  1. Or in the words of Mr Gardiner, "Clickbait Proponents"
  2. Clach, but never to the extent I support the club now... ...at least until a phoenix club appears, then its home and away in the Sneckie District League
  3. He put us on that life support machine in the first place. Things were going relatively swimmingly under Kenny Cam Nothing changes the fact that without him the club dies instantly, unless another rich fool can be found first. Cameron was the one who was responsible for the start of our financial troubles. Allowed Hughes to sign up players on contracts we couldn't afford and them appointed Foran on a 4 year contract. Bollocks, have you forgotten Mr Rae? That, sadly, is probably the grim reality. This is a time when all who want a rosy future for the club need to bury their differences and try to find a way out of the mess. From a fans' perspective we need the Supporters Trust to be as strong and representative as possible. A strong fans voice at Board level needs to be part of the solution. Tbf my knowledge of chairmen kinda evaporates in the times before KC. The nostalgia of when we were good kinda just blanks out all the uh ohs If he’d allowed Yogi to speak to United in the first place I don’t think we’d be in this situation. Graham Rae came in after relegation (there were a few short term appointments) and was there for two years, his regime brought Gardiner in, and Ross Morrison was vice chair. Ross Morrison isn't the money man that some seem to think he is. It's David Cameron and Alan Munro (with one non board member) who have been carrying the bulk of the financial burden the last few years. Getting rid would have zero financial implications for the club. Well FOOLS we certainly seem to find easily ! That’s interesting. But Morrison must have been putting significant money in recently because he’s been granted security over the clubs assets until he gets repaid, no? No, it could mean that he's put in money he can't afford, or is unwilling to lose, unlike others. We're getting a little off topic for this thread, sorry, but it got me thinking and we could actually end up in a situation where the club is forced into administration before the planning appeal is heard, Ross Morrison gets control of the battery storage company through the charge, Scottish Government overturn the refusal, and he pockets the £3.4 million. If anyone is looking for a conspiracy, and if my understanding of the charge is correct, then Ross Morrison could be seen as having a vested interest in the club going into administration. In earlier years, Tulloch put £5 million into the club and then Muirfield Mills contributed almost £1 million. More recently there’s been more cash put in by various people in an ongoing battle against administration. Some of this has been by share purchase, which is traceable through Companies House, and we suspect that there’s also been a fair bit of cash loaned by people both within and outwith the board. We have a fair idea of who they may be, but how much is less clear. For them, this is a bit like a game of Pontoon. Stick or twist? Hope it doesn’t go bust so you lose everything you have put in … unless you have preferred creditor status. The question is - for how long can this go on, with constant heavy losses covered by benefactors on a hand to mouth basis? Meanwhile, over the bridge, it’s not that different, except that it’s easier to identify Ross County’s benefactor, and the amounts are rather greater. Over the last 8 years, Ross County has had £9.6 million in loans from its parent company written off. That’s an average of £1.2 million a year. But how much longer can that also go on? (EDIT - I’ve just noticed that this is actually a match day thread.. not the battery farm one. Apologies, but I’m just following the flow!)
  4. Clach have parted ways with their Chairman and board. Oh how I envy them
  5. From what I'm aware we're waiting 6 months to hear on it. Richest club in League One, or the derby against Elgin will be on the cards for the 2026/27 season
  6. Would be handy if he focused on keeping the club away from deaths door as opposed to catering the Blue Poond freakazoids who never turn up unless Rainjurz are in town
  7. He has contacts at the lodge
  8. Fan got lifted for yelling to Scot Gardiner about how it is. Will definately try to claim its cos he was pished, but when its one of the regulars who doesn't tend to put a toe out of line against stewards, and the fact the chants about Gardiner from that section stopped after he got hoofed and the other stewards had a go at the rest of them, its not hard to put 2 and 2 together.
  9. This club is so unbelievably finished. And its all thanks to that muppet upstairs. Getting the police to silence the critics isnt a good look either...
  10. I repeat my statement. Gardiner and his wee rat need gone PRONTO
  11. Sitting in the car in the North Stand car park would be more appealing than watching this gash
  12. Not sure when they started doing it, but the ICTST has business cards at the West Stand kiosk. Get yerselves joined up
  13. As long as Butch shifts their arses into gear with a rousing pre match pep talk, I'm happy
  14. Don't tell that to the folks on Greig Street
  15. Dunc and the squad have done owt wrong. They're not the one who drove us into this pit of failed business ideas. Just hope we can get Dunc on side to somehow use his contacts to get our precarious position out there.
  16. Think there's more fear and alarm at the clownncils incompetence. We all saw the outburst when Cllr MacPherson called the big dogs out on their previous failures elsewhere, and we all saw that not many of them did their job with the "kids sledge there" argument. Just one of many, MANY, cockups that the Highland Clowncil have caused, and I can't imagine many will be best pleased with all the well documented drama that unravelled on the live stream. Money burnt on a daft river circle, the Academy Street fiasco, the Longman and Inshes Roundabouts, the potholes, Invergordon Academy, the Ironworks, the list keeps piling and thats just the start of it. Like the club, they need a shakedown from top to bottom, and weed out the muppets.
  17. Must be aye. Being sat with the Montroses and the Kelties who have notoriously small fanbases must do wonders for the city center pubs who've previously catered for the multiple hundreds following the Dundonians and the Particks. Call me a looney all you want, but the city needs a big name side, and Clach or a Caley side following in the footsteps of Queen of the South aren't filling those boots
  18. I wonder if these supergeniuses on the Clowncil board remember that, outside of tourism (i.e. Nessiehunters) we provide the most to the city in terms of income due to the amount of away fans coming north, even moreso in the Prem days. Killing us off doesn't just affect us, but the entire city will suffer. Not many fans coming north stop over in Inverness going to Dingwall, and you'd be lucky to pack out the Nip Inn for a Clach home game. We essentially cemented the city on the map back in 2000, relegation took a notch out of it, but going down again to the seaside leagues, and even going bust, is taking a hand grenade to it. The city has nothing going for it outside tourism and going against one of the larger income providers is essentially suicidal
  19. Sounds daft but can it be reappealed on grounds of incompetence and not having done their job? Just the grounds of that one balloon rejecting it cos "Kids like sledging there" would imply themselves (and quite possibly others) haven't *actually* taken it into account, as the area in question is by no means suitable for sledging, mainly due to the trees and shrubs, and more importantly A GREAT SODDING WAREHOUSE.
  20. Does the council have any plans to fill in for all the activities ICT provide that have just been clubbed to death? Can't imagine they do...
  21. Can't be approved unless it has a big circle, a diving board looking thingy and/or a seesaw pier. Thems the rules
  22. Have to remember these aren't the most competent chimps in the zoo. After all, they happily burnt stacks on an "art installation" and completely changed how the river looks...
  23. Can't wait to see the turnout in 5 years time when they discuss turning it into a housing estate
