First time In 10 years I am not a season ticket holder. Might go to the game, but as it stands probably won't. Never felt so detached from ICT as I do now. 

Giving it a miss today. Watching shinty instead. The Arnie line of 'I'll be back' may not be the case for me. 

Wish the team well though. But can't abide by someone like Gardiner in charge rolling out the red carpet for his mates.

7th place.

It could be worse, Mrs Brown, we could be Hibs fans mourning a defeat to an amateur team from the tiny principality of Andorra. 

Daniel Mackay came on as a sub in that game

With ICT, he got to a Scottish Cup Final

With Hibs, he'll get one shot and getting some duty free lol

We have to be the slowest team in the league. Pass across the back four, back and fore back and fore then pass to the keeper. GO FORWARD! Take a man on, and show some urgency from the starting whistle. Not when we are 0-2 down! What a shame for Nicholson, i hope its not bad as i have high aspirations for him this season. 

If Nicholson is out for a while we'll maybe get an announcement from the club around Christmas time, if we're lucky!!

Gardiner take off your rose tinted spectacles re Dodds!!

Getting mixed messages here. Are you a fan of Billy Dodds or not? 

Sluggish first 60 minutes. Some awful defending and should have been 3-0 down at half time, but weren't as Cammy Mackay dealt with Delaney's gaff in first few minutes. 

Did well to get back to 2-2 which prevented me falling asleep.

Gash defending again for their third. 

Just not good enough. 20 odd minutes of good football out of 90 is just not good enough.

Hi,

Can the trust board please confirm how many season tickets have been sold this new season to date, what is the club’s expected target. If not currently available, what date will it be available. Also obtain from the club the season ticket numbers for the last 10 years.

Many thanks.

bc

Getting info from North Korea is easier than getting anything from ICT Board!!

Post must be faster down here

Can't you download your season ticket onto your phone? Seems very dated to carry a ticket/card about. Waste of money with postage etc also.

No he praised the PFA for helping him out never mentioned the club,the presenter and panel all talked about him being released also he said its another year recovery so something gone wrong with those two players during rehab I would have thought

Thing is we're left guessing about them. I appreciate confidentiality, but surely there should have been some update about them last season.  Even if it was only so we could wish them well on social media or something. 

They both may well have taken some heart from that from fans. 

Again, it's about ICT hierarchy looking uncaring about their people and fans.

Harry Lodovica

Played for Chelmsford City last season - 4 goals in 30 games

Signed for Aveley Town on June 7th, but unable to see why he's been sent straight out to another club.

From what I saw today, he's got a bit of pace and a physical presence, but seemed to lack confidence on the ball. The Chelmsford fans forum describes him as hit and miss and crap at headers...

Hopefully he comes good

4 goals in 30 games? 

Crap at headers. Jordan Whyte Mark 2!!

Apologies if I was disrespectful in any way to the player. I was typing quickly whilst at the match so if I failed to be politically correct it was an oversight. 

Chill man. I was joking.

Brooks was wearing 24 when presented to the fans. We have a large coloured player amongst the subs.

'Coloured'. Are you Alf Garnet?

Tom Walsh on Sportsound this afternoon to talk about his injury woes 

So we have to listen to Tom on the radio to get an update. 

Disrespectful that nothing has come as way of an update from the club from a player who has had two spells with us.

Elgin have played four matches already, losing to Forres, beating Rothes, then losing to both Huntly and Banks O’Dee so they’ve done poorly so far.

I know these games are about fitness and getting game time for players, and maybe seeing some trialists in action, but we ought to win comfortably.

 

And sent Draper hameward tae think again!!

Credit where credit is due, as someone who was becoming frustrated about the lack of ticketing information coming out regarding our early fixtures this season, this is a positive gesture from the club and will hopefully attract a good crowd.  Looks like the sun will be out too

Agreed. A positive at last.

I cannot believe that no one at the club wants to know what the core support of the club is feeling. Surely to gain the reaction of the fans, the club must look at social media and the fans forum? If not, they are coming across more and more how completely out of touch with the mood of the fans they are.

So the SLO is not doing his job it seems. Plus he is also on the board. What an unfit for purpose lot we have in the boardroom and senior management at ICT.

Whilst they sit in their boardroom and comfy seats looking down their noses at the rest of us around the ground (it ain't a stadium).  Or as the case may be, quite a few more of us not renewing season tickets and not even in the ground come the start of next season. 

Can't see any changes happening soon as they are happy with their lot. Poor, poor, poor!!

Any update on when the findings maybe published and what the intention is going to be with the information. I submitted my response like  others, many, many weeks ago.  

Patience my friend. Volunteers working hard on it. PWC were unavailable at the time.

A Highland League club can give its supporters more info than we can muster about our pre season games.

Hope Ross Tokely doesn't deck any of our players like he did in the friendly against the Western Isles. Think he thought he was at a boxing match!!

If everyone was to adopt this attitude, then what you would be 'supporting from afar' would be even less of a team than they are currently, with cash flow drying up completely and debt burden increasing. 

Is this the path you wish to see us on?

Just wondering like.

No. But we are so far down that path with those living in their ivory towers that I won't fund it anymore. 

Yes, no season ticket renewal for me. My current feeling is that I will support the team from afar and not attend any matches. 

The current Chairman, CEO, SLO, etc contempt for supporters and 'Let them eat cake' attitude is disgusting and not an establishment I want to have anything to do with.

I don't remember this much consternation when Kirk Broadfoot - who was given a 10 match ban whilst a Rotherham player for sectarian abuse of James McClean - signed for us.

 

Just saying, like.

Typical 'Boys Club' signing Broadfoot. He is Dodds brother in law.

I remember several seasons ago there was a meeting up in the function suite, with John Robertson and Chairman Rae where all supporters who wanted to attend could come and listen to what their plans were for the coming season, and supporters could ask any questions or topics that were concerning them. Maybe that's what's needed again, a reset between club and supporters?

They also did that at the start of the 16/17 season when Foran got to layout his plans. More attacking style football as he said. Funnily enough he didn't plan for relegation and our ever increasing spiral downwards and becoming County's feeder club!!

A few clubs have emailed expressing an interest, but are awaiting a reply from ICT.

Albeit , they've all received an email asking if they want to buy a season ticket or sponsor a player
