Quote from the Chairman's Comments in Saturday's programme
Last week I was in the 'firing line', answering questions at the ICTFC Supporters Trust fans' forum and it was a pleasure to meet so many people who care so much about this club. I'm very keen to take forward the relationship between the Trust and the club. Having a direct connection with such an organisation is healthy and sensible and I hope that the red tape will shortly be cut through to allow the Trust to take a shareholding in our club.
I'm also in the process of answering the supporters' queries online - - but don't expect me to name names about who we're keen to sign!
I learned a lesson about being too open when what I thought was an off the record chat with fans at the Trust meeting ended up in the media. My comment about approaching Manchester United for loan players was 'leaked' the next day. Commercial confidentiality will also restrict some of my online replies, but I'm establishing the principle of being as approachable to the supporters as I can reasonably be.
Back on the fans' forum, I was joined in the hot seat by Grant Munro and I'd like to congratulate him for being so friendly and frank in his answers. He's a credit to himself and this club.
Okay I've included a bit more than necessary here, but Alan Savage would seem to be keen to support the fans where possible, thankfully he still feels he wants to be involved and I look forward to reading his answers to our questions
NOTE TO SCOTTY/DON: Would it be possible to be allowed to print these articles from the programme on a regular basis following a game for those fans who are unable to attend every game. Also possible Manager/Captain pages too.????
