Come off it mate, I don't care how busy Fiona was that is a p!ss poor attempt of a report, which was also 12 hours behind what everyone else knew. "The club have confirmed the transfer of Dougie Imrie to Hamilton FC and the release of Andrew Barrowman from his contract. We would like to thank both players for their service and wish them all the best in their furture careers." It looks more like a statement of disinterest than an update Maybe she is disinterested, which is understandable in the circumstances. New responsibilities, heavier workload for little reward. Would you have her leave her home late at night just to update a website for you? This is her job, she was likely given a snippet to cut and paste into the website by a faceless director. We're a' Jock Tamsons bairns, Harry.

Nov 20 2008 CaleyD The lease already has transferred Alex (to a company owned and controlled by Sutherland) and there's been numerous enquiries made about changing the designated use for the land so as to allow the developer who now owns it to make a few quid from it. When this eventually happens (and it will, I'd bet every penny I have on it) then it won't be ICT who benefit, nor indeed will it be the Charitable Trust we were led to believe were taking ownership.....it will be David Sutherland, and he'll do so by a factor of 10 (or more) on what he originally paid for it.

Nov 15 2008 CaleyD Can't say I was overly surprised by the (non) response to my question regarding stadium ownership/lease. I'm not denying that the club got themselves out of a hole by selling the club, what I am questioning is the fact that when this was done we were led to believe that the new owners would be a charitable trust and not a company which is all but owned and controlled by a single person. As I've stated before, the proposal of using a Charitable Trust appealed to people and gained favour because we were led to believe that once the Trust got into a position where debt was cleared then it would act for the benefit of the footballing and sports community. In short, we sold the club on the cheap on the basis that their might be some long term benefit for everyone. As it now appears, the club was, IMO, stolen from under our noses and put into private hands. If the club are not willing to answer the question as to why this happened, then perhaps I should now direct my enquiries to the higher profile public figures who make up the Board of the Dormant Trust (which was suppose to receive stadium ownership) to ask why they have remained tight lipped on the affair, but are quite happy that their membership of that board be used on CV's and in public as some kind of status symbol? In fact, why does the Trust continue to exist at all, if not as an attempt to maintain the smokescreen? As I understand it, the Trust Board Members have and may still include a number of influential local businessmen, councillors, an ex provost and a member of the Scottish Parliament.

Game on. :tonguecheek:

The official website is a luxury as far as the club are concerned, they pay it little attention which is why this website is the first port of call for all ICT fans. Having reduced the staffing at the stadium the remaining staff find themselves taking on more responsibilities and they like the rest of us are human, with strengths and weaknesses.

Is this going to be a question and answer session without the answers? Maybe a journalist could ask the people in the know for us? Please.

Who holds the lease on the estate?

Can I ask you to split this thread so we can continue to discuss the ownership of the stadium in a thread of its own please, CaleyD.

The person responsible for updating the website may have other duties. Are they even full-time employees? It is all too easy to point and laugh, spare a thought for the person you are trying to ridicule.

19th October 2006 CaleyD What happened to turn your mind CaleyD? And where has all the good will gone? If it hadn't been for David Sutherland would our club have survived to play in the SPL? Would we have survived at all? The investments made were timely and I thank David Sutherland and Tullochs for that, I would however like to see a plan put into place that would see the ownership of the stadium transferred back to the club. If only I could win the EuroMillions........

Is that how you do job interviews in Canada Scotty?

Maybe the club's staff have lives away from ICT. I wouldn't have expected an update from the club until the morning, after it's been delivered to my doorstep.

Are profits going to the Trust?

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids. That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.' So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking. 'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads: Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework. 'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. PLEASE NOTE: To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street. The first floor has wives that love sex. The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

Was asked what team I followed once when on a night out in Ayr. The look of horror on their faces when I said Caley. Obviously they thought I said Killie. When they realised their error the drinks started to flow and it was party time.
