Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC are delighted to announce 2025/26 Season Tickets will be available from Monday 9th June 2025 at 10am from the Club Shop and online from eticketing.co.uk/ictfc The club have worked closely with the ICT Supporters Trust with the regards to Season Ticket pricing and are delighted to announce a reduction in price from last season across Adult/Over 65s categories. Also the extension of the 18-20 category from last season to now include 21 year-olds and students with valid ID. The club wanted to reward fans for their loyalty and vital backing during a challenging season last year, and feel the new season ticket prices reflect that. The new club management were keen to consult and work with the Supporters Trust regarding Season Ticket prices and have brought all season tickets under £300, including for those who did not have a season ticket last season and are looking to rejoin us for the new campaign. The club hopes with the outstanding finish to last year from the team, and the positive changes currently ongoing, that supporters will continue to get right behind Scott Kellacher and his players next season. Full Price Tables for 2025/26 Season Tickets can be found below: Andrew Benjamin, ICTFC Commercial Manager, said: “It was a pleasure working with the Supporters Trust from the very start on this season’s ticket pricing and listening to fan feedback. Everyone at the club knows just how important it is to reward the incredible loyalty our fans continue to show. These renewal prices are a reflection of that appreciation. We also want to warmly welcome back anyone who’s been away from the club for a while, there’s never been a better time to return and be part of something special. The fantastic turnout of 2,400 at our final home game last season showed the strength of our community, and together, we’re excited to keep that energy growing into the new season and beyond. George Moodie, ICT Supporters Trust Chairman, said: “The Supporters Trust were delighted to work closely with the club on this year’s season tickets, I would like to thank the club for their efforts & support . We were involved right from the start, where we were able to provide input to the pricing & bandings. It really highlights the positive collaboration between Supporters and the Football Club just now and highlights what can be achieved through strong open communication.” “It was important to the Supporters Trust that all fans who got behind the team last season were rewarded for their loyal support with a discounted renewal for the new season ahead. I hope that everyone can get behind the club and purchase their season tickets early so we can prepare for what will hopefully be an exciting season ahead.” “Whilst renewing your Season Ticket, why not also join the Supporters Trust as well this season for only £5.

Tommy always was a good judge of character Happy that he appears to have been right about AS as well. The entire press conference is linked on this thread both in audio and video. You will note there is no mention of this anywhere. Have a feeling that AS is more likely to announce this as and when anything is a done deal rather than before the ink is dry on any contract. Charlie is in with the bricks. He is going nowhere. Him, Graeme Bennett, and Kells are the preferred dream team in terms of creating a triumvirate spanning the team, board, and back office. When those three areas are aligned, we have traditionally done well and every one of them is motivated to do so and for once, the backroom leaders understand things given that both played for the club too. AS will oversee it as he noted and others will be brought on. It all sounds pretty positive, especially considering where we could have been ... but as CaleyD notes, the proof is in the pudding.

Worth listening to that audio. Lots of nice little snippets in there from improving the supporter experience, to adding a stage behind the North Stand, to covering the singing section, a testimonial for Aaron Doran and even practical things like replacing power hungry floodlights with LEDs and such like. Feeling pretty positive right now that little tweaks here and there will optimise our outgoings while trying to maximise sponsorship and income.

Little snippet from today's press conference with Alan Savage talking about coming out of administration ... testimonial to be organised for Aaron against Ross County.
-
Audio of the press conference available on the Courier Website: https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/sport/exclusive-caley-thistle-press-call-384032/

That quote from Alan Savage also reminded me of another part of the CVA document. There is an entry in there to say that someone who recently passed left the club £50,000 in their will. Not sure who it is, but the club got £10K so far with a further £40K to come from the estate so thank you to whoever that was.
-
according to the administrator we can do that once the CVA is filed which will be today or tomorrow I assume.
-
I know the number, it's in the document that was presented to shareholders but not sure if that is confidential until the dust has settled or not so not going to post it just now. Great article in the P&J from Paul Chalk noting that Alan Savage credited Tommy Cumming with part of his inspiration to save the club!!! https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/inverness-caledonian-thistle/6771305/caley-thistle-to-exit-administration/?fbclid=IwY2xjawKum5pleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHj_dIZoT-d6P6y3Ig5X7mr64Ukiscz4O0N6CA98YUifYdYVIF1mzfnNVZ6SO_aem_zkwAAdABFSQQv4ycZ1NnDA A few key quotes from that article: “It is a big job and a big responsibility and I’m really looking forward to it. To bring the club control, governance, order and to let the playing side of things, under (interim chief executive) Charlie Christie, (former vice chairman) Graeme Bennett and Scott Kellacher succeed – and try to get us into the Championship through next season, using the academy players, local Highland League players, some other Scottish players and maybe a couple of marquee players. “The club will be a football club, no distraction, completely focused.” “I think there was a moment of epiphany when I came in and first got involved with some of the detail of what was going on. I spoke to Dale Stephen, the groundsman, and he remind me that Tommy Cumming, the past groundsman whose ashes are on the pitch, had told Dale that ‘Alan Savage would never let the club go (under)’. That was a big responsibility. Tommy was a great character and it struck me the club means a lot to a lot of people. I felt duty-bound to make sure the club continued. So everyone can thank Tommy Cumming.” “I’m looking forward to running the football club for the benefit of all the people who work here, the players, and the local community and stakeholders.”

