think they all went to the Caddy reading woodwork whilst I graduated wif fek all from The High. I'm still pretty yooffool as well tho.?

is that wee stuart speed next to doc fettes?

I see the "Grant" boys are still trying and Fyfe is so close to the chairman we can read the price tag on the soles of his shoes!

what money?

why do you think the savco situation may be potentially damaging?

oor Tommy doesn't do singing ?

what a shambles. if this organisation fails the supporters give up our 10% voting power which we may need to use in the future. sad to see this situation.

It's more than an old boys club/old mates society this club needs now. I'm sure he will talk a lot of sense but I don' see him having any influence

very informative CaleyD. thanks.

I also couldn't care less who runs our club but we are in a mess and we desperately need people on the board who can either provide investment or at least attract it and have the business leadership to get us out of the mess. If not we are BUST

yet another shafting engineered by the builder. let's not forget this was the only way the legacy from Caley and Thistle could be retained and now it's in the hands of a totally inefficient organisation which is rudderless. I wonder what the legal position is here?

In the main I agree Charles, but it doesn't really matter how these people acquired their shares. Financially the shares are not worth a penny but they control this club and my only interest is that the club survives. We need MONEY/INVESTMENT to achieve this but If you have any better ideas please share them.

I think you know exactly what I mean Charles. If you held the level of shares the McGilvray family and Alan Savage own surely you would want a very strong representation on the board to ensure their investment is secure. With the greatest respect to Gordon Fyfe, Ì am sure his PR ability is not under question but I don't think he moves in circles which would attract the investment needed here or make a personal investment to justify a seat on the board. Times have changed when it was ok to sit on the board with a small shareholding. In my opinion directors should have a minimum £50k shareholding or at least represent someone holding that level but again that is just my view. We need to attract big investment to this club or we go bust - simple - just look at the balance sheet.

do you mean the organisation responsible for transferring the lease to others with commercial objectives?

I think I'll wait and see how this works out as our club needed someone with access to much needed funding. I don't even know if he holds any shares but I suppose it's easy enough to check. sorry to see even our major shareholders don't have a seat on the board.

Spot on. Being run by a group of plonkers sitting round a table talking about a product they new nothing about has murdered this club.

Unfortunately all good things come to an end some time.

didn't think for one moment that fans attended just for pies

can't remember how much we had to pay last time but I don't think it was £20 (and the pies were better and cheaper)

we already have a lottery, the centenary club.

bizarre? too many secrets at this club so if you don't mind I'll ask questions thru channels I feel appropriate. i don't suppose i will get an answer if the club are not making contributions to compare with the likes of hamilton motherwell and killie. If our pr people feel its good to tell they will answer thru any channel.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe all future questions relating to the club should be made direct instead of on this forum.

What a bright idea.

Although your post is informative Tree, are you in a position to answer the question of how much the club is investing in this area?

when you consider the objective of our youth development department and the exceptional return in our short history, it may now be appropriate to ask, in the interests of being open with fans, just how much the Club (not the sfa or sponsors) actually invests in this area and how much would need to be invested to attain the top level?
