The best only way to get a resolution is to contact the club and raise your concern. If you don't, then it's only likely to happen again and one unhappy person turns into more unhappy people and that does nobody any favours.

Yes

I'll pass on your comments.

Arguably our best home performance of the season and we made what looked like a decent Hibs team (on paper) look decidedly mediocre...and apart from one opportunity through on goal Leigh Griffiths was kept quiet the whole match. Ball retention in the first half wasn't the best, but when we lost it we were quick to get it back....problem was sorted for the second half. Richie Foran got MotM, but it could easily have gone to any one of 7 or 8 players today. Was great talking to a few of the team after the game. They were obviously delighted with both the performance and result today but have already kicked into preparation mode for the game on Tuesday.....can't wait.

Fair weather supporter?

I reckon we could see a few, yeah.

Not sure I can take the strain...!!!

I often get that "Talking to myself" feeling as well.

Not sure I understand the "meh" attitude from some people right now. Fully appreciate that cost will be a factor for some and work/kids/travel etc preventing others....but surely if those things aren't an issue and you're a fan then you wouldn't want to be missing out on anything that involves the team right now. I can see us getting to the end of this season and a lot of fans having a lot of regrets because, through choice, they missed out on much of it. Guys and Girls....it's not going to last forever, certainly not if people don't support the tea/club when they are on a high. Get yer erse down there (if able) and cheer on the lads.

You might want to be careful with the wording of your joke about smoke bombs....people have had police visits for less.

Sorry mate but having seen the scorch marks on the grass they were not harmless. I must agree with Dougal on this. There is no place for any pyrotechnics in our game. I have a friend who was badly burned by similar smoke bombs and I dont want to see that happen to any of our fans, All it takes is for the thrower to mis-throw and someone gets burned. Those weren't scorch marks, they were just powder residue as the items used were "cold-burning". In saying that, the stewards etc are not to know straight off what the item was, or how safe/unsafe it was to approach and dispose of it...and as such need to treat all such items in the same manner, and that includes dealing with the person/s responsible in the same fashion (if caught). Members of Caley Jags Together board have spoken with the clubs safety officer and whilst we don't know who it was, we've passed around a message about the consequences of being caught and believe they have reached the necessary ears. Just so everybody knows...if you are caught in possession of and/or deploying such items at a football match, then not only are you risking a weekend in the cells, you risk a custodial sentence from the courts. You can argue the rights and wrongs of that all you like...that is the facts of the matter and it's not the clubs or stewards who impose these rules/laws, it's the police and courts. You've had your "fun", fortunately nobody was hurt/injured (never mind any risk of burning and I wouldn't fancy being hit by an object that size) and you were lucky not to have been caught (yet)....but don't push your luck and let's not have a repeat of it. ICT is riding high at the moment and there's so much to be positive about that it's almost dreamlike. We don't want/need anything tarnishing that.

As I pointed out on that post on Facebook....this is not "new/additional" money, we generally get something every year. So, all in all, pretty much a non-story and the press just filling space.

You'd be quite wrong. Unlikely to ever see him using Social Media stuff personally, but he's no technophobe and has a fairly decent understanding of the subject.

There's normally the first of the punters in there about 1:30pm, but think the bar itself may be open slightly earlier (about 1:00pm) although they do have a license that allows opening from 11am so if there was demand and the club were asked in advance then I am sure they'd look after you. Could probably do with getting the details up on the official website so I'll chase that up when I'm down at the Stadium in a bit.

What we talk about in this thread is the SPL plan. I can't see the SFL agreeing with it, so it won't happen. What the SPL are proposing here is a plan which does not depend on acceptance by the SFL. What will happen is that the SFL will be left with 18 registered teams and a decision on what to do to accommodate them. IMO, they will have little/no option but to put a regional/pyramid system in place. Not how I would like to have seen things progressing, and it would be nice if everyone could get around the table and leave self interest at the door but that is never going to happen and the only people (other than the SFA) in a position to push through change...even if not necessarily exactly the change we all want...are the SPL. The only alternative is to do nothing and watch the game continue it's slow agonising demise.

Oh bugger....will I have to remove the saltire from the CTO logo?

You're best speaking to the stadium, but as I understand it an invite will go out to DFC Supporters Society asking how many they would like access for....hopefully they would contact all the relevant supporters groups before replying. However, there's nothing to stop you enquiring directly if there's a group of you wanting to make use of it. The important thing is that the club can demonstrate that they have some knowledge of who is in there so that it can be traced back should anything happen (not likely). As you're pretty much an honorararary ICT fan I'd hope you wouldn't have an trouble getting in.

I'm just a tad upset that the poll wasn't more conclusive!!!

Having spoken to the club about our options for this we have taken the decision to postpone the match. The club have been very helpful, but we feel that it's a no-brainer for us to postpone. We'd far rather the ground staff have the extra day to prepare the pitch for the Cup Replay on Tuesday night, ensuring it is the best it can be following Saturdays SPL match versus Hibs. The onset of the winter weather can make this a tough task at the best of times. Unfortunate, but we're certain you will all understand and agree with our decision. We won't be beaten and will look talk to Tommy and Kenny about options for the re-re-scheduled match in due course.

booooooooooooo

I don't think we did give up in the Motherwell game. The effort was there from the whole team, they just couldn't pull it together.. The attitude comes from the fact that, IMO, this is the closest knit squad we have ever had and every player is out there battling for themselves and everyone else. Terry has a squad that he has built himself and he hadn't allowed (and been happy to get rid of) anyone that doesn't fit in, pull their weight or play their part. You can actually see a visible change in Butcher as well....he's lost a lot of his "Mr Angry" side. Any rants this season have been born from frustration....but most of the time is spent trying to peel him off the ceiling for good reasons. Davie Balfour talks about it a bit in the MFR Fanzone Podcast from last week....he's of the belief that this is a team that has gelled earlier and quicker than many (including Butcher) expected, and... scarily... we've yet to see the best of them. I think he's right.

I vaguely remember seeing something about points being halved and some explanation to the logic for that, but can't recall the details.
