In all fairness both of them regularly play away games with early kick offs for TV and their fans travel in large numbers

Unless we are getting some new signings on Monday!!

Anyone who's looking for a reason not to go has one in the fact that it's on terrestrial TV. By offering this option the club have a chance that at least some of them will come along and watch it at the stadium with other fans and spend a bit in the bar instead of heading in to town and spending money there or in the supermarket for their carryout. Providing a service for fans and also trying to recover at least some of the lost gate revenue from those not travelling would seem like a sensible move on all fronts, IMO.

this is the wrong way round!!!! the club should be doing what it can to facilitate people to attend the match, i.e argue for a sensible KO time, keep the ticket cost down to allow us to pay for travel, etc. i appreicate that the club arent going to make much out of this venture, but it appears to be arse for tit imo

He was outstanding for us. IMO if he hadn't got injured he'd still be our keeper AND we'd be higher up the league.

If you want to kill Sky TV's domination of the game, don't attend, especially for games in the final stages of competitions held at ridiculous times. Remember the league cup final? Sky panicked about their being no ICT supporters being there so they subsidised the travel via the Sun (Clue) Newspaper. All it would take is a boycott of a final (and make it public) and things would change, I just don't mean by ICT supporters. If you play their game they win but it takes a combined mindset amongst supporters to destroy it. Stop being a slave to Murdoch and his like. It's a small price to pay to kill this money driven monster. Jock Stein said " the game is nothing without the supporters" and he was right. Realise the power is with all the supporters in the league and they can change it if they would only think and organise. Sky rely on the fact that we wont. Sky is killing the game as regards attendances and the money going to players which is destroying clubs including our own. Scottish football will become part time with the exception of a few clubs if this continues.

While not overly happy with the kick off time, this is dictated by the TV companies. I think the kick off time will hit the crowd size for both clubs and to be honest, the Old Firm do not get as big a crowd as they used to until they reach the semis and even then not always. If we were drawn at home, would we be complaining at a 1215 kick off despite any inconvenience for Celtic fans. If the club could subsidise the cost of travel then this would be helpful but having the opportunity to watch the game at the stadium with fellow fans is the next best thing for fans who cannot attend.

They regularly play up here with early kick offs for TV and at county for us it's only once in a while.

I doubt that the club had much, if any influence on the kick off time so offering Inverness fans the opportunity to watch in the company of fellow fans with refreshments for such a modest price is a good and sensible initiative. Well done. Hope there is a good turn out at the stadium and remember none of the proceeds have to be split with anyone whereas the club will get only about 40% of the match proceeds once expenses are deducted.

CJT running a bus for folk wanting to go but with it being such an early ko I think offering fans an alternative not a bad thing?

For those who aren't willing/able to get down to Glasgow for the earlier kick-off......watch it from the comfort of the stadium for just £7, includes Pie & a Pint. http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/1869-celtic-v-ictfc-scottish-cup-live-at-tcs

I can't see evidence that this was Inverness or Elgin fans fighting?

Cole and Doran were our two main sources of creativity. They have to start against Partick.

Heres hoping we get Rangers away after the Celtic match to double up the revenue.

I suppose that may depend on how vital the home point ultimately turns out to be to the effort to avoid relegation.
