Planning permission has been sought and plans are in the docs. Would be awesome if it comes to fruition and as someone who was an IRA pupil and used to play on these pitches back in the 90s, I'd love to see them in use again. https://wam.highland.gov.uk/wam/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=S7D0JUIHGU500

I'm no Gardiner fanboy and I'm not sure how much he's been involved anyway as it seems to me to be more from board level. Regardless the club have to look at ways at generating income away from the matchday as we will never make enough from tickets, pies and hospitality to make ourselves viable long term in the Championship. External revenue generation is something that we desperately need and could help us survive long term if done right. If done wrong (like the concerts) then it's a double whammy of losing money and damaging our reputation in the community. This is why imo they lean so much into the good work that the Community Trust do. As they do way more to promote ICT positively in The Highlands than the actual club does.

I wasn't at the meeting nor can I speak to the rest of it but the ICT girls football academy has absolutely no link to the battery project and is entirely self funded. Not sure why Mr Morrison would say that.

If that's the only issue, it would be laughable if it's refused as there seems to be no issues with any other greenspace being gobbled up by Tulloch or any other developers for building houses.

Great write up for the Women's Academy awards evening on Sunday. https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/picture-special-glittering-prizes-as-caley-thistle-women-fc-340019/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

If we hadn't scored a late 1st half goal yesterday fans would have started to turn. We were putrid. I remember similar comments made when Hughes first came in about boring 'tippy tappy' possession football. That did come good over time (at least for a while) however the biggest difference between now and then is the calibre of players is vastly different. I don't think we have good enough players to play that way to a consistently effective level. We are quite honestly, turgid and very rarely have any urgency in counterattack or when on the offence. I hope that they do manage to turn it around and make it more effective and produce better results, time will tell.

Doran would be the obvious choice.

He doth protest too much methinks. Can't believe you actually typed that all out

Too many bloody clickbait proponents on here.

Very tough game this afternoon and a not altogether unexpected scoreline given the gulf in resources. Fantastic to see over 1000 in attendance though.

No. This simply cannot be true anyway as the club would have surely kept us in the loop. Communication is always on point.

Some people do like Tennents

"Who put the 'O' and the 'Y' in County?"

ICTWFC Academy is looking for coaches. Experience is great but not necessary.

Can't beat that authentic 70s/80s ICT merch!

Craig, Dan and the guys do a fantastic job

I don't think Dodds is narcissistic (others at the club clearly are) I think he's just pretty clueless.

You used to get team lines from inside the shop but i just get them on the ICT Facebook page or on Twitter.

I'm being optimistic and going for 6th - mid table mediocrity.

I'd actually love to see TB as the Director of Football (or sport or whatever the hell they call it).

That was some morning at the SWF U14s North Highlands League Cup final! ICT U14s Reds V an undefeated Ross County U14s. 0-0 at full time. 1-1 AET (both goals in the last 4 minutes! ). Ended 8-7 on penalties for the girls in Red & Blue. The girls showed absolute grit and determination to hold their nerve through the penalties after 90 mins of football against girls, some of whom were 3 or 4 years older. Well done to all the ICT girls and the coaches for fostering such an awesome team spirit

Well, he sees fans forums as a waste of time (cancelled them), sees the ST as non representative (without any indication of what is representative in his view) and won't enter into any meaningful dialogue, sees fans complaining online as 'clickbait proponents', sees the matchday survey as 'too negative' (if rumours are to be believed and I quite believe them), sees a public fans meeting as just people venting their spleen and in general people unhappy are just the 'noisy minority'. Everything can just be dismissed away with the wave of a hand. So the silent majority are all tickety bo and there's no issues that need to be addressed, therefore, 'I'm doing a great job'

https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/sport/we-have-to-suck-it-up-icts-gardiner-on-board-criticism-327058/?fbclid=IwAR1GyYz4yZAJ5_4PjJ-WXTX33ZD48VAQgs6GPjBZ8mS8F08C9341TYRXsFw Seems to me going by these comments that nothing around the culture at the club will change until SG goes. Dismissive of the fans and completely unable to take any criticism or responsibility. Puts it on the minority of 'noisy people' Totally dismissive of the Supporters Trust without naming them. "They're meeting in the Innes Bar, and hopefully everyone vents their spleen if they want to do that. Hopefully it's constructive, and then I would hope they're all coming to the game afterwards." So basically go have your little whine and a moan to yourselves, then shut up and get to the game and spend your money. When will folk realise that the club have absolutely zero interest in what the fans think or what their concerns are. Doesn’t matter if that's through the Trust or any other group or individual. He gets paid regardless. They are the 'noisy minority' and 'clickbait proponents' he keeps telling himself that and absolutely nothing about the willfully ignorant culture at the club will change until the CEO goes. It's just about the crap results on the park the CEO says and while they are obviously having a huge negative impact it's way more than that. It's the first time in my life as an ICT supporter where I've felt the club just don't give a toss.

C'mon man. I finally convinced the wife to let me go to the pub before a game cos I told her there was an important business meeting to attend
