Charles, the club did not issue any press release on this. Kenny only provided a comment. What the club published can be found at http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/1846-tulloch-homes-to-gift-stands-to-club The Stadium is, for all intents and purposes, the bricks and mortar......i.e. 3 stands (yes, I know that 2 of them have no bricks and mortar). As the land is held under leasehold, it has been seperate to the buildings thereon since day 1. The £6 Million figure appears to be an arbitrary headline figure generated by the paper for effect and not one provided by the Club or Tulloch. Unfortunately this has caused a great deal of confusion...with one BBC seeming to think we had just had £6 Million of debt wiped out when speaking to me in Perth on Saturday. When I explained the situation, he as good as told me he'd just have to ignore the full facts as he "couldn't put it into a single sentence". Whilst there's no doubt that the club have partaken in a fair bit of "smoke and mirrors" in the past, they are amateurs at it when compared to the press/media when it comes to hyping up a story. Despite the constant claims from the press that they serve the fans and are important in making sure fans are kept informed.....producing Sales/Views/Listening figures have long been a bigger priority than truth, clarity and understanding......what chance do fans have when that's the case?

The team need to show us something to get remotely excited about. I've not witnessed too much of this great home performances. We are very fragile and easily turned over. We are in trouble and Hamilton game is as important as all of our remaining games but it does take on an extra dimension now. Three wins in sixteen league games is relegation standard. Four defeats in a row is relegation standard. Conceding the most goals in the league is relegation standard. Taking points off Celtic will not guarantee our Premiership status. As disappointing as they are, injuries are part and parcel I'm afraid and the problem created by no money and hence a weak and wafer thin squad just exacerbates that. Leaving the stadium in the 90th minute against Aberdeen does send out a message to the players. It should tell them that the fans are not happy with what we are seeing. Fair game if you ask me. Will I stay for another couple of minutes to watch joyous Aberdeen players and fans. Not likely, I'd rather poke my eyes out with a jaggy nettle. I'll still turn up and give it a go, but the standard of play and the way we go about it is making it difficult to give me much hope for the future. Prove me wrong please. Disgruntled.

Criticising the team on this forum is fair enough (I do it myself) but it would carry a bit more weight if people supported the team a bit more on match days. Let's face it, we don't exactly provide much encouragement for the guys on the park, especially when they really need a lift from the crowd. We've actually played some pretty decent stuff at home this year and it has been a good bit more entertaining to watch than last season. Yet crowds are poor, we make very little noise and as soon as the performance drops of a bit we moan like hell. I have to say I was rather embarrassed when Aberdeen's 3rd goal went in the other week and about half of the already sparse home crowd got up and headed for the gates. I know it was disappointing, but just what message does that give to the players! We are a small club with a small budget and a small squad which is currently badly hit by injuries. It's at times like this that the team really need to see and hear the support of the fans. Next week's match against Hamilton is now one we really need to win or we could risk becoming isolated at the bottom. Hamilton are also struggling having only won twice all season so this is a game we would normally be expecting to win. It will be depressing in the extreme if we lose. So let's get behind the team rather than getting on their backs. We want our team to do well, so lets give them a bit of help and show our positive support on Saturday.

That's nearly as stupid as calling it the Global Energy Stadium.....nobody's that daft, imagine how stupid you'd look if you had a power cut!!

For an excellent example of the "Midfielders not working hard enough to provide protection" check out how little effort Vigurs puts in to follow his man for the Saint Johnstone opener today.

Agree with most of this tbh. I do think Caleyaway did a fairly good job yesterday of encouraging the guys. There was singing and chanting up until the 3rd goal. Players expressing their gratitude of the support on twitter. Would be nice if we could carry this on at home.

Caley Park.

Thats some school Yngwie. Who won the fags and crack?

Are you retired geezers actually able to stand

Good news indeed, there are things going on in the background that we know nothing about! As long as anything done is for the best of the club to keep us financially stable for the future.

The option wasn't on the list....but I think we have the worst defensive record because we've conceded more goals than anyone else!

The money saved simply has to go back to the fans, whether it's through lowered ticket prices, or subsiding something like a display or the buses

Friday's official announcement only makes reference to the three stands and not to the lease which was held by the ICT Trust from which Tullochs may now be arguably indistinguishable??? Information released on Friday seems to tell me nothing at all about any change in arrangements for the lease of the ground which I last thought was held by the Trust/Tullochs.

In his defence, m'lud, he had to change his boots twice in the process, according to the outlined photos that is......................then nearly got back into the bargain so surely he cant be that slow!!.....he remains not guilty on this occasion your worship.
