  1. Are we the only club who does this?
  2. It didn't need fixing as I was deliberately avoiding the 'we can't afford to replace them' or 'well who else is going to do it' merry-go-round which gets in the way of anything happening. Doing nothing means nothing changes.
  3. One question for those trying to defend or excuse those who've overseen the running of the club the last few years. Regardless of where it started and who's to blame, do you trust or think that Morrison and Gardiner are capable of digging the club out of the mess it is in right now?
  4. I think it's more important that the team turn up than the fans.
  5. We've managed promotion to the top flight twice before without battery farms and the like. Since 2017 we have amassed losses in the region of £3 million (not including what is being hidden on the 2022/23 accounts yet to be filed and whatever it is for 2023/24 - it could easily be topping £5 Million in total to date) chasing that for a third time. If that level of spending can't even keep us comfortably in the Championship then I would constructively suggest that the first thing we need to do is change the leadership.
  6. So those who kept the club operating on a fairly firm financial footing and delivered the club's greatest successes are the villains? Those who thought they could do better and squeezed their predecessors out before delivering the biggest losses the club has ever seen with no plan or means to underwrite the various high risk schemes and who have threatened the very existence of the club are to be pitied for it? The current regime have talked a lot about how vital it is for us to be playing in the top flight in order to balance the books but have put more focus on chasing various failed off field ventures. They even managed to totally screw up the concerts which had previously been a huge success for the club. By trying to chase it all they have failed on every front and brought the club to it's lowest point ever. We are a mess on the park, financially and are more detached from the fanbase than ever.
  7. Getting the excuses in early about the plastic pitch.
  8. I don't think they ever have but that's a club rule and not an SPFL rule on this occasion
  9. It would seem that the club are talking bollocks then. Maybe confused by the rules from our participation in previous play offs at the other end of the table and thought as I did.
  10. Like cup competitions the ticket income is pulled into a pot and split (I don't recall how the split is done). Any club offering free entry for season ticket holders will have to pay an amount equal to what they would have taken from sales into the pot.
  11. Links Park is a football stadium in Montrose, Scotland. It has been the home ground of Montrose F.C. since 1887. Links Park was opened in 1887 on land rented from the 'Auld Kirk'. To help finance the new ground, Montrose F.C. rented the pitch out for circuses and livestock grazing. ------------------- We've tried everything else at our place maybe this is worth a go?
  12. Yup 4G
  13. Priced out of attending every other week and took advantage of the £5 ticket offer?
  14. It will be interesting to see how many Season Ticket holders will shell out for tickets for the play offs.
  15. They bought £250k of shares in 2012 but were pretty much dormant until 2015 when they then started making moves to take control of the club once it was apparent that something special was afoot that season. The remainder of their 'investments' came in the form of covering the substantial losses they oversaw between 2017 and 2019. So I stand by my view that their appearance/involvement marked the beginning of our decline.
  16. This!
  17. This season? It went wrong when we started with Dodds in charge and never looked like improving much when we chose to chase the headlines with his 'big name' replacement. Before that the clubs decline on and off the park seems to coincide with Muirfield Mills appearing on the scene.
  18. Plans for a battery storage facility at Essich. Blows a bit of a hole in the argument that Fairways was the only site available locally where they could get access to the grid.
  19. It was out of our hands at the time of the interview. Results on the Saturday went in our favour putting it back in our hands again.
  20. I'm not so sure it's just to do with having a squad full of local born players or not. The guys from that cup winning squad were mostly committed to the club/area and many of the non indigenous players still live locally so there's an obvious affinity. Two of them are at the club now. Fans also felt far more connected as they had greater opportunity to meet and spend time with them.
  21. Harper has a few offers for next season and none of them is from us. I'd imagine Ridgers may have options also but he's at a different stage of his career and seems settled in the area. Fingers crossed. If we do go down I'd love to see us go the route of using our younger guys and giving them the opportunity to grow and develop as a squad. Not all will make it and some will move on but it's our best chance at putting together the nucleus of a squad that might stay together for a few seasons.
  22. The 'help the club continue in its current form' is the most worrying part of that letter.
  23. Then why delay the release?
  24. ICTFC employing an ex-chairman that was removed from his position by their supporters trust. Top trolling.
