I'm sure we all have thoughts and ideas regarding the football club so why not take up the offer of speaking directly to them via it's newest director. Scott seems genuinely interested in the views of the fans and as a season ticket holder himself this doesn't come as a huge surprise. 

This is open to all fans and not in any way restricted to Trust members so why not come and see what's going on?

Can’t get the necessary connection to the grid there.

ILI will arrange the access to the grid which is definitely available or we wouldn't be this far down the road. 

The arguement can only be based on net zero and not any financial benefit to ICT or indeed any business. The planning sits separately. 

Details attached for the meeting on Saturday

Thank you OCG for your response as you understand things. I’m not a Supporter Trust member, just a simple supporter of the team. 

I’m still unclear what the Trust Board actually stand for in how a question like mine, (of relevant interest to us all I would hope), is taken up and addressed by the Trust Board.
If as you say the TB has occasional meetings with the club officials, is there timetable for the these meetings or is it randomly held?

I would be concerned if the club would consider withholding details like season ticket numbers sold, as it would (I suspect) be of interest to just about any season ticket holder or the fans in general.

Why, well a number of reasons,

Firstly, connection with the fans. The season ticket sales represent (for me at least), a sign of the general health of the club.
Absence of such details weakens, I believe, the connection and bond between the club and fans, where as DD mentions, just about every other club is proud to promote and release there ST figures.

Secondly, Anyone with any interest in the club know our average attendance is just over a couple of thousand. If their is financial sensitivity on the season tickets then given what I say above (other clubs release ST No’s), this may raise greater concern and focus from fans, vendors and potential investors that there is a risk the club is in a vulnerable position (yes, I take in the cup run). Releasing the ST numbers would dismiss this uncertainty.

Lastly, it raises for me the question ‘what does supporters trust board actually stand for’. I don’t mean that disrespectfully, but I assume some of the Trust Board members look at the forum comments as well as taking in Supporters trust members emails. Like graffiti on a wall, some of the more salient and meaningful suggestions and comments (good and bad), that could help the club forward come from such sources. - The absence or lack of Supporters Trust Board interaction or feedback with the forum is a lost opportunity for me.

Anyway, I personally feel the club has more to gain than loose by issuing the number of Season Tickets sold.

Just my tuppence worth and final comment on the matter.

common fan bc

Myself and some other members of the Suppoertrs Trust Board will be in the Sports Bar pre match tomorrow.  Why not pop in for a chat where we will be happy to answer your questions. 

Shaping up to be an amazing day. Brilliant that this venue is family friendly too

Will there be a testimonial game too?

That is certainly the plan

Many a good day spent in the Innes pre and post match.  That's a great photo Scotty.  I met Colin and his family in a hotel in New York. As we were checking out they were sitting waiting to check in lol

A true gentleman who will be sadly missed by many

Any chance of joining in remotely for those of us who don't live locally ?

That might be a possibility but we are waiting for a date in the first instance.

Wonder which will come first, the League Title or the minutes from the second meeting...

Maybe you should attend the next meeting to hear the information first hand. The next meeting is to be an open meeting for all fans to attend. We are just waiting for a date  for this from the Club.

I haven't had time to do more than flick through a couple of times but what I have seen is amazing.  I'm looking forward to having time to have a proper look over the Christmas holidays

Thank you Scotty. This is an amazing record of 25 years of ICT and a must for every fan. It is very much a book of memories of which we will all have played a part. Once again excellent work from our club historian. I for one can't wait to get my hands on a copy

Hi RiG

Sadly the event has been cancelled due to the SFA announcement that games should be cancelled.  The Trust feel that this event was reliant upon the match and therefore should be rearranged when the fixtures are rescheduled.  Please be reassured that all other events, conferences and meetings booked at the stadium will go ahead as planned. 

Really looking forward to it. Looking like a great night.

Me and my Dad. See you later

That doesnt mean there wont be any votes to be taken .... Right now you are facing going into a meeting with only 3 directors and if the rumours in this thread and going around outside of CTO have any truth in them there could be a board of 1 by the time everyone has sat down and introductions are made ...

At the very least any new board members would have to be voted in, even if its a rubber stamp job. I am prepared to be corrected, but I dont think a board of 1 - or even 3 - could co-opt new members as they are not quorate and even if they can those appointments need ratified with a vote. However, if anything 'extraordinary' surfaces at the meeting then the 10% voting right of the trust is crucial. It may not be enough to swing a decision one way or another but that 10% voting right represents the fans and supporters of the club and speaks volumes about the mood of the support and the supporters opinion on what should be important to, and the best way forward for the good and benefit of the club.  With all due respect, anyone on the trust board who thinks that the 10% voting share is not important should perhaps give themselves a wee shake and take another look !! It has never been so important !    

Believe me I'm very aware of the importance of the voting right and where it came from

This is the time our 10% voting right becomes very very important so please ST use it well

There doesn't seem to be any resolutions to be voted on

Children's strips were made without a sponsor when it was alcohol companies

Looking forward to a great day out with great people.  Who cares if it's an early start, we are going to HAMPDEN for the semi final of the BIG cup!!

Great turnout as usual and 8 players accompanied by Lionel Nessie joined the kids who all had a great night.  Thank you to each and every one of you
