That is a scoop

Little snippet from today's press conference with Alan Savage talking about coming out of administration ... testimonial to be organised for Aaron against Ross County. 

 

 

[Hearach]

Testimonial 5th July 3pm against Ross County. Hope there’s a good turnout. Aaron deserves our respect as well as our support.

Sadly won’t manage up for this. It’s my birthday and a significant one too… maybe just tell the family to carry on without me

[+Naelifts]

Damn. Would have made the effort for one of our great servants. Got a wedding in Yorkshire. Hope it goes well

Ticket information to follow shortly. For those who would like to support Aaron but can't make it you could consider buying a ticket for the game anyway?

... and there was me thinking we'd got rid of the clowns for good!

Aye.  I was thinking of saying "make sure you go to the right circus" - but I decided that we were past all that!

So, is this the first of the marquee signings?

[+L_G]

Just some additional information. This game will be a full pre season friendly for both teams. Aaron will obviously feature at some point in the game but both teams will be fielding strong teams.

We are hoping some ex players may be able to join us a bit later in the bar for a catch up.

There will be buses running, times will be confirmed but as you have noticed parking will be limited so this could be a good option for many of you.

More information re tickets etc to follow later in the week.

Any hospitality options?

Would quite fancy a programme too.

[+L_G]

Unfortunately we don't have time to get a programme designed and printed and due to ongoing work within the stadium there will be no hospitality for this game.

What we will have is a great day in Bar 94 where we will be raising money for Aaron. 

Aaron and some other players will join us post match where we will have testimonial shirts to raffle/auction as well as some other prizes. 

[ICT Supporters Trust]

Bar 94 will be open and the matchday bus service will be operating for Aaron Doran’s testimonial match against Ross County at 1400 on Saturday 5 July.

Bar 94 will open at 1130, with last orders at 1330 (the bar must be fully vacated by 1345).

The bar reopens at full time.

Buses will leave the Bus Station for the Stadium at 1145 and 1315.

Buses return from the Stadium to the Bus Station 10 minutes after the full time whistle and at 1700.

The fare is £2.70 single (contactless payments or cash accepted), and Over 60 / Disabled and Under 22 Concession passes are valid, giving free travel on the service to passholders.

Due to the circus being in the North Car Park that day, parking will be severely restricted at the stadium and in the surrounding area, so please use the matchday bus service if you are able to.

Unfortunate, but also positive to hear there's work being done. Thanks.

With tickets going on sale today, we contacted our members earlier about Aaron's testimonial, and a request for assistance the day before from Dale, our Head Groundsman.
