  1. Get this thread in the bin
  2. Given the binary nature of yesterday's vote surely two measured statements, addressing either scenario, should have been drafted in advance. To say nothing in the aftermath of such serious news just comes across as msssively unprofessional. Hopefully our CEO was otherwise engaged penning his long overdue letter of resignation.
  3. STFU - How about you respond to my post of 14th February wherein I laid out my position in very clear terms. Deafening silence from our self-appointed, pre-eminent knowledge on all things battery farm related.
  4. My mind is blown by the response to this news by alleged "fans" seemingly reveling at the imminent demise of the club. Interesting that one "fan" joined the forum about 5 minutes before he posted. Several others new to CTO in recent months who only ever seem to post about the battery farm, having absolutely nothing else to say in connection with the club - all very strange, agenda driven, behaviour. The loss of green space argument in an already massively over developed part of the city is the biggest load of bollox I've heard in my life.
  5. Usual 3hr drive to game, 90 joylesss minutes of football, fifty quid parking ticket, 3 hr drive home. See y'all same time next week for more of the same dross.
  6. ICTFC is NOT a community organisation, they undertake zero community activity and despite their claims in the most recent rant, they have almost zero fan engagement. They can't even organise a kids Christmas party. I said we were a "community supported organisation", as in which other organisation in Inverness generates the numbers through the door? Which other organisation has generated the level of publicity for the city and visitor spin offs? There were rather a lot of Hibs fans in town last week spending money in bars, restaurants, hotels, etc. Not sure any other organisation in the city can say the same. ICT Community Trust is a seperate, self funded, self staffed and independently operated organisation. It is they who do the community work the club are taking credit for. As per almost every other professional club in Scotland. It's done to facilitate funding which we wouldn't be able to access under the auspices of the club, as I'm sure you're well aware. To say it's wholly separate/unrelated entity from ICTFC entity is disingenuous in the extreme. Likewise with the ICT Women. Given how the club has operated the last few years, it clear that they have taken way more from the community than they have given, and until we know the figures we can't know how much, if anything, might find it's way to good causes. We're only taking the word of people who have shown time and again that their word is worthless. What exactly has the club taken? We were forced into a merger by the INE and have done nothing but raise the profile of the city ever since. It baffles me that people think that football clubs should be allowed to just hoover up and **** away money as they please. Any other business wouldn't last 2 minutes if they operated in this manner. Access road aside, how exactly have we hoovered up public money, please enlighten me. The council planning committee aren't doing much for their image, but given the circumstances I think it's right that this goes to full council. Full council should also be kicking the ass of the planning dept. As someone who has clearly fallen out of love with the club your views on this seem extremely jaundiced. To be crystal clear I'm no fan of the CEO or the general stewardship of the club in recent years but it's my club, I travel all over the country following the team and I would prefer that we don't end up part-time or out of business. I'd rather we didn't have to rely on a Battery Farm planning approval to keep us afloat but if that's what it takes then so be it. Reading your posts it would seem that your game plan is to stand over the corpse of the club telling us you told us it'll all end in tears. This seems a decidedly odd stance to adopt for someone who claims to be a fan of the club - different strokes for different folks, I guess. The shortcomings of the current custodians of the club are evident to all but the happiest of happy clappers. Personally I'll hold my nose and swallow the battery farm medicine until such time as a credible alternative materialises. My comments on the green belt subsist, to use this as grounds for rejection in Inverness, a city which has allowed rampant development on the green belt for the benefit of a small number of wealthy individuals and private companies, with almost zero community benefit, is frankly laughable. It should never have gone to a vote once they realised only 5 were eligible to do so and should have been redirected to full council at that stage. The meeting may have been quorate, but 5 people should never have been considered representative. If the Council can't get their act together to muster then that's their problem. Quorate is quorate, move on. It's as if the planning committee and club are having a competition to see who is the least competent. Not going to argue with you there.
  7. It's pretty clear where this is heading and how this will ultimately impact the club's viability moving forward. Another example of the council's complete indifference to the club which, despite our current paltry crowds, remains the largest community supported organisation in the city. You've got to laugh at the loss of green space argument which seems to be the crux of the matter. I left Inverness 30 odd years ago and in the intervening period the city has probably doubled in size with barely an improvement in community facilities and the loss of massive tracts of green space for housing, retail, etc. Yet this particular scheme has the planning committee's knickers in a twist like no other in living memory. I find this latest U-turn very strange, bordering on the highly dodgy. Councillor Oldham's "barely quorate" comment is bizarre. It either is or isn't, it's akin to suggesting someone's barely pregnant. Absolute ludicrous and clearly a man with an agenda. Alas, another entirely predictable omnishambles which drags the club's name and the city's credibility through the mud.
  8. Fecking abysmal again. Ferguson is not the answer.
  9. No surprise to see Jake Davidson going out on loan to Hamilton. Wouldn't mind one more in tonight.....in Big Dunc we trust.
  10. My money is on Sean McAllister Everton's Northern Irish U21/U23 attacking midfielder joining us today. Fairly prolific goal scorer for the toffees in EPL2 and Premier League International Cup.
  11. Cammy is out of contract in the Summer and if we want to maximise any development fee then we need to offer him a new contract. Hopefully the guy who forgot to order the seats for the new main stand at Tynecastle doesn't overlook this point.
  12. Daily Ranger is reporting that Davie Carson is poised to sign for Livingston. Would be very disappointed if this comes to fruition.
  13. I would suggest there would be a lot more public interest in our game than Morton vs Motherwell. Cheap/lazy option based on Friday night logistics.
