Evening Folks.

I have a meeting with Graham Rae next Wed to discuss marketing and commercial ideas that myself and a few others have came up with.  We know that things have to change but in order to do that we need more income through the turnstiles and through other routes.  

If you have any ideas that would like to be pitched please let me know and i will pass them on to Graham.

In the 23 years since formation I can't recall ever hearing someone call us Thistle or Jags.

Do you remember the late Bob MacKinnon, ex-Jags player turned football reporter? Back in the days when match reports were still dictated over the phone to copytakers, post-match in the press box, we frequently used to hear Bob refer to "Thistle" and "Jags" in his copy.

I NEVER refer to "Caley", nor indeed "Thistle", in any reports. It's always Caley Thistle or Inverness or occasionally ICT. Well, there was ONE exception when, prompted by poetic licence, I did on a certain notorious occasion wind up a full time report for Sportsound with the words: "Super County go ballistic, Caley are atrocious. Caley Thistle 1, Ross County 5."

I cannot / will not utter the c word. Though, to be fair, I do not refer to ICT as Thistle or Jags either. "Inverness" is the name I always use. I still find myself correcting people who call us "caley", reminding them that it took two clubs to form ICT!

In the 23 years since formation I can't recall ever hearing someone call us Thistle or Jags. Unfortunately it seems "caley" is the name of choice for most folk, and it still irks me to this day hearing us called that.

move on mun❤

I've seen myself physically move from my seat to another if I'm unfortunate to have purchased a seat next to or in the close proximity of a jaggie 

Think if we are all being honest here we all know that the fools from up the hill should never have been included and deep down the jaggies know this too not they will ever admit it of course

Put it like this imagine if Celtic were forced to merge with Partick just to get acceptance to a European SuperLeague there would be absolute outrage and rightly so as it isn't required

Football has been sadly ruined by money and business men who are not in it for the game but for the status and prestige

Inverness sadly is a prime example of this hence why the crowds are so poor, more supporter  buses leave Inverness to other football grounds around the country than any other town or city in Scotland FACT

Personslly I'm finding myself being drawn back to watching highland league football, juniors or amateur and even that is not that often these days

When you see clowns like that Neymar moving for the ridiculous sums of money involved you know the game as older fans knew it is sadly dead

Sad and Depression is setting in but maybe that's being middle aged
