The adventures of Rooney and McCart at St Johnstone continue, with a trip to Istanbul for a great draw with Galatasaray. This comes just a few days after they played in Dingwall. So many “Welcome to Hell” signs in one week!

Sounds a positive session. Could anyone present provide any more detail? https://ictfc.com/ictfc-fans-focus-group-launches

Poor communication from the club, the ‘Supporters liasion officer’ and also the supporters trust, who I haven’t heard anything from at all since at least pre-covid

Absolutely, assuming it is in good faith and not a box ticking exercise and that the club not only listens to the concerns and suggestions of the fans but, where appropriate, acts on them.

Not sure what you're asking here. This is simply the club engaging constructively with the Supporters Trust and other fans' groups. Surely something to be welcomed by all?

Many thanks for posting this, Robert. As stated in the article, a summary of discussions from the 1st 2 meetings will be published by the club in the next 10 days and if anyone wants a bit more detail after that is published, I will do my best to provide it. This a very welcome and positive development. There has been a lot of criticism of the club in recent years over what is seen to be poor communication, and this initiative provides a regular platform for some constructive 2 way dialogue. Clearly a focus group meeting cannot involve everyone who may want to attend, but we have set up a new email account of [email protected] and would encourage anyone who has any general questions, concerns or ideas which you would like to be raised at a focus group meeting to send them to that address. I will collate the emails and liaise with Scot Gardiner to bring appropriate items to the group. Whilst not everyone can attend, everyone can be involved. With John Robertson and Board Director Gordon Fyffe attending meetings along with the CEO, this is a great platform to ensure that the club is listening to the concerns and ideas of the fans. Fans coming through the turnstiles are the lifeblood of the club and therefore it is important that the club understands what will bring people to the ground and what make them stay away. Equally, it is important that the club clearly communicates the reasons why it can't always deliver what people would like. The creation of the Fans Focus Group is a really positive initiative in enabling this 2 way dialogue, but it will only be a success if the club is made aware of questions, concerns and ideas and discusses them with fans' representatives. I'm glad to say, the first questions have already hit the inbox - so keep them coming! Peter Mutton - Chairman, ICT Supporters Trust
