Delighted that this thread is almost redundant. The season proper is just over three hours away and with a full pre season with no upheaval or disruption let's hope for a far far better start to the season than a year ago. Very best wishes to John Roberston, the coaches, the players and everyone working hard behind the scenes. Let's have such a successful season that we start the next one back in the Premiership.

Love the away top, I really think Black should be our away colour, however, I have given it time and I still cant get on board with this seasons home top. The red and Blue stripes should be our 'hing like Barca and Crystal Palace. Decent company to be with.

I asked at the club several years ago if they could supply me with some details, results, fixtures etc, of some old Higland League games. The quizzical look I got was as if I had asked for some secrets from the vault. After some months had passed I asked again, and again quizzical looks to which I was informed that they couldn't help me. With ICT taking both Caley and Thistles name, I thought that their respected histories would been held in high esteem, and the new club would have kept a detailed history of the old clubs records. I therfore had to spend months at the library going through old couriers and highland news to get the info I required, Aberdeen library was also very helpful but I had to pay for the information. I do believe that there should be a football museum at the club, detailing the history of Caley and Thistle, to show the future generations where ICTFC came from.

as Donald would say: You people are doing a fantastic job - well done! Off to golf now but I'll take my helichopter.

Unfortunately we would probably never have won anything with a team of Scots far less Highlanders. It is good to be able to sing "He's one of our own" to at least a couple of them. Only problem is that if they shine with us they are quickly swooped on by a large number of better financed predators. My problem has always been with the signing of evident mercenaries.
