It's taken them a while but it finally looks like they've made a decent appointment in Big Dunc and there is now an air of optimism about the club. Hopefully results will continue to improve and more spectators will be tempted back to the Longman on matchdays. As a long-time supporter of Caley and then ICT, I personally couldn't care less about the mechanics of the upper management structure, or what they get up to on matchdays. My interest goes no further than the team on the pitch and that's what I pay to see and financially support. Continue your one-man campaign against Gardiner and Robertson by all means, but by doing so you are, sadly in common with the majority of Invernessians, not supporting your local team.

I was out walking the dog and found a few noses lying on the ground. I presume there are a few people going around without any noses.

How is this helping the team. It seems that we have a core of "supporters " who profess to support the team but won't actually attend any games as they believe, in that doing so, they give support to the board. What garbage, if more fans actually attended games, instead of finding reasons to not attend, we may be in a better position financially and be able to challenge the board more robust. Whatever you think of the board, the majority have invested substantially in the club, with little hope of any return. True, they have made mistakes and communication is terrible but they have put their money into the club. It's a pity some fans don't want to put theirs into the club because they don't like the board or CEO.

A lot of welcome positivity on the board. Congratulations to all for what seems like a substantial improvement in confidence and mood at the club in a few short weeks. I have to say that, looking at the highlights, on chances, a profligate Utd must wonder how they didnt win the game. They should return to the premier and our target must be the top 4 which now looks achievable. I echo the call for better attendances at home. I am a very infrequent attendee these days due to other commitments but it would take a lot to see me get into my car and spend the whole day negotiating the increasingly frustrating A9. At the end of the journey our stadium is a bleak, unattractive and atmosphereless venue. Great when its full and rocking but when was the last time it looked anything like that? Time for the club to capitalise on our improvement on the field by offering a more attractive product off it ; really showing some ambition. That might entice me to roll the Austin Allegro out of the garage one more time to head north.

We’re all agreed that the board need to grow a set and sack the charlatans that are bleeding us dry so forgive me my moment of euphoria as I’ve just spent several weeks in hospital and Saturday was a real treat. A real pint in a real pub and a real fitba stadium in a real fitba city. However my comment was aimed at stayaway ST holders of whom there must be a fair number going by the deserted stands which are at odds with the crowds announced by the club. These fans have already spent the money anyway, as I did in a moment of madness, although I hardly ever get up the road these days. They may as well be at the stadium lending a bit of atmosphere laced with hopefully a few anti- Gardiner chants rather than the morgue it is at present. Alternatively, go and back the team at away games where it’s only the players that benefit, not the club. The main thing for me is to compete in the championship. To use your analogy, if the paper stops covering the cracks we’ll soon be part time in the seaside leagues.

Wow. Borders man buys £500 helicopter on eBay 😂 p.s. they also have these things called trains…

I’ve always wondered which finger they put the ring on. I mean they’ve got a choice.

@STFU Was Gardner and Robertson playing? Didn't realise they were on the pitch for that great result? Or is this not the match thread? Always get confused here. Sure it's the sane for you.

I've not once tried to defend my position by saying it's supporting the team, because it's not. I've also not once said I'm taking my stance against the board, other than our anonymous Chairman. What I am refusing to do is make any contribution towards the salaries of Gardiner or Robertson. The former treats the fans with absolute disdain and has overseen huge losses, and the concert fiasco which means there are many local companies who will no longer have anything to do with the club. The latter seems to be picking up a wage for doing nothing and spends more time over the bridge than he does at our games. I'm all for diversifying the business, but battery farms, freeports and Robertson commentating on County matches isn't going to bring fans back. If the decision makers think dropping fan numbers and fan income are worth it to have Gardiner and Robertson as employees, then either they're missing the point of a football club, or I am. Or maybe they just prefer watching home matches in silence?! It's their money keeping the club afloat (for now), so their choice I guess.

Crystal Palace. Jesus wept, there’s two of them now. Go for who put the O and Y. The tune is “What shall we do with the drunken sailor” which is probably meaningless to anybody under 50…

Excuses, excuses my boy 😂. The A9 is better than it ever was…

You're entitled to your view, and maybe there is some merit in burying ones head in the sand and blindly following the on pitch activities with no regard to the clubs long term viability. However, the club are not entitled to be supported just because they exist. And in that regard, what they are getting is the support they deserve. In my opinion, if anyone is letting the team down, it's the off field decision makers who have created an ever growing disconnect between the club and the city.
