Statement from Caley Jags Together on "Offensive Singing" http://ictsupporterstrust.co.uk/news/19-press-releases/259-offensive-singing-statement Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC issued a statement to fans via their website on 28th December 2012 regarding “Offensive Singing” at the Highland Derby. This statement contained advice from the Police and Procurator Fiscals Office warning that “singing or chants which could be deemed offensive to groups or communities such as travellers are deemed an offence under the law in Scotland and therefore anyone caught singing them is liable to criminal prosecution” In response to a request from fans, as well as our own concerns about the way legislation is being attached to this matter, the Caley Jags Together board have decided to seek legal advice which will be followed by a request for an urgent meeting with Northern Constabulary and the club to establish what is acceptable to sing or chant at football matches between Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC and Ross County FC, and to make the fan’s views about this known. Caley Jags Together will update all fans as soon as possible on this subject, hopefully before the next meeting between the two sides.

We've learned a few things whilst organising this game....one of which is that the things that we thought restricted us to using an international break aren't actually as much of a restriction as we believed. This means that we can be a bit more flexible in rescheduling and is one of the reasons we didn't opt for continuing tomorrow and just moving the game to the all weather. The club have been, and continue to be, extremely helpful and are as eager to find a new date as we are so once we get a moment we'll sit down and sort out a new date.

CaleyJags Together and ICTFC have decided that tomorrow’s match between Legends and Fans in POSTPONED due to the prolonged wet weather. We can’t risk cutting up the pitch or ignoring the safety issues that would arise due to standing water – and there’s (at least) another inch of rain forecast. We’re really sorry about it but there’s nothing we can do in this situation apart from reschedule. The club are keen to get another date sorted as soon as is practical, as are we, and we'll let you know the moment that has been agreed. If you have any queries about the game, phone Davie on 07884224423. We hope to see you all at the rescheduled game

As promised....further information on the Fans v Legends Match can be found by CLICKING HERE

Further information on how you can become a part of the Fans Squad and play against the Legends will follow in due course.

- Been getting it wrong loads and having to correct myself all day, better go check I've not screwed it up anywhere else.

Anyone who is/was a "live" member of the Supporters Trust will see their membership continue (although renewals will be due shortly and we'll be in touch about that). Members of the Supporters Club (who were not also members of the Supporters Trust) should have received a form with the last letter to complete and return. If not then I've attached a form to this post for you....this form can also be used by anyone else who wishes to join. Any forms which currently have Supporters Trust on them are valid for joining Caley Jags Together....this is because we are aware that there's forms out there we cannot quickly call back/replace, so easier for everyone that we continue to accept those. Any forms received in the last couple of weeks where no acknowledgement has been received.....we are in the process of changing over our membership administration processes and with everything else that's being going on then a small number of those are still to be processed. These are now in the hands of the Members Secretary and you should get an acknowledgement in the next couple of days. We are also coming up to the annual renewal date so members will be getting details of that process within the next couple of weeks. Those who have joined more recently will not need to do anything to renew as you are deemed to be signed up through 2012/13. If you think your contact details have changed since we last contacted you, please send your new details to admin@ictst.co.uk and we will updated them. If you can give us your member number (these will not change for existing members) that would be helpful, but not essential. New Membership Cards and Share Certificates (with the new name "Caley Jags Together") will be sent out as people renew and to those who;ve joined more recently who do not need to reneww this time. We've not yet got these printed up as we were waiting for confirmation of the new name/logo etc and didn't want to waste money printing old name etc, only to then get them done again. We'll update you on when to expect these in due course. As Renewal Fee is currently set at zero, this negates the need for us to be sending out new cards in future years, so the card you get this time will become your card for the forseeable (so keep it safe as we'll charge you for a replacement). Just one of the things we are doing to reduce overheads in admin time and costs. At the moment it's a bit like "organised chaos", especially with so many other things going on with football, but we are in control of that chaos and come the end of year on August 31st all the new process will click into place and we can move forward in a far more organised and professional manner. One final thing. It's inevitable that the odd reference will be made to Supporters Club or Supporters Trust in places such as the website, facebook etc during the transition. All of these should be taken to mean "Caley Jags Together" and web address, email addresses, letterheads and all other material will be changed in due course. Old web URL's and e.mail addresses will be redirected and continue to work for the forseeable. We appreciate everyones patience and understanding during the transition period, however should you have any questions or wish to highlight something you think we might have missed then please do contact us via email on admin@ictst.co.uk - We'd rather get 100 e.mails about something we are already aware of than none about something we've missed. Thanks. cjt_mem_app_a4.pdf

Amazing start to the new season with the first bus already full and taking bookings for a second. It's going to be a great day out....don't miss it....book your space on the bus by calling 07951 309504.

I have no real desire to be getting into petty squabbles with anyone over the name of the organisation....and I did not say you were not a member of the Supporters Club (or Caley Jags Together for that matter). I have no way of knowing if you are a member or not and had actually assumed you were given your concern over the name, my reference to non-members was merely that their feedback is, as stated, also appreciated. You are never going to please all the people all the time, and it's inevitable that some will like the name better than others. What actually matters is what the organisation does and what it achieves.

Thank you, feed back from non-members is also appreciated.

There was never a £1 membership for the Travel Club, so I'm assuming you joined the (as was) Trust....in which case you will have received a letter explaining that nothing changes in respect of your membership.

For those who have not picked up the news from elsewhere yet, we released a statement today explaining that Inverness Caledonian Thistle Supporters Trust and Supporters Club have come together to form a single fan’s organisation which will be known as ‘Caley Jags Together’.