Dont think so.

I think we technically are until the CVA is activated. I wondered about the same thing. I guess this is why it was a pretty tame Teams call. The Administrator made it clear that all proxies already received were 100% in favour (unsurprisingly) and I would assume some of those were heavy hitters ... my measly 250 shares was not going to - nor would I have wanted to - derail the process. I was there partially out of nosiness at the end of the process and also because this was likely my last act / meeting as a shareholder of ICTFC.

Bill was close to £600K of which they appear to be seeking £325K in total. It's a high number but based on reading the document it does sound like our fractured structure was very complicated to unravel so presumably this is all warranted. 300K seems to be the fees for administration itself and the 25K seems to be for the period from now until everything is wrapped up. Thats a capped fee so will not exceed £25K. Reading the CVA document it said that the funding provided by AS would not only pay the preferential and secondary preferential creditors as well as unsecured creditors, but it noted: "The funding will also enable the costs and expenses of the Joint Administrators (so far as they are unpaid), unpaid legal fees, and those of the Joint Supervisors to be settled". Basically, AS is footing the bill for administration and the wrap-up period as part of his current and additional funding put into the club. There may be nuances in there, or maybe I misunderstand some things (?) but bottom line is that if AS is happy with the numbers then I think we can be also since he is the one opening the wallet ! I just look forward to seeing this footer on the club website being removed

Apparently the first meeting was met with 100% agreement as was the second. No surprises there. Press conference later this afternoon which will no doubt put more detail into this, but it is looking like we will be free of all restrictions placed on us and free to operate as a normal business immediately. Crucially that means the club can sign players and look to build the squad ahead of the 2025/26 season. BDO looking to get everything wrapped up in the next 28 days or so.

Going by the document dated 19th May, circulated to (ex-)shareholders, and to be approved today, RM does indeed lay claim to £0.00 in relation to both the floating charge and the 'pledge over shares held by borrower'. Thats a pretty hefty concession and while he has been vilified over the last year, I stick by my original opinion which is that he was a supporter first and chairman second. He was one of few who had money, and is guilty of putting his trust, and extreme loyalty in, someone who was unable to deliver on the promises made rather than anything else. He definitely deserves criticism for that, but it also cost him £1.65m Lots of stuff in the document, much of it positive, and much of it also showing how much Alan Savage has done (and ploughed into the club) since October. It also shows how apart from Ross Morrison, other directors have also written off debts and loans that in the end totalled somewhere in the region of £3.5m. These write-offs allow a higher proposed dividend for unsecured creditors which is better than they perhaps anticipated. Not going to post the full document given that various meetings take place today, and the press conference takes place later this afternoon. All-in-all, from a personal point of view, I thank Ross for what he did and what he has done in relation to the loans and really thank Alan Savage for what he has done until now and appears to be willing to do for the foreseeable. It is clear from the document that without AS and his money since October (and RM not insisting on payments) this is a liquidation event not administration. Just re-read the document and the timeline for today is clearer. 11:30 AM - Creditors Meeting 2:00 PM - Shareholders / Members meeting 3:30 PM - Press conference has been brought forward 1 hour from 4:30 PM/. edited to add: got my link to join the 2pm meeting so will report back afterwards

Press conference tomorrow - just received a note from the club: "Mr James Stephen from BDO and Mr Alan Savage will be hosting a press conference in person at the Caledonian Stadium at 4.30pm tomorrow" Also have it in my calendar that there is an online call for shareholders (or should that now be ex-shareholders) at 2pm.

We have now enabled a club area for the ICT Travel Club. Talking to @Hearach recently, it is thought they will use this to publicise the buses you can book onto and to provide info for travelling ICT fans. After upgrading the software soon, all calendar events added by both the Trust and the Travel Club will make their way to the main calendar listings and also any new posts in either should show up in whichever version of 'unread' posts you use to display content when accessing the site. A few more tweaks to come in the next week or two before I think we are ready to migrate to the new version of the software.

Thats the best possible combination of home games for us in terms of attendance, I think, and a nice wee close to home game for @CaleyD now that he's residing in the Kingdom of Fife.

First round of tweaks and tidy-ups have now started. Most of these are invisible to users but the most visible is that we have now converted the Supporters Trust forum to a 'club'. This will allow them to host not only a separate sub-forum, but also have a blog, files for download, an event calendar and even custom pages, all in one enclosed space. The club area on here is 'free' to join but that is separate to the actual trust which still takes membership from their own site / links. It is also (currently) shown as an 'open' club which means that: "everyone can see the club and its posts, but only members can participate. Everyone can join". The club moderators will choose if it stays that way or changes to a different type. Currently @DoofersDad is set as the owner. You can access this area either from the CLUBS link in the menu at the top or depending on how you view the forums from various other places.

Lol. All people associated with the club in some way as supporters, former players or journalists (not CB). Assuming they just have not unfriended him yet.
