Ok I've stolen this thread or a similar one from Over the Bridge but it makes good reading and it would be interesting in my opinion to see where our core support resides

Quite surprised by the large number of County supporters that don't seem to have any ties to Ross-shire

1 Where were you born? My Answer Raigmore hospital Inverness

2.Where did you spend your childhood? My Answer Inverness

3 When did you start following football in Inverness? My Answer Late 70's/early eighties

4 What is you current location? My Answer Inverness although I did spend a number of years in Nottingham and the surrounding area

Could have made a poll like the County lot have done but think its better this way as it doesn't allow anonymous voting

3. Thistle from about 1979, 1980 - can't remember what the first game was, as I just used to squeeze through a hole in a fence from Broadstone Park  :blush:

4. Glasgow since 1991

 

Must have been some helluva sized hole (and fence!) to squeeze through from Broadstone Park! That bit of road's Broadstone Avenue....pedantic? Me?!

 

 

I'll see your pedantry and raise it.  :nanananana:  The fence in question was at the bottom of my neighbour's garden. Broadstone Avenue was only half the length of Broadstone Park; after that the back gardens in Broadstone Park ran right up to one side of the ground. My parents' garden actually represented the dead end at the end of Broadstone Avenue, but our garden fence backed onto the stand, so I had to squeeze through my mate's fence two doors up.

Childhood memories from Inverness until age 18

Started watching the Caley at Telford Street about the year 1952 -1954. Watched the stand burn down at Telford Street from my back bedroom window one afternoon wondering what on earth was going on.

Lived in England, Germany - R.A.F., London (1 year), back to Scotland then off to Canada where I have been for the past 39 years or so. Found out about the progress of Caley from Mantis and he is to blame for everything that has followed.
