I have today written (by snail mail) to Mr Finlayson expressing my concerns, including much of what you refer to, in my letter. Not only about Season Tickets, but communication (or the lack of it!), the lack of progress on the management structure the club sees etc (not just the manager appointment), and some other issues. It will be interesting to see if I get a reply in due course. I'll keep you posted.

Are the board deliberately trying to find out the size of the hard-core support isby repeatedly challenging the loyalty of the season ticket holders? I would dearly love to get behind a refreshed team and manager next season, but frankly feel entirtely undervalued and taken for granted by the Club at this moment in time. The series of poor decisions and continuing silence from the Club does not inspire confidence or enthusiasm for the season to come. Get a grip!

Kenny's biggest mistake in all this is being too loyal to RF and its a mistake many of us might have made as we desperately wanted him to achieve success. At worst, Kenny let his heart rule his head and the rest is history. He has been at the club for a little less than 2 decades so to say he has a lack of understanding is incorrect. It is also unfair to put the blame on the lack of communication on him. He vacated the building after the final game of the season and what has happened since is in the hands of the remaining directors. I think many of them may have underestimated just how much work Kenny put in at the stadium, how much time he spent there, and how much communication actually went out because of his hands on approach or his availability ... its going to be a steep learning curve for them too, especially the new directors and whilst we are all understandably critical of the transition right now you can be sure there are quite a few folk working their socks off behind the scenes to get things in order.

Agreed. I'm not sure what events you're referring to but while KC has to take some responsibility for appointing RF I'm not sure what he has to do with current ST prices and poor communication. I'd have imagined the new administration would have set them. In fact if I recall the last time we were relegated and KC was in charge the prices were dropped quite considerably.

Unbelievable that the courier has more info than club website.

Kilmarnock manager Lee McCulloch is to make talent scout Steve Marsella, who has worked with Hibernian and Inverness Caledonian Thistle but just left English National League outfit Halifax Town, his first signing. (Daily Express, print edition)

Kenny can take NO responsibility for the ST price decision, the complete bungling of the crucially important announcement of that controversial move or the more or less total information blackout there has otherwise been since relegation and his departure. That has all been under the new watch. The lack of information, communication or even acknowledgement that the fans and the public exist, cannot be laid at the door of the departure of CaleyD (although there was a rumour that he may not remain departed.) It's not rocket science putting stuff out to the media or on social media and I'm sure plenty people could have done this - if asked to do so from boardroom level. Ross County, for instance, issued three press releases today alone - and all directly to newsdesks, avoiding the complete nuisance of constantly checking the cybersphere. So we now know that Roy MacGregor will have another face to face with the fans at a Supporters' Open Meeting, that County have appointed Emily Wilson as their new General Manager and that NEW sales of the £200 Jail End STs have risen to 300. And that's just today's ration. This is all information which it's in the club's interest to volunteer, but I am enough of a conspiracy theorist also to note that, for instance, today's three releases show that County are 1) Communicating with their fans, including directly via the Chairman. 2) Are dealing with and publicising major appointments quickly and efficiently and 3) Are (OK with more than a little apparent help from a benefactor) attempting to increase their market share, especially in the face of the open goal which has voluntarily materialised in Inverness. Quite clearly County are specifically seeking to exploit ICT's weaknesses to their own advantage and who can blame them? It's called competition. Meanwhile on this side there's been a complete clampdown with everything remaining in the dark - to ICT's huge peril and disadvantage. I'm mystified as to why the new Chairman, as one of his first priorities, didn't set up and publicise a face to face open meeting with the Inverness fans. I certainly know very little about him apart from an unconfirmed anecdote that he lives in Edinburgh. But even if there was really quite little to say, the gesture and being seen to have made it, would have addressed at least some of the mounting dissatisfaction we are seeing. If Roy MacGregor can do this as a matter of course, surely it's far more urgent at a critical moment for Caley Thistle? Having observed the development of this club since before it was even born, I am quite dismayed that the critical, indeed potentially fatal, issue of obvious supporter disillusionment has now been ignored over the 23 vital days since relegation - which will best be remembered for a complete car crash of an announcement about season ticket prices. (By the way at the time of the last relegation, George Fraser was the Chairman.)

'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

There will be an announcement tomorrow.

Have we elected a new manger?

Its not the taking of time thats the problem tho its the complete silence

Don't disagree with what you say Scotty, but as a supporter of ICT and Caley over the last sixty years, I really fear for our club. The directors do not keep the supporters informed what is happening within the club. We are desperate to know who our next manager is going to be. But all we have is silence. Nice to see Kilmarnock are going to get Steve Marsella, and they have told the world. Personally I feel at tis moment our directors would find it hard to manage a juvenile club.

It's just over four weeks until the League Cup groups kick off and we seriously need to get the finger out. Some of the other sides in the Championship are making some impressive looking signings already. The sooner we get a manager in the better so we can start getting some players in ourselves.

They would certainly be motivated to prove houston was wrong to release them! I don't read anything into Falkirk releasing them, maybe (as another poster said)it's budget issues. Some players 'fit' better at some clubs than others...

If you want any news on the pre season fixtures looks like you should check out the Caley Thistle website Inverness Courier: http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/Sport/Football/We-want-to-stay-on-Caley-Thistle-coach-Kellacher-07062017.htm Forres (A) 01/07 Brora (A) 04/07 Nairn (A) 07/07 Elgin (A) 08/07 Any other games?

Seems to be a common theme already this season. After a fairly optimistic outlook, I now fear for the future of this season and the club if this is an indication of how the board are going to run the club and treat the fans

Cheers. Someone gave me chairmans direct email so have sent of an email the size of war and piece and await patiently a reply. Although i could be a pile of skin and bones by the time i get 1

To echo what virtually everyone else has said. The decision to keep the season ticket prices the same as last season especially in light of that there will be less home games covered by a season ticket this year (not even mentioning we are in a lower league) is staggering to say the least. The Caley Thistle support is not the largest even at the best of times and measures such as this will push away people who have been very loyal to the club. It is unlikely to impact on how many people say they support us but it will certainly impact attendances. Being the most expensive in the league will likely tarnish our reputation among supporters of other teams in the Scottish leagues.

that is a surprising record.....but the boy is still a plonker. Should have been sent off on Saturday, but the early booking did effect him. By the way, even though he is a proper one, I agree he probably is our best midfielder

He might be a plonker at times but he's also our best midfielder. To describe him as a liability is nonsense. 53 caps, 6 yellows, no reds. For a hard tackling, combative midfielder that's a very good record at any level.

I dont see how Kenny Cameron can be blamed? The lack of communication has been since his departure imho

Hi alan . Thought i would use your pic on grinder but seen you were already there . Shame but all the boys seem to like you.......
