Yes that's the point I'm asking. You make money from your stadium (which you fully own) being in a handy location so can make money from non-football functions. That can only be a good thing. Edit - and be the envy of a lot of clubs. Edited April 26, 2021 by TheScarf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I've a lot of time for Saint Johnstone. One of my late Grandpa's supported them and when I was younger he would take me to the odd game there. He used to tease me about ICT being in the lower leagues whilst his team lived it up in the top tier. I would tell him that ICT would win a cup one day and he said if that ever happened he would come and support Inverness with me. I said I would do likewise if Saint Johnstone ever got to a final. Sadly, he passed away in 2012 but when Saints made it to the 2014 Scottish Cup Final I kept my promise and went along to Celtic Park to support them and was delighted when they won. Quite fitting that ICT won it the following year (and Hibs the year after who my other Grandpa supported). I hope they go on to win the SC again this season. They are exactly the kind of club that ICT should aspire to be like. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you aren't in a Ross County type scenario where your chairman/owner writes off all club debt. You appear to be fairly self-sustaining? I believe we're completely self sufficient albeit it'll be a bit ruined by covid and no fans so will be in a financial hole like everyone else now. The owners have a successful business elsewhere though so while they don't put any additional investment into the club anymore they also don't take anything out either I don't believe in terms of salary etc either. In terms of money, it's widely known amongst fans without knowing exact figures we offer quite a low standard wage but topped up well with bonus etc. One other thing that makes it easier for us to keep players is the fact we're not based so far North so the West Coast players again under normal times travel together etc, care share and don't need fo commute miles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Based on that angle, I'm pretty sure Clark's header was sneaking in at the back post with or without the deflection! Just give him the goal! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marly Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Zander Clark, you're welcome to come to house and kick my head in.

Yep, less than an hour from both Glasgow and Edinburgh on a dual carriageway certainly helps. The amount of central belt players who are in floods of tears at the thought of coming up the A9 a handful of times a year is mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
