With us playing Hibs at home on the same day, could Dingwall's dwindling attendances drop below 4 figures?

The actual score that became a part of many a comedy sketch and caused the saturday night beeb results person a stutter was in Div 2 63/64 season where the score was Forfar 5 East Fife 4

That's a hell of a trek for Golspie if they get through.

Indeed, but Wick's trip to Kirkcudbright a couple of years ago surely can't be beaten as the longest journey in Scottish football.

That's a hell of a trek for Golspie if they get through.

They have to travel to Girvan for the reply first which is only about 25 minutes from Stranraer. Why do County get such dross in the early rounds of the cup? I suppose coming in at this round makes it more likely. :tongueincheek:

Just bought the away kit (and assuming the home one will be sized the same), I'd recommend treating it like you would Erreà, by going a size, maybe two, up. And, like the Erreà kits, the sponsor is actually part of the fabric, so you won't need to worry about anything getting sticky and ruined by the wash
That said, the new shop looks really nice and theres a load of room to move around now, rather than having to squeeze past each other. Only downside is there's only one fitting room, so you could be waiting a while if you are also indecisive on whether to go one size up or two.

I agree and understand the consolidation point. I know most supporters don’t give a toss, however I will add we also need a succession plan in place ie 3 and 5 year framework. If we are to limit or mitigate catastrophic cliff edges (of past yore), then this subject should be on the Boards agenda. If they act like the past and think that’s for the next Owner and CEO, then we’ve learned ZIP.
On field activities and success or failure run hand in hand with the off field ones. AS has and is doing his bit (within the limits of the budget (+ emergency pot)) he has set himself. A two or three year run in the CHPS would better the club’s position for better outside investment.
Avoiding relegation this season must be the priority. Anything else could put us back more than I care to consider.
Just putting it out there as I feel it’s relevant.

For me, this season is about staying in the Championship, so I see anything better than 8th as a bonus.
We’ve a tough start, playing the three teams that made the play offs last season, and could easily find ourselves at the wrong end of the table.
It’s hard to know what teams will be strong, but if we can finish above two of Morton, Queens Park and Stenhousemuir, we will have maintained our place in the Championship.
Let’s all go into the season with realistic expectations and knowing that it’s going to be hard.

finishing anywhere above 9th will do for me. Would prefer it to be comfortably above 9th, but consolidation this season is the key.

Last season the fantastic start to the season set up the promotion. As the new boys in the division I'd say the other teams will look at ICT thinking there are points to be gained there. It's even more vital then to get a good start to nip that attitude in the bud. Promoted teams that get a poor start don't tend to have a good season overall.
It's really hard to judge what would be expected - look at Arbroath last season in their first season compared to RC who came into the championship from the other direction. Both probably had different expectations than what transpired.
If things go well we could be in the top half, perhaps even close to the playoffs. In reality I'd expect a mid table finish, but mid table for 10 teams can get you close to both top and bottom at various points. I'd say 5-7 would be what I'd expect come May. To me I think we need to look firstly at establishing a gap above two other teams (Morton & Stenny?) and then building from there.
The first three games are pretty tough ones before we visit Stenny, so I hope we have 4 or 5 points on the board by then. Set the tone early for a decent, but not spectacular, season.
