Ok, so I've just logged in and caught up on this thread. I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed in a lot of the posts. First of all let me make it clear, I wasn't at the game in Stirling, nor was I at the CJT board meeting which followed as I was away, so I'm not going to get into the rights and wrongs of what happened and who said what. What I will say is that having a little information I am really saddened by some of the posts in this thread. Not even the posts of the young people who feel they did nothing wrong, but the people who jumped on the bandwagon and should have known better. Do you for 1 minute believe that the CJT board members in attendance would have a problem with singing and having fun? These people are comitted to home and away games and much more while holding down full time jobs, family comittments etc into the bargain. I know a few of them who are really hurt by many of the comments. We are arranging to meet the boys on Friday night to discuss the events of the day and identify what is and isn't acceptable behaviour. We are also happy to hear from them and what concerns and points they would like to raise. Please note that this meeting is primarily for those who travelled on the bus to Stirling I would hope to be able to post a better update when I am more aware of the facts and what the general feeling is on Friday night. I hope that some of the people with strong feeling will consider standing for election at the upcoming AGM.

As a well educated man, I'm sure you are well aware that singing on a supporters bus would hardly constitute a bus suspension.

Cue the snow

I agree it's really sad to have to cancel buses and with the size of our club this shouldn't be a problem, especially after such an amazing season last season. It's simple maths and there are just not enough people to make it viable. A few people have mentioned minibuses but is anyone volunteering to drive them? I'm in London this weekend so I can't make the game but it's just simply a numbers game. The numbers wouldn't have paid for even half of the bus this weekend and CJT just can't afford to continue subsidising to this level. Sponsors may be an option but I think we have to just encourage more to travel and then we won't have this problem on a week to week basis. I hope that those who hoped to attend this weekend will be able to make alternative arrangements. Any ideas to promote the travel will be much appreciated

Won't make it tomorrow but I will see you next week at Celtic Park

That's a very interesting point Joe, I have no idea but I will look into it

Awwwwww :cry: :ictscarf:

Yes you could

There will be an email sent out to all the people on the buses which should answer all your questions Hope to get this out tomorrow night.

So who is all up for Friday night then, we have to get the Caley Club rocking for STV news

Just for a little while at 6pm, I'm sure we will all be heading home to be tucked up in bed nice and early ahead of Saturday :-)

Quite possibly

Yes you can book online via www.ictst.co.uk Buses available from the stadium, Inshes or Culloden

All 8.30am

We are the home team

Only just noticed this thread So sorry to hear this news. Eric's health had certainly been failing for some time but he was at the games whenever possible. Very fond memories, great guy with an amazing general knowledge. He will be sorely missed by many Thinking of you Part Timer Laura

And we are 1st up on Sportscene :-)

I'll be there, always a great night.

Also still some spaces on train 2 leaving 9.25am and going straight through to Queen Street and onward to Belgrove which is a 10 - 15 min walk to Parkhead. Train tickets will be available tomorrow night at the social club, Greig Street from 6.30pm - 7.30pm

Aberdeen don't have ticket stock either so their fans, like ours are buying a seat with tickets to follow

I think that the Aberdeen trains will be encouraged to use the other stations. The inclusion of the onward travel will be to assist in segregation. I'm certain they will have plenty trains on to cope with demand. As Lynne says they are pretty used to moving large numbers of people around with big football matches, concerts etc so I would take their advice and use the Queen Street - Belgrove line

I got a price from House of Flags recently if you are interested

Iona, Ex servicemans club and 4 in hand all taking buses and open from 11am

Dougal, the chairman and secretary of CJT took annual leave to attend the meeting in Glasgow. They fought our case but unfortunately TV contracts etc talk and we got a raw deal. As it would have been difficult for the SPFL to give us money, they spoke to some of their sponsors and managed to get some hope from the Scottish Sun, which has now come to fruition. Yes this is good marketing for the Sun, but be under no illusion this would not have happened if Davie and Jen didn't take the time to attend the meeting on our behalf.

Singing area is section 18, not available online, but phone the stadium or call in to purchase them
