Just a thought!! A new era needs a new mascot.

With Terry coming up with the "We can be Heroes" slogan, soundbite, to encourage all!

Wouldn't it be fitting to have a new mascot, can I propose a "Dolphin" called Snecky.. instead of that mingy moggie Icat.

Ahhh, hemm....

So we can swim, like dolphins can swim right back off the bottom of the SPL.

When were you last at a match Kiltarlity? Caley Cat is long gone having been replaced by a stupid green monster that no-one pays any attention to.

At least there is an attempt to be highlanders with music just at before kick-off

Ah, that will be why I hadn't noticed

"no-one pays any attention"

Aside from this, I was been a touch cynical in this thread about Butcher plagurising David Bowie.

Lets just hope he's not a Stranglers fan too!!! Cos if things go wrong, will the soundbite be "No More, Heroes Anymore"

It doesn't really matter who or what the Mascot is if it's not properly utilised. Having someone in a suit wandering around inside the pitch wall and occasionally wandering over to pat a few kids on the head isn't entertaining....no matter what age you are.

On match days the Mascot should be in among the fans and interacting, not just before kick-off, but throughout the game. He should be handing out t-shirts/hats/gifts/balloons of some form....even some noise-makers of some kind and geeing up the support. A couple of hundred pound spent on lifting the crowd and atmosphere is, IMO, money well spent....and if the club were to go about it in the right way then I'm sure they could get local businesses to cover/share the cost in return for them having their name on said items.

Outwith match days the Mascot should be available to go visit schools, attend children's Birthday Parties and f?tes etc to help increase the club profile among the younger population of Inverness. Have them up the High Street during school holidays handing out a few free tickets to kids for our next match. You could even back up the presence of the Mascot with a stall selling ICT Merchandise...but lets make sure we've got stuff on there that appeals to passing trade and tourists etc.
