Dougal can often be controversial and sometimes divisive but he is a regular contributor and, whether you or indeed I agree with it or not, seems to make a reasonable enough point. I really don't see how it can be dismissed as trolling. In that case, I suggest you research the term in relation to it's use in this instance...you may be able to see it then!

It's the only response that should be given to any troll.

Crazy how long we take to release new replica strips I would have thought like season tickets the priority would be to get as many as possible sold ASAP so the money is in the bank and could be made available to Yogi for squad additions or ground improvements Regardless whether it's the clubs fault or the supplier it's time for better communication between the two in future Dougal

Which charities are benefiting?

I believe the club sell the "rights" to the caterers and don't make any additional/direct income (percentage or otherwise) from the food sales....nor are they (club) responsible for staffing etc.

That's not going to stop him.

The club don't have a full sample with the new sponsors on it.

Knew I should have checked before we booked in there

We did....I still have nightmares about how horrendous it looked and thought it was only used once. However, from checking old pics it was used in at least 3 games (Clach, Forres & Elgin).

May have been the same season (10/11) as it was start of August the strips were ready when we changed from Flybe to Orion. See post 168 :

Away kit I would imagine.

New Home Kit should be revealed by mid-July (sooner if possible).

I personally spent the best part of 6 years chasing the same path that you seem to be on....and came very close to packing the whole thing in, including my support of the club, due to the frustrations of not actually achieving very much (in terms of getting support from others). It wasn't until I refocused....thanks to people telling me the same thing I'm saying to you....that I found a task that allowed me achieve something tangible through my contribution, and something that I (mostly) enjoy and get a great deal of personal satisfaction from. I still champion the idea of a lot people doing a little instead of few people doing a lot...it's just no longer the primary focus. And the thing is, more people have come forward to offer help and get involved in the past 2 years than I ever saw in the 6 years prior to that. I'm not the only person that's been in the above position and had those experiences, but I can only speak for myself. For all I know, you may be the person to get a different result and if you truly believe you can, then go for it. Being the stubborn, opinionated SOB that I am, it's probably what I would do (and did for years)

Actually looking for more than one flat/house

Talk is cheap and ideas are worthless without the money/resource to back them up. Until people who are willing/able to commit time to projects, then all we do is keep going round in the same circles we have been for as long as I can remember. Also, my tuppence worth on having a network of Supporters Clubs. If there's a group of people in an area with the will to make something happen, then it'll happen....and it's how it should happen. If these groups should appear and want any assistance from the club or CJT, then I'm sure it would be given. There's also nothing to prevent any of these groups becoming affiliate members/branches of central organisation (such as CJT). There are lots of small groups of fans who already get together to attend games and/or socialise before/after games....most of them aren't interested in becoming organised groups as they (understandably) can't be ersed with the politics and paperwork that inevitably arise the moment you start forming committees etc. If there is one thing I've learned from years of banging my head against the above walls, then it's that the "build it and they will come" things is a load of BS. If you really want to make a difference, then put your time into doing things other than regurgitating endless lists of ideas. Maybe, just maybe, leading by example is the key to getting others involved...and if not...well at least you've not waste your time.

Next thing you'll be telling us is that the merger was a bad idea...!

WARNING....toys ejected from prams can cause a trip hazard. Proceed with caution.

Better to have a bit of money in the pot for when the right player/s come to light than rush into spending just for the sake of adding another name to the squad.

This week's winner in the First 1000 draw was George Murray : http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/1314-we-have-a-winner--2

Match Ticket prices.... £7 Adult £5 Senior/Student £2 Under 16's

Technically he wasn't released, just not offered a new contract.

Remember children....Don't Do Drugs!!!

Grab the popcorn.....

I thought merging cheese and jam would never work until I actually tried it. Same thing with gin and bitter lemon.

I think we have a habit of playing down just how "high profile" we are as a club...so it's maybe not that big a shocker that clubs of this calibre are as keen to play as us we will be to play them. To my knowledge the game is not the result of any clause, but obviously there's the Andy Shinnie connection which adds a little something extra. As you say, timing of it is good as well....what should be a nice stern test before the new league campaign gets under way. Looking forward to it....and it's a helluva lot less driving than what I had for the round trip to Charlton last year...
