Anyone know if there's any movement to finalising the stands / Tulloch deal? At this rate Brexit will be resolved before this...

I think it was me who first mentioned admin. Albeit sarcastically.

I've never really got the 'we look like Rangers' thing either. That said have stripes as a consistent thing does help create an identity that is unique in Scotland as far as I know. Plus if done right they look better than some random mess akin to the upholstery on a D&E coach.

Yes indeed, seems both strips are changing. Not a huge fan of that, feels needless. Much prefer changing the home one year then away the next (unless of course you have to with a manufacturer change). Feels a wee bit like trying to milk the fans imo. Please let's stick with some form of stripes for the home kit.

I thought we used Lindleys. Must have changed and shock horror nothing was said. Either way the club's serveries are appalling both in price and quality. At least the Tastyness guy supplies decent homemade food.

Prices wouldn't change. One of the vendors there was told to put his prices up by the club to be more in line with the club's own fare.

Sooner County get down below us where they belong the better.

Don't see how it could be a resource issue these days as we seem to (not that it's been made clear) now have a FT person doing Project Brave, a new COO (Yvonne?), 2 Marketing companies plus someone doing the social media. On top of the previous staff. Jim Oliver I guess is replacing Iain Aulds position.

I'm not sure what the ST 'benefits' are next season. The letter mentioned it I think but wasn't specific. I assume it's the usual club shop discount and kids Christmas Party. I've always been surprised we didn't link in with some local businesses and perhaps we could have offered ST holders a discount at their place and offered a free ad hoarding if they pay for it to be made. No cost to the club (plenty spaces), links with local businesses and additional reasons to encouage ST purchase.

Not too upset mysel. £250 over 19 games is £13 a game if all 3 of us make all games (which won't happen) it's about £4.40 each.

The only possible difference for the extra hassle would be that people can't pass their ST card to others when they can't make it. Which actually might put some folk off.

It will be hand scanners according to the lady in the shop. Each will only scan once per game to avoid passing them to others. Presumably the person at the turnstile can manually allow entry if there's some malfunction or breakdown.

Quite honestly given the amount of time a Pro player has spare in the week they could easily do a part time degree or something similar in their twilight years to prepare for football retirement.

£250 for me and the 2 kids. Excellent value and well done for getting them out quickly too.

The CaleyD / Blair empire begins...

So Brora?

Given the 10% shares does CJT have a right to have a representative attend ICT board meetings? Though I don't recall us ever doing that.

Yeah that's true. Guess County fans don't turn up unless Uncle Roy's subsidising the tickets or travel.

Agreed, though I don't know how much of an away gate we make off them as they oddly seem to always bring a pish support.

Ched Evans/ Goodwillie double signing imminent.

Perhaps the announcement that will send fans into fits of rage is that we've extended our catering contract with Lindleys? That's another thing that was going to be tackled from the fans meeting. There were some nice fancy samples put around at the fun day as I remember trying the wraps, but once again that was the last that's heard of it. At least the Taste-T Ness van brings some decent fresh food. At artificially increased prices of course, as I understand he's forced to put them up to stay in line with the club's serveries...

I'd be shocked if they closed the bar (which generates income and is the only one for fecking miles) to put in a museum (which won't make any money). If they put in a wee 'history of ICT and perhaps Caley/Thistle' area it's a nice idea if we had the spare cash and real estate. It's possible that it's being put together by volunteers which is great but there's percious little room at the stadium. Another thing we've never invested in.

Actually, I'm wondering whatever happened to that Stadium Development Project that seemed to be active a while back?

I believe both strips are changing in the summer. Again.
