It'll be interesting to see how the Gellions bus gets on in competition with the CJT bus, especially considering it's the same price.

[tm4tj]

Well done guys, the more the merrier.

[Gellionsictfc]

Cheers folks, hopefully all goes well and this will be a regular thing. 

As you say, the more fans we get to games the better :) 

See you at Dundee!

Why's someone who's wanting join the CJT board trying to run a rival bus?

Allies not rivals.

You have lost me? I have never expressed an interest in joining the CJT board?

and I agree, allies, nor rivals :)

Indeed I was.  I have no issue with with the Gellions (or anyone else) running their own bus.  Allies not rivals?  Really?!  The Gellions were happy to waltz in when the Stirling bus kerfuffle was going and attempted to advertised itself as being different and essentially better (singing is allowed!).  There's no doubt that one will take business away from the other and so forth.  Someone on the board of CJT while also actively organising a bus for the Gellions has a conflict of interest and as far as I'm concerned in a dereliction of duty.

Well I definitely see the Gellions bus as allies and not rivals.  They will be a differently run bus and in my eyes different is good.  Life is made up of all types of people and with just one bus going to the away games run by CJT they were trying to be all things to all people and it didn't work.  Now people have a choice CJT or the gellions.  Hopefully that will encourage the people who didn't like travelling on the CJT bus to go on the gellions bus.  Maybe eventually other pubs in Inverness will be able to run busses to away games too, the more the better.

I for one would be quite happy to travel on either of them.

 

[12th Man]

Goodness me.

Stop the Dows bus as it deters fans from using the social club.

Don't drink in the Innes bar as the stadium has a bar.

If I had enough interest, like this fan does and also had the assistance of a pub to promote it, I would be running a bus from Culloden to home matches but we can't do that as people may not use the clubs carpark, Lol.

It's progression and I wish them well.

Good to see The Dows Bar and The Gellions helping the cause.

Within the next 5-10 years there will probably be a Moray and Aviemore bus too.

Our local council now has a member who keeps the locals updated with info on social media sites, so when they start digging up a junction in Culloden you can easily find out why.

Maybe CJT could look to do the same and help project their aims for the season, once you have all the email addresses gathered then keep in touch and make it interesting.

Go and sell yourself ffs

The Cup final pop up shop

Pop up shop in the stadium.

The card display.

Do a quarterly email with a few articles in it. Like who is the mystery man who organised the Romania Busses. What orphanage received a welcome cash boost. This man also paid for a bus for the League Cup final and subsidised 2 more for the Scottish Cup final, use your strenghts get a q&a s one on one with a player.

I can see the immediate threat from competition for away travel, just move around it and play to your strenghts and don't hinder a fan with good intentions.

 

[Renegade]

It'll be interesting to see if any extra people start attending ICT away games as a result of the Gellions running the bus (and I'm skeptical there will be).  If it was a cheaper option then they might attract a few, but not for £20.  

Again, we'll see how long this 'allies not rivals' mantra lasts.  Could it not also reach the stage that our already small away support could disperse across both buses, thus meaning that neither bus reaches a quota allowing it to run?  Only a matter of time IMO.

[Alex MacLeod]

Fact is every pub in the city should be encouraged to get their locals involved in forming a pub fans club and running buses, be they full size or mini, to every game. Its nothing to do with rivalry but more to do with fans getting to games at reasonable cost. Communications between all the parties could also be set up whereby if one group is oversubscribed one week and another has seats available they can put each other in touch.

Dereliction of duty is a serious allegation and one completely without justification. Running buses to games, whether home or away, is not a competition but a service to fans. I don't hear CJT or anyone from them complaining.

We have a great, if sometimes exclusive, band of away fans some of whom travel by bus but most of whom don't. If the Gellions regularly running a full bus helps add to our away support that can only be a good thing.

[Scotty]

The more buses the merrier .. its an onerous task to organise and administer (been there, done that, and had all the hassle). The 'official' bus(es) will not suit everyone just like the 'independent' buses wont either ... room for both IMHO. 

[Renegade]

Again, I have no issue with the Gellions running a bus, Dows running a bus....or even the health food shop on Baron Taylor Street running a bus!  They're free to do that and we'll see if there's the demand across the support for it (which I'm not sure there is but we'll see).  We all know how hard CJT find it to fill a bus at times, so surely if you're on the board of CJT, your job should be to fill it's bus.  Attempting to run a bus for somewhere else would that would potentially harm the amount travelling on the CJT bus (and not to mention the missing out on revenue) so would undoubtedly be a conflict of interests.  If you're on the CJT board, you're attention should be with the CJT bus.  I don't think that's too much to ask.

You have to applaud the Gellions for starting such a venture. 

Inverness must be the only town/city till now that doesn't have a supported club running from a local boozer. 

Cant help thinking that caleyjagsforever must be silently seething not that they would admit it though

Gives the day to day punter a choice which is a good thing

Putting it simply if you want to bake cakes  and sing shania twain songs you go with caleyjagsforever but if you want the traditional football experience you go with the gellions

CJT Buses operate from the Social Club.....pretty sure that's a "local boozer".

Lost me again.

There is only 2 people involved in 'actively organising' these Gellions buses at the moment myself and Rory, and neither of us are on the board of CJT?

Anyway, hopefully see you all Saturday!

As pointed out earlier in the thread, I'm not referring to you.
