At almost any ground man for man the away support makes more noise. I've seen us make more noise at Septic Park / Ibrokes than the home support. Rather than as per usual moaning about our home support lets give credit, at least for a couple of days, to those who made the trip in far greater numbers than the seething Ross-Shire mob bothered to.

What a spectacularly poor post. There is categorically no "uncomfortable truth" with our crowds. There were 6614 at the game, of which 3052 were Aberdeen fans. That means that 3562 people made the effort to be there and support their team, a fact that delights me. The club were so grateful for the support at dingwall that they released a statement thanking the fans who made the trip. The assertion that there are some people only go to games against county is frankly ridiculous. If it's not, please give me some evidence and I'll target these people as the ones we need to get along to TCS regularly and make the noise that you snipe about. It is difficult sometimes to create a vast amount of noise in such an open stadium but I don't think that it makes the people who turn up, pay their money and support the club and less than valued. What does make it difficult is the constant carping about how poor our support is from people who ought to know better. So do us a favour DD and give it a rest for a wee while eh? You've made your point.

They are a very very bitter group of fans for some reason. In the New Year game here last season they were giving all sorts of pathetic excuses why they weren't coming from there's no transport to I'm not giving them my money. Now they're having a go at us for taking a decent crowd to a derby game. I can only assume that they struggle to cope with dispite them having a moneybags chairman, great stadium, 'being a fantastic community club' , having more supporters etc etc (at least that's what they propagate) we still dominate them and have done so for years. It pleases me we upset them so much.

Have to admit that its a guilty pleasure of mine to go on OTB after a derby victory. Pure comic gold some of the delusional babble you get. And i have found it appears to be the same ones who are the most bitter. The likes of forfinn, Fleakeuy, brora boy and frankthetank are the worst, Calling us 'dump rats' or t i n k s haha. Some of the favourite repeated quotes is that we are cheats and hackers with have a vile set of players who have the referees conned.....truely hilarious at times. Then ofcourse there are the utter mutants on facebook and twitter who just take the biscuit. The 'county ultras' for example are propa nawghty.... I think the best line iv heard on facebook is that they are still better because their ground has 4 stands and not 3 lol. (The fact that we still have 1500 more seats with 3 doesnt come into it eh) Like Fraz says, its no surprise really they are so bitter towards us as we have continually been the better side/club/fans for all of 20 years now. We truely are the Big Team! Oh and on another note i see another one of their favourite quotes 'we still have noisier fans' has all but disapeared. They'll never admit it, but i reckon they have finally realised what utter tripe it is. For example we took i reckon 1800 on Thursday. The same fixture last year they had 750 and only 400 for a sunny october day when all transport links were unaffected. Thats 1150 over two games.........exactly! Not to mention how fliping loud we were on Thursday! It was just truly class, honestly the passion shown by our fans was first class and the players clearly appreciated the support, and likewise the county players were feart by it! Brittain got abused to shreds at one corner and then spent the rest of the game as far away from us as possible haha. It just goes to show what we are capable of atmosphere wise. Its ashame we cant get the same passion at home. I wonder if the close proximity of the stands to the pitch affects that? Anyway i have kinda went on a bit now. But as u can probably tell.......i had a right feckin good time on Thursday :)

Viccy Park used to be a good wee ground back in the day. When County won promotion to the SPL there was a load of hot air about what a fabby wee stadium it would be, but I was warning anybody that would listen that it would turn into a library once they got all those new seats. Was reminiscing with L_G about this on Thursday, remembering when both ends were terraces and bouncing! The away end does benefit from being so close to the pitch tho....

I think we all realise that DD! Let us have a bit of fun tho mocking our bitter rivals?

Little Britain's Vicky Pollard. Yeah but no but yeah they had more fans, but really not cos if we were playing away from home we would have had more but we wouldn't go to their ground and they only had more fans cos they are near the top and we are bottom but we are better cos if we had been as good as them we would have beaten ourselves by a lot more goals and anyway Aberdeen had more fans!

Ah Over The Bridge at it's best eh!

I actually disagree with him on the "Poor Belief" thing. IMO, the fans in this country have a great deal of belief in Scottish Football. Sadly, and it's rather criminal, the media do not portray or reflect that belief and, even worse still, the SFA & SPFL are selling us short....something that the media are also guilty of doing. If people in this country were so lacking in belief then why do more people in Scotland (per head of population) attend games than almost anywhere else on the planet?

You've made your point. Charming! I write a post praising the support on Thursday and saying it would be great if that kind of support could also be given to the team at routine home games - and I'm told to give it a rest!

A derby game during festive holiday will always attract a bigger crowd . Possibly the only game certain people attend in the year or possibly can attend due to them being abroad for the rest of the season ! I respect those attending on that basis far more than those that live in inverness and should support ICT but elect to travel to Glasgow every 2 nd week As time goes by and the team consistently remain in top six our fan base will grow we are after all a very young football club with lots going for us and we should remember and enjoy what we have

In among the bitter nonsense there can be the occasional uncomfortable truth which we can be reluctant to own up to. Whilst we did see a bit of an increase in the home attendance against Aberdeen it was still disappointing for a "winner goes 2nd" match against North rivals. It is also true that our fans were pretty quiet on that occasion. We get large numbers of noisy support OTB and it does seem to be the case there are some who reserve their support for ICT for games against County. If the some of the vocal support generated in Dingwall could be transferred to routine home games it would make a massive difference to the atmosphere which in turn would have a positive effect on the team and attendances. After a large and noisy turnout at Dingwall, are we going to revert to a sub 3,000 crowd on Sunday with just occasional bursts of support from time to time.?

Think most people will probably disagree with you ten4. He is a great player and deserves any big move he gets. I would say a move to a bigger club will certainly get him in about the national team, even if backup to robertson.

Yeah, It is a laugh reading some of their posts. They were even claiming marley should of got red carded after irvine was trying to rip his shirt of his back. Then again, maybe irvine wanted to put on the shirt of a decent team for a change haha

Little Brittain fans.

Comedy Gold that thread! I don't have an account but will admit that having a wee read is a guilty pleasure of mine! They are bitter rant they? Also if was the refs fault they lost yesterday apparently not the fact they were played off the pitch.....lol

Covers serve a dual purpose....they help hold heat in and keep the frost off. This compliments use of the USH system. It is expensive to run, but not as expensive as having a game postponed so cost isn't a factor on whether or not it is used. Fair point...if the club worked on the basis that fans were out to take advantage! Thankfully that's not the case and there was a good few folk who couldn't afford a ticket that were grateful of a chance to "earn" one by helping out the club. Also had some who took nothing and those who already had tickets who were using the extra ticket to bring friends/family. Being "restrictive" is one of the biggest criticisms levied at football clubs, surprised to see you suggest it should be applied in this (or any) instance. Don
