Removing the pension age discount seems to me to be a very odd way of encouraging our older supporters to keep attending. And, for comparison, a pension age season ticket for the main stand at Ross County last season could be had for less than half the price ICT charged for the dubious pleasure of witnessing our League 1 struggles.

I often find myself in agreement with you, but in this case to say the facts show that Kell has done a great job is surely stretching it a little? The recent facts are that Kelty Hearts, who have no money, Montrose, who have no money, and Annan, similarly penniless, have all left Inverness with three points in their pockets! Despite these somewhat desperate performances we may still avoid a relegation playoff, due in large part to the poor standards of others.

In such an undeniably poor league such as this almost anyone should have a full time setup “fighting it out at the top of the table”. This is just the latest in what has been a succession of shockingly poor home performances, and I would argue that we should have left the relegation threat behind us weeks ago. There was little evidence of any game plan or structure on show today, and hearing his after match interview, in which he said we should maybe try to get more crosses into the box, and inject more pace into the play - well!!

Well, in a season full of poor performances, that just about takes top spot! Against a team who conceded 6 goals to bottom side Dumbarton last week we put them under no pressure, played at a pedestrian pace and got what we deserved. We are a full time outfit in a league full of part time dross, you only need to look at how Arbroath have run away with it to see that, and Kelty Hearts are a truly dreadful team, but we seem incapable of putting any distance between us and relegation play off place. And if “Kells” is the answer god only knows what the question is!

That was utter garbage and a dreadful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Nothing further to say

Very different, but must say I quite like it.

Sat through every home game so far this season, and my god it’s been a miserable experience. Under Dodds we were awful, but I have to say since Ferguson took over it has been worse. No idea what the on field plan is (if one exists), but there is no fight, no pace, no urgency and no clue. It’s not as if the opposition is anything special, but they don’t need to be. We look nailed on for the relegation play off place, and there is precious little to give confidence that we could survive that.

Chairman said that ultimate aim is to make the club self sustaining. Stressed that club now owns all the ground surrounding the stadium and intend to use some of the money as “seed capital” to take planned projects forward , which would generate income on an ongoing basis.

Further to the above: Each season in the Championship incurs a loss anywhere between £650,000 and £900,000. Season ticket money covers the first two months of the season only. Someone asked if rumour that we only had 3 months money in reserve were true. Chairman laughed and said he wished it was true! if council refuse permission at meeting on 14th, club are very confident that Scottish government will overturn that decision. Trouble is that will take 3-6 months, and we will have serious cash flow issues.

Now confirmed, left the club by mutual consent. No fee for us then.

Just about the worst game I have ever had the misfortune to attend. Embarrassing lack of quality, no excitement whatsoever, freezing cold, no wonder attendances are falling away. We really are a grim watch these days.

Staying with Puma for another four years! New home kit looks good I think.

Sadly not unexpected, but still a shock. A friend for many years,didn’t see him that often but always great to be in his company. Cheerful to the last, will be missed by all who knew him.

In the weakest Championship for years!

Away to Livingstone the “reward” for winning this. Weekend of 12th February.

Well, this is embarrassing.

Same here. Not only are we not one of the lucky 300, now they’re not letting us see the video

The day the governing body argues against fans being allowed back into grounds we’ll know the game truly is bust!

Satan is correct - tier one specifically allows for the return of fans to outdoor stadiums, subject to distancing of course. Interesting conversations to be had over the next week or so.

Ewan Murray Tweet The SPFL will pay £300k a year to satisfy Sky, has a BT claim, a BBC claim, a foreign rights claim and still no title sponsor in a pandemic. They are now subject to imminent damages claims from two clubs. You'd have to be very confident... BT claim believed to be in the region of £3 million! How in the hell have we arrived at this?! At least with null and void (which we were told was “unthinkable “) there would have been no forced relegations, therefore no damages claims from wronged member clubs. Hard to think of a worse outcome than the one we’ve been landed with.

Very hard hitting statement from our Chairman Ross Morrison tonight, basically confirming and endorsing everything Scot Gardiner said and tearing into the SPFL processes and procedures. Have a feeling tomorrow could be interesting!

No problem Jack.

Breaking news that one of our players is self -isolating after showing symptoms of the virus

Makes interesting reading. First time I have seen the actual number of season tickets (1453) made public, not a particularly impressive figure but hardly surprising. Statement is well written and contains a number of commitments, some of which we have heard before but hopefully will be followed through this time.
