Her husband's company now does the catering for hospitality and apparently it's much poorer than when red poppy were doing it. Not nepotism though, I'm sure it was a fair tendering process.

Well we don't know who we're playing yet so a wee bit premature to be putting in a preference imo. That said I'd probably choose Hampden anyway.

As nice as it would be, given the weather and salt off the water I wouldn't imagine it would last all that long exposed constantly like that.

Might head down.

OFW is I believe still at the club 'injured' probably until the end of the season when his contract ends. Foran is finished with the gardening and is punting football shirts down the market.

Neither OFW or Polworth will be sold. They will leave for free. Polworth has been offered a new deal but remains to see if he takes it or not.

When Mr Rae took over as Chair and introduced Danny M as COO (a position which disappeared without any announcement) there was a meeting at the stadium which was very well attended. At this meeting with the board if I recall there were PowerPoints with plenty of bullet points of plans and ideas and pictures etc. Whatever happened to all that?

I believe that was the guy who had the car wash on site. He's not there anymore. Rumour was that he was allegedly a bit behind on his rent and this was a way to engraciate himself to the club. That's just a rumour though.

I might be interested if the cash went to youth development, specific stadium project and/or gave some supporter control. Rough estimate this season on what I've spent at ICT (not counting away games) between season tickets, food/drink, strips and merch, daughter's birthday party and mascot package must be over a grand. There's no way I'd put cash into the player budget to help pay for someone who likely works less hours a week than I do and who is better paid than I am.

You?

Good win today. Fairly boring, second half particularly but a well needed 3 points at home.

I certainly had a good time celebrating it last year. Nice to have something positive and any silverware is very welcome. Don't understand the moans.

Settle down mun.

Gregor, did you remember to send your card to Jordan today? ?

Is it a monthly direct debit or a one off yearly payment Gregor?

Chorley Chippendales?

What makes you think that?

If we beat County in the replay we'll likely be away at Dundee Utd on the 2nd of March. ?

When were these invites received?

Doubt it, I'm top banter me. Hopefully we'll meet one day and you'll find out how fun I am. ?

Think I'll have to give this one a miss. Seems very odd though. Typo aside. >Announced with only 3 weeks to go. No time to save up, people often already have plans. Hell, my daughter's 8th birthday party is on the 9th and invitations are out. >£120 a head, way above the affordable range of the average fan. Especially if you're going with the better half. >No mention of anything that actually makes it a special ICT occasion e.g. players from past 25 years on each table/former manager as a speaker etc. Just sounds like the average sportsman dinner affair. >Ryan Esson's testimonial dinner in May is half the price in the same hotel and has at least announced a well known footballing name as a speaker! I'm sure it'll be a nice night but it doesn't look like one designed for fans if I'm being honest. Looks like it was for the corporate/business crowd and it didn't sell enough so has (late in the day) gone out to the average joes.

What size is it?

Yogi wasn't given 'peanuts' though, that's simply not true. He was given a bigger budget than any previous manager. I don't think he was blameless for some of our issues upon his departure as he clearly engineered the situation but yes the board and Foran have to take the bulk of the blame there. Nobody I remember at the time wanted Foran as manager really. More of a wishful 'I like him and I hope he does well.'

Happier, hopeful times.
