It’s May 30th…

If I’ve got Celtic fans near me, especially if they set off these colourful but choking flares, and loudly cheering their team whilst around us ICT fans, then I’ll be shouting for the stewards. I’ll also be doing my utmost to show these fans they are in the wrong area and should get to ..... Celtic fans have no place in the designated ICT section.

The latest episode of The Wyness Shuffle has a load of chat, interviews and other stuff as the guys look ahead to the game on Saturday. How do you like the sound of: Looking back at previous wins over Celtic with interviews with Stuart Golabek, Dennis Wyness, Ross Tokely and James Vincent? Captain Sean Welsh updating us on how preparations for the big day are coming along? A chat with Natasha Meikle from the Celtic State of Mind podcast? All you need to know about the Highland Fling on the Ferry? The reveal of another Cup Final song?

The Supporters Trust were obviously aware of the 'event' and on hand to present trophies. I'd have thought (hoped?) they might have had some objection, or were they happily bought off with an invite to this exclusive get together?

Me neither, just not sure on other secret societies other than the magic circle and the tufty club. Given our board performance there's **** all magical and they lack direction so not sure if they'd apply

OF fans sat with so many people in the North Stand when the ugly sisters came to town. Don't remember any stand out issues. If we aren't going to sell the tickets give them to Celtic if we get more money out of them I'm not bothered as we won't be making money Celtic anytime soon in the Championship.

As a Season Ticket holder from the inception of ICT, and a Caley fan since primary school days before that, this isn’t the way to encourage fans. I would have loved to applaud our players at the Awards. I’m so sad and disappointed. This isn’t the way forward ICT. Please have a major rethink for next season.

It's just what I expect from ICT now. The people who voted for the awards, in most case the supporters, don't get to attend and show our appreciation. It's almost like a secret society, and the supporters are not allowed into the inner sanctum!

Are you suggesting funny handshakes maybe are part of the nepotism we have become accustomed........

What a bunch of soppy wet blankets all fussing over who sits next to them. Did you all speak up when we were in the Premiership and every celtic or rangers visit the home ends were packed.......because guess what all the extra caley fans those days weren't really there for the caley.

In its ticketing information, the Club is rightly highlighting the following text. IMPORTANT – These tickets are strictly for ICTFC fans and anyone attempting to sell any tickets to outside parties will have ALL of the tickets they bought cancelled and rendered unusable on the day. Similarly, any non-ICTFC fans found in the Caley Thistle section of the Stadium will be removed by stewards immediately. I think it is important that we all support each other in ensuring that any Celtic fans in our section are identified to the stewards and that the stewards promptly do what they have been instructed to do.

Steve (Yompa) in white Rob (Joonya) in blue.

Steve down at Caley Park this afternoon getting a few photos inside the stadium before he kicks off tomorrow. He will be leaving Inverness at 3am. Steve & Rob (his support driver) are in bed now alarm set for 2am. Good luck Steve (Yompa) .

Absolutely awful - over the years I’ve loved applauding the winners of awards at our Stadium. This Cup Final Year, it is so down key, the players who get awards will feel it’s just so minimal it’s not worth even a photo. Similar to those of us who’ve sponsored players for umpteen years but this year, not even a photograph of the sponsored player. ICT seem to want the fans cash for sponsorship, voting for awards, etc, but - tough, nought in return. It’s getting very disappointing if not causing fans disillusionment. Soon fans will take their cash elsewhere if ICT don’t wake up and I lay the blame squarely on the grey suits and CEO. Get it sorted ICT or difficulties in the future re the true fan base.

So, teams that want us to lose: Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, County Teams that want us to win: Pretty much everyone else?

Been saying this since 2015 failings but usually find it followed by red dots and accusations of negativity

We’ve sold 6000 apparently

I've been in Glasgow all weekend and the common theme amongst Celtic supporters is they are worried about us spoiling their party!

While I agree with you that there is a significant influx of people of a more mature nature, I'm a pensioner, and when I used to visit other city's in other countries, I was always interested in their local teams, and while i might not buy a football shirt, I would buy a football related souvenir rather than a replica leaning tower or Eiffel tower, I have bottle openers, wallets and other paraphernalia. A lot of shoppers I saw in Bridge Street yesterday were all quite young, they don't all come from cruise ships, and if the club don't try, nothing is gained, every pound is a prisoner, and I just see glaring opportunities missed.

As we drove through the very busy tourist strewn streets of Inverness today, I was thinking, I wonder if the club has capitalised on the increased footfall by having a pop up store, to take advantage of our friendly visitors? What if we had a little section in one of the touristy shops, how many shirts or club souvenirs would we sell? I can't see many tourists going all the way out to the stadium to have a look, but they might if it was in one of the shops in town. We always seem to miss a beat when it comes to self promotion, while other clubs have their finger on the pulse. There doesn't seem to be enough hype surrounding the final. Celtic are a worldwide name in football, and we are playing them! Every man woman and child that visits our town should know that, and maybe they would take a little souvenir from our club back to their part of the world if they were readily available. The only thing of interest regarding ICT that surprised me today, was I found a little poster inside my copy of the Inverness Courier. So that will be put up tomorrow, and maybe a passing tourist will see it and think, oh the local Inverness team is playing the giant Celtic, I wonder where I can buy their football strip!

Glad I sold my extra ones on to some glory hunting OF scum desperate to whank over a treble while premium prices were available
