On top of all the incompetent, ignorant and disrespectful acts committed by the custodians of our club , they leave us hanging and anxious about the future of our club at a time we should be carefree and looking forward to Scotland at the euros. I’m trying to focus on Scotland but my mind is continually wandering back to whether I have a team to come back to. Thank you to the board, you’re ruining this for me as well.

Pretty sure a few of the directors will be off to Germany right now. If that's the case, the future of the club is decided,  or they don't care too much.

Gardiner has resigned and will be leaving the club.  He will need to find work elsewhere

And may god have mercy on the poor sods that bring him on board

Another dereliction of duty to add to the list.

Wee birdie tells me there was a meeting earlier and announcement imminent,  Administration avoided maybe?

Has your carrier pigeon got lost? Maybe lost its coordination when flying over a battery farm and started heading for Kelty? If it has a tracking chip it would be good to know if and when we can expect it home!

[ictchris]

I bet they release a statement confirming administration after the game has kicked off tonight.

Yep,  been a letdown,  lost direction I fear, last seen heading towards Dingwall.

Anybody actually been to the stadium recently? Are the lights still on, is there anybody at home? My goodness we don't even get updates about the club shop opening hours any longer.....

I believe staff were spoken to yesterday, briefly. Still chasing investors. Looks like a total reboot is on the cards.

Don't know about the stadium. But the grass has been cut at Fort George, so looks like they're gearing up for pre-season. Just need some players now.

Just received an email re Season Tickets. Can't imagine a major rush pending clarification what is happening!

[tm4tj]

Kelty topic has been resolved, can you post season ticket comments on season ticket topic please. (easy for you to say )

Other relevant comments can still go on here about ongoing issues, Gardiner, Morrison etc...

Cheers

Unless you know this for a fact, stupid pointless comment. There are too many snide comments like this being made on here without any substance behind them. Even if directors were going to Germany,  this would have to have been planned months ago before all this happened.

Rough count and I mean rough but nearly 1000 season tickets sold already generating nearly 200k into the club personally I've ordered 4 shirts today and renewed the season ticket. Now is the time to back the team if your able to

I'd be amazed if that figure is true already

Yes I know season ticket holders are holding off for now waiting for SG to depart the building.  If they give us his last date we could all go down an wish him well for the future

They won't. I contacted the SLO and was told that they can't comment in individual contracts. So pretty much the usual from the club. No answer, you'll find out (probably in the press) when it happens. 

Shame because even if for example there were assurances he would be gone before the end of the month I would probably just renew before I end up spending the money on something else.

Season ticket sales were steady but nowhere near that figure.  A lot holding fire on renewing until certain things have been sorted.

I really struggled between holding out till SG was gone or buying my season ticket so the club has cash flow to pay wages for the staff etc.

I decided it was more important to buy my season ticket and trust the directors when they say that SG is working his notice and will be gone at some point.  The sooner the better.

It's a gamble.  But after a few weeks of not knowing whether I had a club to support next season, I decided to take the leap of faith.  Let's hope I'm not let down by the club.

Calling BS on that response.

If they can't comment on individual contracts then they wouldn't have told us he had resigned.  They also wouldn't be able to tell us how long players/managers had signed for etc.

Just leaves the feeling that they don't want to tell us as he has a long notice period and isn't going anywhere soon.

Quick look on the stadium availability when purchasing a ST online and a quick count will show that its roughly 1000 and counting.  Enough of the doom and gloom and back ur team .

Seats for existing season ticket holders are reserved. They will not show as available. It does not mean tickets have yet been purchased for those seats.

That will be due to them holding seats for last years ST holders.

If it's only 1000 then the claim of 1500 ST holders last season seems to have been an exaggeration.

Ah I'm with you . You would like to think folk would now support the club and buy there tickets.  SG will have a month's notice for every year here's been in position so he's here until a minimum of August.

Then I'll be buying my tickets in August. Assuming my seats are still available. Again folk are all guessing because the club, shock horror refuses to give any information.

If his notice period was, say, 3 months - which someone here said would be short for a CEO - then 3 months from 30th May would be 30th August....

[bigterrybutcher]

So just I've got this straight..instead of supporting your team in its hour of need your gonna wait until August all because one man's working his notice ...
