It definitely is complicated and I think Stenhousemuir and Clyde are in the vanguard in terms of CICs in Scotland. As CaleyD states, the AGM has made the issue of holding the governance of ICT to account through official channels more important, and that can only be done effectively by CJT. I don’t want to go off on a tangent but accountability only comes from the bottom up, and that in a word is from CJT. How to move it forward from theory into practice is another matter. Is Jan 2nd doable? It would make sense as a) most (not all, sadly) people are off and b) it follows/precedes a game. It certainly doesn’t have to be but it would be good to have a date to work to.

An open fans meeting is a good suggestion and I would be happy to attend/contribute (obviously as that’s the only reason to be posting). A viable way forward would be good, with CaleyD’s suggestion likely to be that. I hope others will show some enthusiasm for his initiative on this thread.

LG: I am sorry to say that this response is indicative of the rift that has been created by yourself and CJT. Not only do you fail to respond or refer directly to any of my, or any other member’s posts, that do ask questions of CJT, but the use of the pronoun ‘we’ is slightly redundant (given that CJT consists of less than Liz & Cliff you having reportedly resigned at the AGM). You can understand that few will ‘rest assured’ and take you at your word. I remain concerned that this Panglossian post is dismissive, scant on detail and is typical of the random platitudes, opaque assurances and wishy-washy actionables that has led to this mess in the first place. Let me be clear, as a fan with no connection whatsoever to any CJT member past nor present: when is the EGM?

Well put. It’s definitely about looking forward and that requires a) CJT to facilitate the handover b) those coming in to drive it forward I’m assuming that at the EGM (which needs to be announced this week coming) along with all members, new members will be able to attend & join, the committee will make way for people who have the time/ability and that enough people of that sort will attend and put themselves forward.

Good to know: so, up to and not beyond the 19th there will be an announcement of when the EGM will be, to take place between 25th Dec - 3rd January? And what is the likelihood exactly of people in CJT actually complying with this timeframe and what happens if not?

I think that is the crux of the matter - it is pretty much defunct: The AGM has no committee (to speak of); no website or social media; no agency (in abeyance) and so (CJT) is basically a shell. Very happy to hear otherwise. Unless the EGM is announced very soon (that too would require someone to do something) then sadly I think that 10% will disappear as soon as the club require (CJT) to vote. Regardless of who is/isn’t associated with (CJT) I think it needs those outwith (CJT) to take action not the other way round. Again, very happy to be corrected by someone from (CJT ) ( )= abstract noun

As above: ‘if CJT does indeed begin to rebuild itself from the foundations up’ - is there any moves towards the EGM? I want to join CJT and help stop this 10% being lost.

Yes, there is a serious lack of transparency here - regardless of the buts, ifs, and howevers. No info on CJT website about AGM or anything (defunct) no info on Facebook and no info here. Supporters of Caley Thistle know more about the ICTFC board than CJTs. How has this been allowed to happen? Can someone from CJT comment?
