Credit where credit is due Big Dunc got the result despite his many doubters so he should be loudly applauded for that alone. 
We are obviously not still safe but it gives us a platform for the last few games and it’s basically in our own hands. 
Even more surprising though seeing the Immoral Green brigader at the game tickets at Porkheid must be on the scarce side while the title race is so tight.

Well done to Big Dunc and the players delighted for Cameron Harper being a local

Signed Danger beyond belief these Neanderthals are allowed to wander the streets of sneck. 
Sad reality is though that there are more than likely a number of ICT on here that are Campsie members and endorse this

Dougal

This might not be a popular opinion with some but i feel it needs to be said I don’t think anyone in a sane mind would set up a monthly direct debit to a  football club that has been a financial catastrophe for years. 
This is the same club that still owns  numerous local businesses money after the concert fiasco if I’m not mistaken. Will this extra income go to paying off the debt?

Maybe the trust need to expand further where this extra money should go or be directed towards? 

Do the Trust honestly believe having a Trust member on the board will seriously make a difference? Same member will be outvoted at every given opportunity by the existing so called guardians of the club!!!
 

As STFU states above there must be other options for action and this is what the Trust should be looking at.

Dougal
 

In principal the idea is ok I suppose but sadly ICT don’t have the fanbase for such an initiative to be viable.

Ok the Trust or whatever they call themselves now are trying their best but the reality is that blazers have never once engaged with the fans and I include every board here not just the present.

Stronger Together also sounds like a Unionist term unfortunately but i guess possibly cleverly it may well pander to the Orc regime upstairs. 

Good luck to the Trust nevertheless.

Yeh… whatever rocks your boat. If you want to make a big song and dance over the fact that I might better have included the words “clubs like”…. on you go.

Not sure who is the bigger troll here?

Regardless, absolutely outstanding bait from both Big Dunc in his rambling nonsensical interview or the equally daft Infertile Green Brigader I tip my cap to both. 

When is the next circus due in town  two candidates to dance about the big top in the car park me thinks.

Based on profitability from our CEO and Chairman's previous ventures, we'll probably add a million to the debt.

Quite frightening how things are going

There is no cost for the appeal and if the case is as robust as the club claim, then they won't need much, if any, additional professional input.

Instigating legal action against the council is a whole different matter.

Ok fair enough I’m quite happy to be corrected. 
So if we won the appeal how much of the reported 3.4 million we receive installing the battteries goes to pay off debt?

Dougal

An appeal is all very good but it will cost considerable money to do so. Let’s hope the money comes out of the same pot that pays Big Duncan’s huge wage.

This ain’t going to end well. 
 

Dougal 

I was wishing the big man well when he arrived but it’s becoming apparently clear he hasn’t a clue what he’s doing? 

Let’s be honest the marquee manager signing was a smokescreen to take the heat of a very incompetent board to give them time to try and get the battery fiasco pipe dream through. 

I actually feel sorry for Duncan coming into this mess.

Staunch Gardiner. Surprised he didn't give them an honour guard and a parade at half time with a flute band. 

From what I’m heard in the pub last night the next Apprentice Boys of Derry march in Sneck could well be starting from the Dump’s car park.

Anyway how was your night in the Drummossie you rough this morning ?

The arrogance and enthusiasm are appalling again in that statement. All the emotive language and the general toys out of the pram attitude will win no one over and is no doubt a major cause of this calamity.

Well said Danger all that’s missing is “No-one likes but we don’t care” WATP

The similarities between ICT and the old Rangers is uncanny let’s hope we don’t end up in the same predicament. 

Teuchters trying to act like the old firm is not a good route to go down we are a lot better than that.

Dougal
 

Ok I have maybe mentioned this once or twice before but never ever underestimate the contempt from Invernessians towards ICT some might even call it hatred.
I can’t think of any other large town or city in Scotland whose inhabitants do not engage with their local team. 

