The Caley Thistle Supporters’ Trust have called on fans to once again turn out in their numbers for “the biggest game in the club’s history” this weekend.
Inverness host Montrose in the second leg of their play-off semi final, after the first game at Links Park ended in a 0-0 draw on Tuesday evening.
Defeat would see the Caley Jags drop into League One for the first time in 25 years, since they were promoted as runners up to Livingston in the 1998-99 campaign.
Victory, though, would keep their chances of remaining in the Championship alive.
With the financial future of the club in some doubt, it promises to be a mammoth contest at the Caledonian Stadium this weekend, and the Supporters’ Trust has called on as many people to turn out and support the club to help them over the line.
“Saturday’s playoff second leg against Montrose is now undoubtedly the biggest game in our club’s history,” spokesman George Moodie said.
“The Supporter’s Trust is calling on all fans to get behind the team, turn out in number and give the club the best possible chance of advancing to the next stage of the playoffs.
“The attendance at our last league game of the campaign was one of the biggest of the season, creating some much-needed atmosphere and showing that this football club means so much to so many.
“The football club has intimated that restructuring will be required in the summer. It is imperative that supporters are consulted on such changes in order that we can all move forward as one.
“Therefore, we urge supporters to join the Supporters Trust and help build the Stronger Together Fund, which aims to bridge the gap between the club and its supporters.
“Any income generated by the Stronger Together Fund will be used to purchase shares in the club, with a view to gaining a seat on the board.
“We believe that supporter’s issues can be raised at board level, ensuring fans are properly represented and have a say in the running of their club, creating a sustainable football club with supporters at its heart. As ICTFC supporters we deserve more.”
