ICT Supporters Trust urge ALL fans to take the time to complete the Scottish Football Supporters Survey which was launched by Supporters Direct Scotland today. It has been agreed that the questions in this survey will be set for 3 years to allow proper analysis to be done on what progress is, or isn't, being made in the areas being covered. http://www.scottishsupporters.net/survey/ Survey closes 16th September.

Partial to a bit of flower pressing to bud! Haha don't worry soon loose a few when I sing yogis praises or slag kellagher again still might as well enjoy the heady heights of plus 7 eh!

It is the duty of senior management to consult supporters. If, on top of that, supporters also write in and they get replies, all good and well. However, senior management being solely reactive, not proactive, does not meet with our charter’s codes.

I couldn't care less what the organisation is called as long as it's functioning and effective which, for whatever reason, wasn't the case for far too long.

Surely responsibility for communication now falls to the new CEO in the first instance? Think I am right in saying we have heard nothing from Yvonne Crook since her husband's cousin appointment her?

I would like to think you are being ironic but doubt it. A totally unnecessary comment based on no evidence at all. The board are just as much supporters of the club as we are. I have no personal connection to the board and will criticise them if required but comments like this do annoy me. Rant over.

What is it the Chairman and Board need to speak, tweet or communicate about currently? IMHO they only need to communicate when they have something they need to communicate about, ticket issues, player movements (not bowel), disciplinary issues and fan behaviour, club promotional offers and the like. And I guess issues around club management, which currently seems to be appointments. It's probably asking too much to be informed about financial matters on a regular basis, in fact is there any benefit to that I guess that last major statement from the club was a couple of weeks ago about the abuse aimed at Liam Polworth, which was timely. I know from experience elsewhere that a Chairman engaging too much also gets abuse because different people read different things into statements/comments, so you then end up with bland comments whereupon the accusation is that something is being hidden. Are we concerned that there is a secret conspiracy to run the team down, and re-develop the ground? Ownership of the ground does seem like a festering issue, is this something that needs more clarity. Personally in response to Glovers post, relationship with a club is important (by which I understand that to be the emotional links, and sense of family/unity) but communications from the Board have no impact at all on me deciding whether to travel 500 miles to watch the team (nor 5 miles to watch my other team). Mind you a sense of unity usually comes from the team doing well in which case most people agree that the Board and manager must be doing something right! So perhaps we need to clarify what it is we are really after, is it supporter representation on the board (which isn't necessarily about communication, more transparency), or more Club participation into local events, or more (some!) Q&A sessions, or more social media interaction, or closer match-day contact with board members? Are members of the board seen as real fans or opportunists? What should the board do that isn't seen as cynical manipulation?

The most sensible post on this thread by a long way. Some folk just seem more obsessed with off field matters than what happens on the pitch

He's the best keeper in our league.

"Aloof and arrogant" So this is the reason for attendances being down this year ? Seriously ? So what would make things better ? What kind of detail would you be expecting ? What do County do different that ICT dont ? For me , I m more interested in what Robbo has to say , before and after the game rather than whose going to supply the bog rolls this season. And how many ply they may have . Does the eminent Chairman, or chairperson nowadays, not put out a statement in every programme. What is required to make things more palatable for you Mr B ?
