Fraz

I have to be honest, I spent most of the ST money I put aside on car repairs a couple of weeks ago and being on holiday just now, then Belladrum coming up it's looking less and less likely I will be getting a ST at all for the coming year.

I have relegated 100% less clubs than Ferguson. Give me a 3 year deal on 4k a week and I'll give it a bash. I have my UEFA Grassroots Leader Award and will do my C- Licence if ICT pay for it too. ETA- already live local in a Tulloch house so no need for expensive additional housing costs.

Also could put on a Credit Card which should give further protections.

Still nothing on the away kit. So unlike the club to miscommunicate, say things and then go silent, leaving everyone shrugging their shoulders. People will start thinking we're an inept and disfunctional football club.

"There is… another… Skywalker."

Virtually everyone I've spoken with (who hasn't renewed) has said they they will once they are assured Gardiner has left. Hardly scientific but I do speak with quite a few ICT fans.

I see that they have extended the early bird period until July 16th

I believe that we're banking on a monorail to be built between the stadium and Kelty which will solve all our woes (optional stop may be built at North Haverbrook)

Should also note that ST's are now digital and cards are an additional £5.

Yeah. It's utterly crazy that there hasn't been any kind of push to sell ST's aside from one X/Facebook post.

A lot of assumptions there.

Hope our accommodation costs for him aren't too high. Shame there were no local keepers available.

Well, I'm sure that was on merit. Forfar fans saying he's honking.

That's exactly what it feels like. Surely no club could be so clueless and incompetent as to act this way. The only reasonable explanation is that this is by design. It's made even more ridiculous as most fans are looking for some positivity, some kind of reason to reconnect, get their season tickets, to buy the merch. However the club refuse to communicate anything to fans (or players for that matter) regarding, well anything at all. Utterly bizarre and pathetic in equal measure.

Been saying for years he's a *** tbh. From the Pixalot and Fan's Forum debacle it was clear he was useless and didn't want any fan engagement whatsoever. I emailed him after 'bald linesman gate' outlining a bunch of suggestions to improve the offering and the awful commentary. No acknowledgement at all. Emailed re the fans forum, same effect, emailed re family events no reply, emailed re kids Christmas parties, guess what? Only in the last few months have I ever had any kind of reply from Scott Young on the SLO email. Hell, fans of various clubs were laughing at us and saying we'd made a massive mistake as he was utterly incompetent wherever he has been (similar to Ferguson). We are generally such a passive support though and even if we spoke up, what avenue would we have? Gardiner set it up so that absolutely everything had to go through him, had no SLO and no present board. Even if we got through to the board they seemed to be besotted by Gardiner for some utterly baffling reason.

'Alexa. Email the youth players' - A Board member probably.

Awesome to hear, all the best lad!

I don't think he ever was. Just a massively overpaid big name ego booster for our lingering CEO.

I've heard the hall has been booked at the Hilton Community Centre from Wednesday.

I don't think there's anything to be gained going back and forth with this. You feel SG hasn't had any influence as to what's been happening on the pitch and all we need to do is give the club more money. Got it.

We used to do it alternative years but if memory serves since moving to Puma it's been 2 new strips every season. I presume to make more money.

You do you man. I think it's kinda bizarre and naive to suggest the dictator, sorry CEO of an organisation for 5 years has no bearing in its results. Did they not have significant bearing on the appointments such as the snr management? They also set the tone for how the organisation treats it's partners and customers. Also somewhat odd to suggest that money I put into the club doesn't go into his pocket. That's literally what happens while he's still employed and I'd imagine he's the highest paid person there bar 'Dollar bills' Duncan. If you're happy with your decision and the recent statement, that's great. I won't stop supporting ICT but I'm tired of been taken for a mug and it's the only power I have.

I assume you're talking directly to me (best to quote so it's clear). I'm not sure how clear I can be. I decided some months ago well before the Kelty nonsense etc that I will not be back at Caley Stadium if Scot Gardiner is there. He's still there and the club refuse to say how long that will be for. I don't care if he's working his notice or not, that makes no difference to me. Gardiner should have been fired long ago for his utter incompetence but he's still around on his terms. The fact that the board have not apologised or taken any accountability for the mess we are in also speaks volumes and I see little to suggest things have changed. I WANT to renew and go and support the team as I've done for 15 years. The club still make that impossible for me to do at this moment.

Then I'll be buying my tickets in August. Assuming my seats are still available. Again folk are all guessing because the club, shock horror refuses to give any information.

Thing is as well, what will the dressing room be like when the local guys know that he doesn't really want or rate them them but is only using them out of necessity. Hardly going to be good for the 'togetherness'. Perhaps with his fantastic managerial skills and man management that we've seen, he'll pull it all together
