A Diamond For Me Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 27 minutes ago, ICTChris said: The podcast is very good - lots of discussion, saying many of things that I'm sure all our fans have been. Some interesting snippets about it though - this was going to happen even if we'd stayed up and apparently even if the battery farm money (£3m+) had come through we were going to do it. It seems like no-one at the club knew it was coming, including the players and staff. Moff noted that several of the people he knows at the club found out about it from him. It's just absolutely appalling, a terrible way to treat people. That's utterly shambolic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 It's disgusting to treat fans and staff as they have done, all club credibility in tatters throughout the Scottish Footballing Community. You have to ask what kind of mentality possesses the man who came up with this. Superiority complex or an idiot, or both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine that many turned up for what was really a midweek friendly with no other teams taking part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is that, absolutely. No argument. But I've always thought County make a good effort with the community stuff and keep at it in a way that ICT don't seem to have done for some reason, and are good at encouraging young 'uns and families. That's not only about money, it's an attitude. It's this link with community that I think will ultimately shaft ICT if all this nonsense comes to pass. And the Highlands, whichever team folk support, will be much poorer if Caley go tits up. Edited May 27 by Lanky Highlander typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, nothings ever black and white, there's obviously been some poor management at ICT along the way. You know, I must seem very anti County but I also feel for the County fans who have followed their club from the HL days as they will still get tagged with the glory hunters label. I guess I'm still tainted from having to watch at very close quarters the sudden rise and inevitable crash of the Gr£tna village debacle. I genuinely hope your club manages to come out the other side intact. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB1994 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Has one single person actually come out and agreed with this decision? You normally seem to get a few that will always agree no matter how wild the decision is but I don’t think I’ve seen a single one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 It is notable that the local press are going hard against it - usually they just report on what's said at press conferences etc, they really need good relationships with the club etc. I know for a fact that the chairman and the CEO have not treated the media well in the past. To be fair, our club does not have a good recent history of relations with the media - really since Terry Butcher left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are the current best in Scotland for perma-raging seething statements. You'll never sing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
