STFU

Agree with what you say about the club's lack of self promotion, but I'm pretty sure all these pensioners flooding in off the cruise ships don't give a toss about ICTFC.

Are we?

Yup, I recall Charlie Christie talking about how Pele had lumped on it at about those odds. Unusual for a man who didn't normally gamble 🙄

It might be easier for the council (and others) to get behind the club if they were doing more themselves? There's been nothing other than requests to buy tickets and merchandise on social media. Where's the hype? In 2015 the players were out and about in the city visiting businesses, schools and community groups. There was fresh content in the papers every day. Everywhere you went there was something ICTFC related. The club have to be the catalyst for these things and not just sit back and expect everyone else to do it. The relationship with the fans and the supports trust won't be helping, and we're not seeing much support from corporates either despite that apparently being a big focus! Wonder why that is? Sorry to say it, but the club are reaping exactly what they have sown over the last few seasons and have nobody to point the finger at other than themselves.

Agreed, they're more likely to have a leaning towards a big English or European club.

You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours 😉

As much as I love that you thinking I'm CaleyD winds you up, I don't see why he should get all the credit! Aside from that, not sure he could jog on, even if he wanted to 🤷‍♂️ I thought 'Club's Pet Podcaster' was way nicer that 'Gardiner's Gimp', should I run a poll?

There will be plenty of Celtic fans on the system from buying tickets in the home end over the years, so I can't see it making any difference, but the club need to be seen to try. I did contemplate buying my allowed 8 and selling them to Celtic fans to fund my trip down, but it would only be ICTFC fans who miss out/suffer, so decided against it.

Have you not read what @Robert said above? This is not a designated bus, this is an enhancement to service...and even though the club claim to have worked closely with them on it, they can't be attributed to any aspects that may attract criticism 🤷‍♂️

Clear as mud. Our CEO intimates in his statement that we approached several companies, not that any of them approached us. Also there is no Inverness to Hampden service on any timetable to be "enhanced", so this is 100% a football special. My question on who is subsidising the concessions remains....state, or other service users? Another interesting thing I discovered was that CityLink do not own any buses, they own rights to routes and then franchise out the operation of them. If the Inverness to Hampden is a new route...needed to qualify for state funded concessions...then what was the tender process? Not sure what them having an advertising board at the club has to do with anything as they seem to have one at every ground. Quite a sensible place to advertise given the amount of travel football fans do as opposed to any form of special support/philanthropy towards us 🤷‍♂️ Are you sure tired and not just dizzy from all the spinning you're doing?

To be clear, I have no objection to the transport concession system in this country, but those systems are intended for public transport and not exploitation by football clubs to try and win favour with fans. If they are not state funded concessions, then those paying full price are subsidising them. If they are state funded concessions then, IMO, that is worse and taxes are subsidising football travel. Also, as the link us public, then what's to say that half the people on them won't be Celtic Fans? I'm not looking for special treatment, just a fair and level playing field where fans are not being ripped off to fill holes in club spending that are a result of jobs for the boys, badly thought out projects and utter incompetence. If ourselves and Falkirk could charge half the price and do well from a partially full Hampden in 2015, then the only argument for the prices this year is greed.... pure and simple.

IN FAIRNESS if they hadn't ****** around with the kick off time, then it would have been far less of an issue. ....and bloody bravo for concessions who are being subsidised by the rest of us. Sorry for ranting at you, but our club...and the game....are going to **** and the apologists are doing sod all but enabling them.

That's me priced out of attending... Scottish Cup Final Ticket Prices South Stand – Adults: £45, Concession (Over 65s/U16s): £25, Accessible: £20, Accessible Concession: £12 West Stand: Adult: £35, Concession (Over 65s/U16s): £20, Accessible: £15, Accessible Concession: £12

That would half our crowds!

£62 return 😲

There's always hope, until there's not 🙂

I'm sure the club will communicate and clear it all up soon 🙂

Paul Chalk at the P&J is normally pretty good and not one for printing sensationalist BS. With the CEO having said player contract talks will start after the league was decided, then there's the added awkwardness of needing players for the final, but perhaps telling them they won't be offered new contracts. Also, if no decision has been made on/by the manager on staying, then we could be in a situation where the man building the squad for next season won't be here. I'm sure they'll all make sure they fet their free holiday in the sun, though. Just as well we're flush with cash 🤦 Regardless of which way you look at it, it's 'tin-pot'.

Was in P&J the other day that contracts expire end of May and players will need to sign extensions. Not sure how that will work with loans.

Was it not in the club statement that they would have ticket info the next day? Using the AGM as a measuring stick, I'd say we'll get details around mid-July!

2 of them 👍

You're clutching at straws now 😂

Robbo 2017/18 and 2018/19.... following 2 seasons were cut short, so can't be included. Dodds also got more points last season, so technically he has us going backwards 🤷‍♂️

Not sure where it can be looked up, but he also has a GK/Coaching qualification that only a handful of people in the UK have.
