Agreed. The club's communication and engagement with fans has certainly been pretty variable over the past decade or so but I do feel that since Scot Gardiner has come to post it's been atrocious, starting with the Pixalot debacle.

I assumed he was referring to our run at the start of the season. None of which were particularly convincing wins but yeah I suppose looking at the whole season we should be grateful for one wholly good performance from twenty four.

I'm not convinced there were massive positives. We scraped most our wins which is fair enough but we never won convincingly or really performed well.

All started going downhill when they stopped publishing the 'fans forum' minutes. Actually, when is the next meeting?

Turgid, one dimensional, no urgency, no plan, no width, no belief, apathetic, I could go on describing that display. Just plain awful watching that today. Could have played another 90 minutes and we'd not have scored. GM were no great shakes but they deserved it.

That's no real surely?

If it wasn't for a gig at the Ironworks I'd definitely be heading over. Hopefully a few hundred make it.

Yes in June last year. Leading the scouting, developing the ladies team, developing training facilities at Ft George, improving fan experience, fan focus group (lol). All well and good but I'd like to maybe hear what's actually happening with any of these or indeed anything else As far as I'm aware of the things above this season we've got two loan players (presumably from scouting) and let the young team use the west stand (as an improvement to their fan experience). That's about it. Maybe there's a heap of other things happening and being planned but as is standard ICT perhaps we're not deemed important enough to be in the loop. Robbo is a nice bloke who is well known and liked locally plus the vast majority of fans relate to him well but he's been virtually anonymous for the last 7 months as far as I can see. However maybe it's just yet another symptom of our woeful communication but I would think he'd be one of the best people to be resolve that.

I'd like him to explain what exactly his role is at the club and secondly how it intersects with Dodds' if at all.

What a div.

Hopefully go some way to pay Gardyne's wages while he browses tinder.

So your Christmas gesture was to sell it? Hope they at least got a festive discount lol.

Out of interest, what would be the process you can see to show evidence of a negative LFT and when it was done? Take it along?

Utterly pathetic. Go one up at home and just fold. Just bizarre, no resilience, grit or leadership on the pitch shown at all. Handed it to Hamilton on a plate after making our usual hard work of scoring.

On at exactly the same time as the Supporters Trust AGM. Genius.

They looked to be having a ball over there in the pishing rain so fair play. Hopefully once a proper roof goes in (not some tarp please God) it'll amplify the sound even more and be even better.

Don't often agree with you Dougal but the evidence would suggest this is bang on.

No easy answers but perhaps the club could initiate some kind of fan's forum or a focus group to throw around ideas? They'd be daft to not want to try and involve fans as much as possible right? To just blank them and ignore would only foster more disengagement from the 'masses' you would think.

Personally I was really more interested in the lawncare options the club has given me.

I assume they haven't actually spoke to any of the young team to see what they think about the suggestion? If they have fair enough. However, I'm not sure how moving the small band of vocal youth et al to the far corner or an West exposed stand, tarp or no is supposed to increase atmosphere. I sit in second E and I don't see the problem where they are. ETA: if they are doing this as a precursor to making the West stand safe standing then it might be received a bit more positively perhaps?

Thing is though, rumours and speculation will always appear particularly given we have an utter void when it comes to connecting with fans and keeping people abreast of team news. I really appreciated the email about lawn care services though.

From what I understand BD may still be isolating (wasn't at game at the weekend) so who's on the bus or not may be affected by other things.

When is this year's AGM?

Blooming soaked after guising tonight. Guess at 41 this might be my last year.

Obviously not. Hence my use of 'my guess' giving it away I assume?
