ICT Supporters Trust

A friend of Stewart Coghill has started a crowd funder, prompted by Stewart's story, which you can read here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/PippaGrainge?utm_id=108&utm_term=jx2vnnvyb&sfnsn=scwspwa Stewart does an immense power of work behind the scenes for the Supporters Trust, which we are very thankful for. Amongst many other things, Stewart maintains the Trust website, does all our creatives, and was very heavily involved in the Matchday Experience Survey. At Stewart's request, a share of the proceeds will be coming to the Trust, but we must also recognise the great work carried out by the Stoke Mandeville Spinal Unit. Please take time to read the story in the link, and if you feel motivated to contribute, Pippa, Stewart and the Trust Board will be very grateful.

It is only a couple of days until the last entries can be made for the prize of Robbo's rare shirt to raise funds to assist Aaron in his recuperation. If you have not entered, the link is here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/aaron-doran-rehab-fund

I hope the Mods don't mind, but John Robertson has asked the Trust to highlight this crowdfunder that is in place to assist Aaron through his lengthy rehabilitation. The prize is a Scotland top with John's name on it, which as you will see in the link is genuinely rare. Entries are £10 or £20 for three. Full details here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/aaron-doran-rehab-fund

The Supporters Trust has issued a fresh statement about the ongoing situation today, which is being sent to all members. You can read it on this link: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/statement-pre-season-2024 The Trust Board will continue to work on behalf of our members and the wider fan base, and we would welcome further members. Anyone joining now will have their membership apply until the end of July 2025. You can join using this link: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/join-us Many of you who supported our Stronger Together initiative indicated (understandably) that you would not contribute as long as the CEO was at the club. Given that the club has publicly confirmed that they have accepted his resignation, you can use the link below to contribute to this initiative, either through a subscription or by making a donation. As confirmed before, the Trust Board will only use this to purchase shares in the club when it is has sought and received commitments from the club Board on behalf of the Trust's members: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/stronger-together

Following the expiry of many contracts on Sunday, and the comments made by Mark Ridgers, Cammy MacKay and Wallace Duffy, the Supporters Trust has issued a press statement thanking all out of contract players for their contribution to the club, and is shocked and dismayed by the lack of contact made with them by the club regarding their position. The press statement has been e-mailed to all members, and can be viewed here: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/out-of-contract-players We will continue to work on behalf of our members and the wider fan base, and we would welcome further members.

Given today's news, and the comments we received from many who supported our Stronger Together initiative that they (understandably) would not contribute to the initiative whilst the CEO was at the club, now is a good time to "bump" this thread so you can easily see how to contribute. Full details are also on the Trust website by following the "donate" button at: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/stronger-togetherd

In the immediate aftermath of yesterday's announcement by the club, members of the Supporters Trust Board were very busy responding to the content, doing interviews with BBC, STV and MFR, whilst the Courier published an article based on one interview that took place a few minutes after the release was issued: https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/sport/supporters-trust-call-latest-ict-statement-step-in-the-rig-352519/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook We have seen this morning's breaking media reports and it is clear that things are moving very quickly at the club. Once again, we thank all our members for their feedback and continued support. We continue to attract new members, which we are delighted about.

Further to launching the survey on Wednesday, we have e-mailed this update to members this morning. The survey is open to all fans, so please share it widely. And a very big welcome to all our new members who have joined the Trust recently. Thank you for your support.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Fans Meeting on Tuesday, and to everyone who has sent us supportive messages or filled in the survey. A note of the discussion has been e-mailed to members and posted on our website, and you can read it here: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/update-ictfc-fans-open-meeting-28-05-24 If you are not already a member of the Trust (anyone joining now will have their membership apply until the end of July 2025) you can join using this link: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/join-us Use this link to make a subscription or donation to Stronger Together, and we would highlight again that the Trust Board will only use this to purchase shares in the club when it is has sought and received commitments from the club Board: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/stronger-together

The text below is from an e-mail shared with members yesterday, but we welcome responses to the survey from all fans:

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts Scotty. Those are pertinent items that we expect to be discussing tomorrow evening, and we are looking for the views of fans as to the steps the Trust could be taking following recent events.

Just a reminder about the Fans Meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) at 7 pm in the Caley Club. We have had an incredible response to the meeting so if you plan to attend and have not yet registered, please do so using the QR code in the image below, or by clicking on "I'll be there" on this link: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/events-1/ictfc-fans-open-meeting-everyone-welcome-5 There is going to be a very big attendance, so you may wish to arrive early particularly if you need to park close to the Caley Club. Thank you for all the supportive messages we have received over the weekend, and a warm welcome to the many new members who have joined us recently. If you are not already a member of the Trust (anyone joining now will have their membership apply until the end of July 2025) you can join using this link: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/join-us Use this link to make a subscription or donation to Stronger Together, and we would highlight again that the Trust Board will only use this to purchase shares in the club when it is has sought and received commitments from the club Board: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/stronger-together

We deliberately did not invite members of the Board to attend tomorrow's meeting, as we feel this should be a forum for fans to discuss the position the club is in, rather than for the meeting to be a Q&A with a representative of the Board. However, the meeting is open to all fans (please register though!), so Scott Young is welcome to attend.

We have had requests for this, but given the layout of the room and the time available to get anything in place, we have concluded that it is not a practical option. We do hope to put a summary of the discussion on our social channels and on CTO following the meeting.

Following today's announcement by the club, the Supporters Trust has released this statement tonight: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/ict-supporters-trust-statement-on-ictfc-decision-to-move-training-base-to-kelty We have seen the emotion this announcement has caused, and have had more than 50 new members join the Trust today alone, which reflects and vindicates our desire to speak on behalf of our members and achieve a meaningful voice of the fans in the running of our club. We are grateful for all the messages of support we have received, and for the confidence shown in us by our existing and new members. We will continue to work hard on your behalf.

As promised in our earlier message, we have attached the flyer with the QR codes here: please register your interest if you are planning to attend, even if you registered for the previous date of 4 June. We would also like to welcome the significant number of new members who have joined us this week. We are very grateful for your support, and please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas with us.

Given the increasing volume of concerns voiced by fans following today's statement about the club's training facilities being moved to Kelty, coming on top of relegation and other events within the club, the Supporters Trust has brought forward the date of the Fans Meeting, and it will now take place at 7pm on Tuesday 28 May at the Caley Club. All fans are welcome to attend the meeting, where members of the Supporters Trust Board will lead a discussion on the serious issues facing the club, update on recent activity by the Trust and hear your views on steps the Trust can take at this time. An image will be added below, which will contain details of the meeting, including QR codes where you can register to attend the meeting (we had a lot of interest in the original date, so it will be very helpful if you can register your interest if you plan to attend), join the Supporters Trust, or make a donation to our Stronger Together initiative.

In light of today's announcement about the club training at Kelty next season, the meeting on 4 June has been rescheduled and will now take place at 7pm at the Caley Club on Tuesday 28 May. We had a lot of interest in the original meeting so it would be helpful, if you plan to attend, if you could register your interest in the meeting. A fresh thread will be started shortly for the new meeting date.
