STFU

I notice that my shareholding question was swerved. Are you able to provide a list of who the largest shareholders are and where the supporters trust sit in that list? Can you explain why club board members (and groups) with lower (some have none) shareholdings have a voice, but the supporters trust does not? Thank you.

We thought about it, but it equated to about £33 for a curry and a pint and most of our group weren't willing to pay that.

Could the camera operator be any more zoomed out?

Have said it already this season, but if we're serious about challenging for the league then we need to be the team dictating the play and not allowing the opposition to dictate. Especially at home. Hoping Belladrum was the reason we had a poor sub 2000 crowd for our first league match of the season.

We'll all know in time .

The concert company had the clubs name on it, was backed by club directors and fronted by the club CEO. It used club resources for the planning, marketing and promotion of the concerts, sold tickets via the clubs ticketing system and had our commercial & sporting directors running around the city selling tickets and hospitality in the clubs name. Nothing in any of the promotion gave mention that the football club was a separate, sole beneficiary. It wouldn't have been seen as a requirement because everything was done to create the perception that people were dealing with the club. The only organisation ever mentioned as separate beneficiaries on posters etc were the Highland Hospice as the charity partner. You can't set up an external company to run up debts by taking on the burden of costs while another benefits from the income. If the decision is taken to liquidate the concert company without settling debts then the club are so intrinsically linked that they could rightly be pursued for it, IMO.

I'll take that wager.

New companies also have to publish accounts, so losses will show there.

Any mention of where we'll be playing home fixtures this season?

BBC Stats often don't reflect the game and these look like they are a little generous to us. We didn't really take control of the game for any length of time. Our goal was the best piece of play and well worked, but other than that we showed a lot of naivety and allowed Cove to draw us into their game which resulted in is committing needless fouls. We need to be smarter and have confidence that we can execute our own game plan and not be so reactionary in our approach to games. Still, we progress, bring on the next game.

It seemed to be fairly common knowledge among people at the match today. The next set of published accounts will verify it if nothing comes out from the club before then.

Why does it matter where the info came from?

What's that got to do with the abject failure of the concerts? We were told they would bring in what they've just lost. Heads should roll.

Losing nigh on £1,000,000 in a single weekend

Bring back Emma W.

Wasn't aware that I knew you, putting you in a position to make such a judgement

Utter BS from the club. The trust have a larger shareholding than most of the board, where does their mandate come from? What's the shareholding of the Wyness Shuffle Podcast, Section 94 or Travel Club? The trust aren't without their issues and have been toothless since the days of David Sutherland and Donald Johnstone who would stand up to this kind of bully boy bollocks. Where are these guys now? Sounds to me like the CEO is just looking for a compliant group to raise funds to cover the ever growing salary costs of jobs for the boys. Also appears as if that's what the trust are looking to offer up. Roofing the west stand for a couple of dozen fans whilst our disabled followers get a half hidden view behind a wall and next to no protection from the elements? Pathetic that they would suggest it, even worse if the trust back it.

Did enough for the win...just. Hopefully not a season of scraping by and hanging on. Wins are great, but fans deserve/need to be entertained. Controversial view, but I'd take an entertaining season over a promotion one. Fingers crossed for both

Lot of fragility in the squad. Everything crossed that we don't get any (more) early injuries and do get a flying start

Does this suggest that Charlie Christie doesn't think Dodds is the kind of manager who will give young players a chance?

I hear you and I know we always get told this, but the evidence doesn't seem to support it. I cite Hearts, Dundee Utd and, dare I say it, Rangers! as examples which immediately spring to mind. Clubs who, in recent years, have been forced to use squads full of younger players and have done pretty well in doing so. Sadly 2 of those clubs resorted to old habits when finances improved and I suspect Utd will do likewise as well. Do they/we all think they were lucky with the younger players and fear slipping if they continue on that road? Where are all the reports of ruined careers?

A signing like this excites me. At the start of their career and every chance they are keen, looking to prove themselves and not just chasing a final wage. Same reason we should be bringing more of our own youngsters through sooner. Who knows, maybe if we show willing to give a chance at first team football a bit sooner, then they may sign their contracts and not disappear out the door for virtually nothing when they turn 16

Not a lot. I thought that was pretty clear from my post. Action, not words. Given how good he is at kicking things down the road, perhaps he should be pulling his boots on and contributing on the pitch. Reading between the lines, it sounds like we're not going to make the £500,000 per concert he claimed we missed out on during Covid and that we'll be doing well to make any money. That's worrying if we've put together a business plan which depends on that income. Apologies if the reality of the situation is a miserable one.

I really like that and suspect it could outsell the gawd awful home shirt.
