board don't have the balls to release figures but it will be substantial due to this ludicrous decision whether you buy one or not Dougal

Since we're throwing any old feckin name in the hat.... how about Neil Warnock!

Big caleyD has hung up his media-team jeckit. The point I was trying to make is that there was always a big deal made about how so many people 'working' at the club were volunteers giving up their time for free. Then the day that people at the club were to be told whether they were being kept on or not, a volunteer resigns...hmmm....
