Inverness Courier saying that Ross Draper and Jordan Roberts could be back after the international break - what a bonus that would be!

Gives me an excuse to share this one. The taker's actually a mate so I'll get unfollowed if he ever sees this

If Brora are going to win the title again this year, they just might want to improve on their penalty taking. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34765355

Is this one of those petty battle of wills that businessmen often engage in, whereby they refuse to be the one who initiates contact for fear of appearing lower status than / beholden to - the other party? Sounds like both sides are playing hardball and waiting for the other to pick up the phone. Very poor craic! Everyone should sit down with a bottle of single malt and get this deal done ASAP.

Totally agree if we cant get folk in basically free I dont think prices are the problem here. In reply to Deanos point above when the players visit schools free adult tickets as well as childrens tickets are offered. Good old pester power must work sometimes? However I have spoken to a player on that subject and they find it frustrating that the kids they meet are very keen to come but the adults wont bring them! Surely you can't be saying £12 for the coldest and wettest part of the stadium to take a kid to the game is a decent price. That's pretty poor. I've got 3 girls and sadly neither are interested in football after me trying a good few times to encourage it but I wouldn't ever take them to the dreaded uncovered sections which would have definitely turned them away. Football for the occasional fan is expensive but it's not the only reason why people aren't turning up. People's work commitments at the weekends take priority and as I work 7 out of 8 Saturday's I rarely get to games now unless I request a date off especially.

Our attendance is what it is and no amount of debate is going to change that. Perth is a city of similar size and population to Inverness but has a football team thats been around since 1885. They have had limited success's over the years, including the Scottish Cup the year before us yet still only have a similar home fanbase as we do. Perth sends quite a few buses to OF matches just as Inverness do. Perth actually sent quite a few of their supporters to our SC final to boost our support and ensure their european place. St Johnstone haven't managed to oust OF fans and increase their fanbase in 130 years. What chance do we have?