This whole Battery fiasco has damaged our reputation further which was already rock bottom after the concert travesty. 

The email campaign to councillors was also a complete disaster.  I’m not saying all emails would have been nonsense but it only takes one or two illiterate halfwits to ruin the whole exercise which certainly seems to have happened here.

So the Highland Council are now all of a sudden the bad guys. This would be the same Council who gifted The club 900k to build the dump out of the Inverness common good fund.  Short memories eh? 

Where this leaves us I do not know but the lack of communication from the so called guardians says it all. The Council are not to blame here the incompetent boards past and present are!!!!

It would be interesting to see the Caley shirt sales compared to Clach this season. I wonder if you are right in thinking that Clach have sold more.

I don’t think I said Clach sell more tops than ICT but they most definitely do in the Merkinch .

County and Loch Ness Fc on the other hand outsale ICT tenfold.

Like you say it would be very interesting to see sales figure etc being released but you know and I know this will never happen it’s just like season ticket numbers it’s like a secret that never gets disclosed!

Not my experience, I see plenty of shirt wearing young scrotes kicking about in Caley tops, and can't recall seeing many young Gypos clad in County colours.

You are obviously frequenting the more affluent/middle class areas of Sneck then I would suggest. 

Working class /communities you are more likely to see County, Clach and other SPL tops.

The attendance figure given yesterday was 2035!!!!! Ok we have been falsifying the  figures now for decades but that has to be the biggest exaggeration yet that’s just embarrassing. Lucky that’s there 1000 there going by that highlights and even that’s being kind.

Cue the happy clappers stating that there was constant big queues for pies etc, Season tickets are included if they were there or not patter etc.

I very much doubt Mick Dundee(Caley 100) and his entourage going walkabout in the outback made that much a difference somehow. 

Why can’t the club be honest with the fans even with something so simple in its nature.

I know lots of clubs not just ICT do this but what is the point? 
 

Baffled.

 One would hope that all councillors representing Inverness wards would consider themselves as supporters of the City's largest football club even if only on the basis of the fact that it brings revenue into the area. 

 

Good one Doofersdad I know I’ve had about six or seven pints now and I’m finding pretty much everything funny but that’s a belter

Dougal

I’m going to spend the afternoon in the Tarry the glenalbyn and the gellions.

Much more welcoming establishments than the dump currently. 
 

Dougal

The article in the courier gives an eye watering account what certain communities in Inverness think of ICT. 

I wouldn’t be surprised there will be more councillors that will voice their opinion now against the clubs proposal directly as a result of this pointless meeting that the so called guardians thought was a good idea. 

ICT have made firm enemies from the birth  whether that being the business world the local authorities or the run of the mill day to day punters. 
This latest debacle adds to the number of growing dissenters will they ever learn from previous mistakes? I.e the concert fiasco. 
The answer is NO.

Pains me to say this but we are definitely  not a community club unlike our neighbours further north. 

The meeting has backfired badly. 

Dougal 
 

The so called guardians and a fair number of fans on here should also remember the Highland Council represent the whole of the Highlands not just the city of Inverness. 

This very blinkered centralised view is not healthy at all.

Dougal 
 

This latest revelation is deeply concerning I sincerely hope I’m wrong but this sort of move looks like we are indeed heading for part time football. 
When you have Forfar fans saying he is possibly the worst player they have ever seen at Station park it’s worrying to say the least.

That last paragraph is an absolute mess; the first sentence does not make sense, and the whole things is brimming with a sense of passive-aggressive entitlement.

I’d agree with you danger all that’s missing is WATP to sign it off. 
Definitely has a no one likes us but we don’t care kind of sentiment and entitlement to it.
The club have alienated itself from many local businesses and now seems to be doing the same with the local authority.

A very dangerous route to go down if you ask me.

Delighted to be proved wrong certainly did not see that one coming. 
Absolutely over the moon for Billy McKay after last weeks debacle.
