There is so much I agree with in the above, when we won the SC I had tears in my eyes having watched the triumphs and failures of previous years and knowing where the club had come from and I am not the emotional type. BUT things have changed a great deal from those early years. I liked to stroll up pay my admission and stand at a match and be entertained, that is no longer an option. The craic by the support towards opposition fullbacks and wingers is no longer tolerated by overbearing, untrained stewards, sit down, shut up is the order of the day. Then there was the whole JH/RF fiasco, as many on here will know I was a strong supporter of JH and his style for ICT which could have been a template for many years to come but Oh no the board played to the crowd by appointing RF and got exactly what they deserved. I once wrote to KC, didn't even get an acknowledgement of my letter, how's that for a community club? Allied to the above we have rubbish catering which is far too expensive plus the standard of Scottish football currently is complete pants, our nation is a footballing backwater and until we start to play football a la the style that JH tried to impose at ICT we will drift ever further backwards in the footballing world. Look at the record of Scottish clubs in Europe it's an embarrassment and the way most clubs play the game for the sake of financial survival will ensure it dies a slow lingering death with most clubs becoming part time simply because the public will no longer be conned by the pundits that the game in this country is worth bothering about. Until we start producing players prepared to accept responsibility for the ball in tight situations and the requisite skill level that demands our game is going nowhere. Scottish rugby has shown the way to their footballing counterparts, skill, risk taking and entertainment will bring people back to the game, we need to go backwards before we can move forwards (pun intended).
