Personally, I think the MacGillvrays, Alan Savage, David Sutherland should hang their heads in shame over this situation. This is all arising from their personal dislike of each other and should have no place in the running and future of ICT. The club is not their plaything for them to boost their egos by getting one over on each other. My understanding is that the owner of Tullochs now were unaware of the situation with the stands and do genuinely want to offload them to the club but why they are then insisting on the conditions they now are is beyond me. Perhaps they have an allegiance to the three musketeers mentioned above. The current board and chairman have a real poisoned chalice on this one as this situation was certainly not of their making. I do genuinely believe we are starting to get a board in place who can drive the club forward after the mismanagement of past boards and hope this does not deter them.

Keep the Caley ones as they are priceless but the club could sell the Jeggie ones as firelighters.

You are spot on there Huisdean. Over the years, the club has had the goodwill of these major Inverness businesses through leading figures within them. It would be hugely beneficial if they could all pull together to the benefit of the club but, unfortunately, the opposite seems to be the case and long running antipathy appears to be a significant motivating factor in the current spat. One vital consideration in a saga which has now been ongoing for almost 20 years has, however, been largely ignored. In the early 2000s, the club was crippled by a debt somewhere in the range £2.3 - £3M (accounts vary). Without that being "sorted", the club would have gone into administration or even liquidation. The only thing that extricated it from that near-death experience was the intervention of Tullochs, the only game in town, who "disposed" of the debt, provided over £700,000 working capital to ease cash flow and ensured that the North and South stands were built. Some people may not like this fact, but interventions from Tullochs, valued at £5.3 - £6M (again accounts vary) ensured, in five years, a transition from a massively indebted financial basket case destined for the knacker's yard to a debt free club playing SPL football in an SPL compliant stadium in Inverness. The ICT piper has been paid pretty handsomely and I would suggest that he who has done so could have called a much more demanding tune, remembering also Tullochs' donation of 730,000 shares to the ICT Trust and offer of the stadium fabric to the club. I suppose the bottom line question has to be - what would people have preferred? Administration/liquidation in 2000/01 or, 16 overwhelmingly successful seasons later, a question over the car parks, Tullochs' response to which has included a commitment not to leave the club without infrastructure?

Sitting in the airport now waiting on my flight over. I'd be gutted if this game gets called off. We would make a day of it anyway but this is my first trip over since August so I really wanna see the team in the flesh again

Looking forward to the club's triumphant arrival at Hilton Pitches as we look to win our first Highland League title in 2021!

Carl hasn't quite shown the level of form he had before his injury but clearly his return has significantly strengthened our defence. His signing is a huge boost. I think his value is not just what he does as a defender but the influence his attitude has on others.

Narrow minded is your usual insult give it a rest

will never tire of these videos : These were videos I took myself from the stands. The first was just after the 2nd goal was scored a few seconds ahead of the final whistle Waiting for the cup to be presented : A really long video of the presentation and aftermath

Its not really Canadians getting the better of the US ... its like the NHL (Hockey) and MLB (Baseball) where Canadian teams compete alongside US teams in a 'domestic' league spanning two countries. Our starting lineup for the final had 6 Americans, 1 Iranian, 1 Congolese, 1 Spaniard, 1 Italian, and 1 Canadian. The subs who came on were American, Panamanian and French ! It IS however the first time a Canadian based club has won either the MLS Cup or the Supporters Shield let alone both ... and with the American supporters blaming both Michael Bradley (USA Captain) and Jozy Altidore in recent weeks for their failure to qualify for the World Cup and dishing out dogs abuse to them at every turn, some of it disgusting and very personal .... it was great that Jozy scored the first and that Bradley was absolutely immense on the day. They definitely know that the TFC fans appreciate them ... Victor Vazquez getting the second goal deep into injury time to calm the nerves and kick of a huge celebration was also fitting as many see the former Barcelona and Brugge player as the final missing piece of the team from last year that got to the final only to fall at the last hurdle. My favourite part of the final was actually on the victory parade a two days later where Jozy - still drunk from Saturday - trolled our rivals Montreal, and declared himself TFC for life !

I think everyone should just park at Tullochs headquarters on match ay and get a supporter bus arranged to ferry us to the games. Tulloch don' care about the club it's obvious and their refusal to deny the removal of the car parks speaks volumes

Mckay.....small "k" ?
