2 out 1 in, don't forget the re-signing of Bulvitis. P & J confirm the move suggesting we got ?40,000 for Imrie (which was the figure we were looking for) but Barrowman was released from his contract which cost us money and Ross County got him for free. Overall a good piece of business as these guys were both on high wages which were out of our budget for 1st division football. Suggestions that Stuart Duff will be released and we will also sign him up, so all round a good transfer window for us I think.

It is a Trust venture, so any profits will go into the Trust funds. The Trust money goes to help a number of initiatives within ICT and elsewhere in the football community. 2 sold already, so only 498 to go lol

I'm as sure as I can be that CaleyD hasn't received a penny for the work he has done this season.

Irrespective of the share price, Alex does seem to have taken thinking here out of the traditional box where the financing of football is held to be the responsibility of wealthy individuals through making donations to clubs who are apparently owed a living by them. In answer to Georgeios' query about what was said on the BBC on Monday morning, yes, David Sutherland did confirm to me that he would be making a donation to the Clach Survival Fund which as at Sunday stood at ?8800. It is my understanding that his donation is a modest sum which will join others in a pot designed to keep Clach in buses for away games, rent of Grant Street for home games and around a tenner per player per game for the next few weeks.... and hence Inverness in the Highland League at least for the time being. We are talking here orders of magnitude less than the cost of keeping a recently relegated full time First Division team in operation in a 7500 seater stadium. I also heard on the radio that it is costing ?500 to ?600 per week to pay the administrator to keep it solvent which is draining the money pot,so unless the council can come to some agreement about the debt, I think someone may buy the debt and lease the ground back to Clach. Any ideas who would do this ? :017: How could ordinary fans purchase shares as they are not on open market? The shares were a ?1 each last year, you would probably want to contact the company secretary if you are interested.I'm not sure what you would actually be buying though, Will the club buy them back if you needed the cash and at what value? The supporters trust may be a better long term option, as long as they are being treated fairly by the club, I read the minutes on the web for last years AGM and the % of shares allocated to the trust had changed ??? Maybe someone can shed some light, the latest AGM must be very soon too. Supporters Trust AGM was on Tuesday night.

There were definitely cash gates and I used one for the North Stand. I did however see a large queue at one of the main stand turnstiles. It would make more sense if the turnstiles could share the fans out regardless of whether or not they have a ticket. I have encountered the same problem with free kids in the past, but as Don says, why can't we give the turnstile operators the vouchers to hand out. Seems very simple

There was catering, although not all the serveries were open (but the crowd was low, so it was sufficient) As far as I'm aware there was no Kingsmills Club tonight

We have had strong winds through the night and the snow is now melting fast. I can even see some grass in my garden for the first time in a month. Hopefully this car park task will have been made a bit easier with this thaw.

I have to say that the little I have seen of Roy this season has been impressive. He seems to have kept himself really fit and covers almost every inch of the park. He clearly doesn't fit into Terry Butchers game plan and I know that Roy (like Dennis and others before him) is absolutely devastated at not even making the bench most weeks. My concern about letting him go is that I'm as certain as I can be that we will have Robbo and Barry on board in the managerial role in the not too distant future. (end of the season at the latest) It's a shame if they come in and we have no team. Bearing in mind most of our players are out of contract at the end of the season and may not wait until then before committing their future elsewhere. Like others I am quite concerned for the future of our club.

Seems a bit harsh considering they were 4-0 up when he was introduced to the game. Agree it should be punished though, so if this is the decision I guess they will just have to accept it

He may not have been 'shown the door' Alex, but surely not being offered a new contract is much the same thing

I believe there is a pitch inspection tomorrow at 10am

Okay I have quickly read through this thread and there are obviously a wide range of opinions. I'll just make a couple of points. Firstly I would like to give them a short run in time to get things right. They are very experienced in what they do and I think it will prove to be a good move. The staff were drafted in from elsewhere as they haven't had a chance to recruit locally yet, but they have advertised in the local press for matchday staff, so if you think you can do better, then please apply. I was personally unhappy with the quality with the previous contractor and also their management and stock control left a bit to be desired. I hope that once these new people find their feet we will see further improvement. My own feedback is that the queue was dealt with quicker and more efficiently and that the quality was better. On the down side I am concerned about the level of the price increase. We were told there would be a slight increase, but reports suggest that these were a bit too much. Situation with macaroni pies is bound to be resolved when they realise the demand. They set Saturday up at extremely short notice, so I hope that any shortcomings will be resolved and we'll see an improved service every week

I thought I clarified the situation with the DVD. If there is to be a DVD it will be a 10th Anniversary edition and therefore can not be available until around the 10th Anniversary which will be in February. We do hope to have a DVD available soon after the 'Still a Night to Remember' event which is on Feb 6th

A very Happy Birthday from the Grant household. See you in the Innes on Saturday. :)
