I noticed that and it made little sense to me. Players meet at the stadium and are taken in a minibus to training I understand and are on the team bus for away games so what petrol costs are the club expected to pay? What other basic costs do the club cover? As far as I'm aware, all staff are still being paid so what's the issue? Odd.

Exactly this. Why would anyone come in now and take on the full ridiculous debt the moronic predecessors (and some current board) got us into rather than wait a bit and likely get things at a reduced cost?

Next up Michelle Mone will be bidding with her taxpayer COVID millions from her yacht in the Bahamas.

Gardiner: ‘I have a fantastic relationship with countless Caley Thistle supporters’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 😂 Fking 🔔🔚 he is.

If Ferguson really wanted to help the club out he'd quit. Working for free does not entitle him to be free of criticism. We'd be better with a cheap semi competent manager than a (temporarily) free, terrible one. I didn't expect we'd take much from the Livi game so to take it to penalties isn't terrible imo. What's awful is Ferguson's repetitive excuses. If it's not the young players, it's the referee's, if it's not the referee, it's the pitch. How does an astro affect a professional footballers ability to convert a penalty I wonder? Anyway I'm off to see if the Scotland game is on at the bar in my hotel here in Turkey. Fingers crossed they don't, not sure I can take more dissapointment 😂

I know that they have put a huge amount of work into it and have already moved there as their admin base of operations away from the stadium.

It's pathetic And tedious.

The problem with using that metric obviously is the away fan numbers which will skew it massively. There's definitely a drop off in home fans as we go down the leagues though, no question. Home numbers have never been great.

His position with the Community Trust has nothing to do with his position on the ICT board though and absolutely nothing to do with the financial situation we're in. Just looked like a massive deflection to me.

Can anyone explain what the point of Gordon Fyfe is? Sat looking like Joe Biden as in he might dose off. Then comes to life with a rapturous speech about the great work of the Community Trust, which has absolutely fk all to do with the issues of the club. Also him being the one as far as I can recall who's been there throughout this shambolic downfall yet never answered a damn thing.

Women's team and academy get absolutely nothing financial from the club other than a set of strips for the women's 1st team squad every now and then. If by youth you mean the ICT Community Trust then they are already a separate organisation and very well run in their own right. I'd also like to say that in my opinion both the above have done more for the ICT name locally and with the community in the last several years than the actual club.

If there was a clear achievable plan and this £200k meant that we would be back on an even keel for the foreseeable then perhaps more folk would be interested in donating. Maybe that will come but any kind of sensible approach would have the plan outlined before the plea for more cash to the fans you've ignored and maligned for half a decade. I don't think the target will be reached in any case if I'm being honest.

I don't think it is the time tbh. I've not donated and I don't plan to unless there's some coherent plan beyond 'give us £200k to keep us going another few weeks, and suggestions to solve the ****-show we've been at the wheel off for years on the back of a postcard please.'

ICT in organisational shambles. I'm shocked.

The SLO is now the Chairman. What a club. Next week Christine will be the Chair.

I doubt any group or individual would want to invest in us until there are assurances around our viability and clarity with our financial situation.

It's very telling as to the competency of the SG era and the relationships the club has with local businesses currently when we have zero corporate hospitality bookings and the club couldn't even (or even bother to?) get a table or two sold. Keith H is the commercial director and doesn't have the contacts/ relationships to sell a few seats for a curry? That's concerning.

I'd assume so. He must have some kind of registration number that can be checked on the SFA's comet system. They have that for coaches so likely similar. As for payment, not sure but there must be some recompense.

Referee went off injured and they had to get a fan to run the line (he is a qualified ref).

Well that was horrendous. Thank goodness we're on a grass pitch 🤣

Clearly excitement reaching fever pitch for this scintillating 0-0.

Possibly, I understand there was at least 20 in our group I was booked in with. At the end of the day £50 (or £70 with no ST) isn't cheap for essentially a curry, 2 beers and a pie. However for me it was a chance to celebrate a new fresh start at the club and get the craic with a group of friends I've not seen much off and rarely get all together. Plus give the club a few quid in the process. I know most of the group is pretty gutted. Now looking at alternative options in town.

FYI for anyone who may have been interested, it's been cancelled due to lack of numbers.

Gardiner now wants one million dollars!
