Worth remembering that the figures (plucked from thin air) for the levels for stadium events are a guide and ICT could submit an "application" to have more people in attendance.

There's it.

New pod which sees @RedCard chatting with new ICT Sporting Director John Robertson will be out tomorrow morning for your listening pleasure.

With the likelihood that away games are out the window next season then we can make more use of the away stand and apply to have greater numbers of supporters attend our home games.

I've seen mention on social media that the first 1,000 ST purchases will have priority to attend games if / when fans can get in next season. Is this true?

That's simply not true. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/ross-county/2965213/ross-county-boss-john-hughes-reveals-caley-thistle-tried-to-bring-billy-mckay-back-to-inverness/

There's it.

He is apparently a box to box midfielder.

McAlear in on a season long loan.

Manny Duku signs a one year deal. Nice.

Finally confirmed

Finally!

Good to see Scott Burns catching up at long last.

Based on his social media posts it seems Miles Storey is moving on despite having been offered a deal by the club.

There's no chance of us overspending and we have Harper and Deas who can play LB. That's possibly the last area that's needs more players. I can see us looking at a CB (to replace Mckay), maybe a RB (so Carson can return to midfield and Duffy could act as a CB), an attacking midfielder and I guess we are looking at two strikers now.

Agree 100%. The "Aye but what about them" justification is lazy.

Toddy signs for Dunfermline...

Feels a bit "horse, stable door" but better late than never I guess... https://ictfc.com/2021-22-squad-update

The rumour suggests that Toddy was offered a deal by the club but he turned it down. Seems he wants to move back to the central belt for family reasons.

I know it's easy to complain about things and clearly the club are...antiquated...off the pitch however I am struggling to think of a reason why we have not had an update on players leaving the club or season tickets. instead we are left to the players themselves to reveal that they have left the club through screenshots of their notes app on their phone. I see from @hislopsoffsideagain on Twitter that we are one of four clubs in the SPFL not to have released any kind of update on player movements. Says it all really.

There's a worrying pattern emerging (again) where we are not bothering our backsides to communicate with players about new deals. Whilst I respect @Yngwie's comment earlier about two sides to every story it's hard not to fall down on the side of the players given the number of times this has happened. Players finding out through social media or newspapers they won't be getting a deal or being left voicemails and then not replying to follow up calls or simply not being spoken to at all. It's pathetic.

Training starts tomorrow I think and there will be players who are out of contract who don't know if they should be there or not. Laughable stuff really.

Miles Storey has posted on social media that he is assuming he will be off as no contract offer has been received and no one from the club has been in touch with him. Really poor to leave players in limbo like this and it wouldn't take much to reach out to them. There are plenty of rumours swirling around who has gone and who might be gone but some clarification from the club would be welcome.

Going OT but one thing that cannot be said about (John) Hughes is that he isn't a good coach.

I'm sure I have a duvet cover that looks like that. Still though, I quite like it even if it reminds me of a Dundee shirt.
