SMEE

I just hope that by midnight tonight, Dargo has either signed on or shipped out so a line can be drawn under this whole **** taking episode. ICT resserected his career, yet he doesnt seem to have shown much courtesy back, certainly where the fans are concerned!

Main difference is...........you know you got a job to go back to on the monday morning! I think the club has showed weakness over this whole saga. He has taken the ****, as he has had about 4-5 "deadlines" which have come and gone. He has had 6+ months to have decided what to do. Call his bluff and force his hand

Always had a soft spot for Clach. Before ICT was conceived, Cellic were my weapon of choice to follow in Scottish League. And in FEB land Newcastle Utd.

Rather Sellic win to be honest.

Out of intrest, how much does it cost to get into the Toronto Fc games? What sort of level would you say is the standard? Ya know..........SPL standard or maybe higher....like.... Highland League? :blah01: :crazy07:

Its Apparently in response to the shambolic episode on Saturday wi singing section. They are to approach other SPL clubs to see what the feeling is

Just been/going to be an article on North Tonight.

Just been on the news that ICT are to investigate the possibility of introducing standing areas at the ground. I for one would welcome that, if nothing else may lower the price and be more acheivable for folks to afford to go to the games.

I was being facetious RiG :021:

Why does'nt EVERYONE who feels aggrieved by this, ALL bombard the official site with emails with a pre determined (possibly decided on here) message demanding an explanation and appology? You know wat i mean....one literate, well learned individual posts a well put together case, then those who wish can cut and paste it into an email, then send it to the club. Surely they could not ignore that?

Does this all mean that if ICT score a goal, all those who stand to celebrate are potentially going to get turfed out? They have to be consistant here. ICTFC and all involved in its running, has to take a good long look at themselves. It is an embarassment at times the way they seem to miss golden opportunities to generate extra intrest in the club. They should not be victimising the already **** poor amount of people who actually go the games. They seem to be missing the point of running a football club!

This will subject will always bob up now and then....and so it should be allowed to, as we currently live in a democracy. if people dont like it, they should not qualify its existance by replying to it. I remember posting a reply to a similar thread many sites ago under my then username. My view is this. I was a Caley man. Originally Brought up where i could hit Caley Park with a well aimed stone. Had been going to games since 1976-77. Used to go chase footies for em at training every monday and thursday as a wee boy. And had been known to go in on a sunday and help clean the ground (mainly to try a find a free programme) Now.......when the merger was going thro, the questionaire was passed out asking for views on Name, I had forseen all the problems that would eat away at people by leaving Thistle and my beloved Caley in the name. The most embarrasing problem being, the still present division between supporters of the same team. I voted for Inverness! And I can tell ya this much. ICT never has, and never will replace what I had for Caley. But they are gone, and so the name should too, along with Thistle.

Actually....would a draw screw up both gretna and Tinks as long as St J do the bizz?

Al be with you in spirit :021: :021: :022: :015:

I for one will be quite glad to see the tinks go down. I dont subscribe to this "support the highland team" crap. Out of St Johnstone and Gretna, I want Super J's, as Gretna are guilty of the very things that I beleiveing is impacting on the game (ie: paying silly wages) Yes, its a bit of romance etc etc, but if gretna do get in, how is a town gonna sustain a top league team when the population is under 3000, most of whom are Rugby orientated? And the stadium has to seat over two times the population of the town!!

I just found out i qualified for season ticket about november time...so contacted the club and spoke to an individual who could well do with learning some customer skills! Since found out this person is reknowned for this

Al giv you a wee insight into the running of this club. Due to illness, i am no longer working. I had been paying to go to football in Inverness since 1976 until a few yrs ago. Then at the tail end of last year, i find out i would qualify for a free season ticket because of my circumstances. Got my thinking head on, having seen half season tix for sale, I phoned the club about the possibility of an equal ticket being available to me. And i was shot down in flames and told I couldnt get one. Now.....where is the logic in this? On prob 85% of home games, there is prob the best part of 3000 ish seats unused. But rather than show a bit of initiative, (ie: bums on seats) they would rather bypass this matter. Says it all really! And as for cutting tix for away fans, thats ridiculous! Why limit yer income even more and have even more seats empty the majority of the time? I am no business brain, but I can see the flaw in yer proposition. Unless of course your anticipating a sudden surge of intrest from people wanting to come to the games? the sad fact is, the intrest doesnt appear to be there.

Bennet in todays Courier regarding Dargo......"We have made him as good an offer as we are able to," he stated. "However, Craig has been honest enough to tell us that he wants to wait and see what becomes available. Question is, should ICT allow themselves to potentially be Second choice should nothing come along for him? Personally, I dont want any mercinaries or the like at the club!

Wouldnt be a sad day in my house. Ad be jumping thro hoops and putting up the bunting :021:. As someone sed, they would have a free bar in Tinks Social club if boot was on other foot.

Next time, they should keep a guy a line. You live and learn!!

I rekon County should be sacraficed in for the sake of Clachs survival. :022: Av never subscribed to the SUPPORT THE HIGHLANDS team pish. Fek em.......hope they go to the wall. Only got in the league coz Elgin ****** cheated!

Just looked thro the old stadium pics and was reminded of hamden. I remember as a child thinking the commentary box looked so unsafe and about to slip off the roof (hopefully wi **** brown in it). Also, Tannadice, was and still is the worst ground for me simply as its so bits and piecey. Am into symetrey and cant stand lopsided off centre stands.

I for one hope they stay alive, as I grew up up wi Clach fans and the craic was always great there on derby day in the old highland league days. Simple fact is tho, they cant keep getting bailed out only to get in a mess again. Dunno what the answer is but hopefully someonme does.

My memories of crowds etc are the same of yours clacher, as i sed, i went wen Caley were not the sucessful team and crowds were pish. Think it was Keith that was THE team at that point.

Has anyone got a copy of the book to hand? I clearly remember reading about AND being amazed by the crowds mentioned throught the book. In comparison, I was at A caley game in midweek which there was (if i remember correctly) 82. At minimum, am sure the average crowd in them days would be more than it is for ICT. U can argue the ....less to do in them days point all you want, but am sure the population rise would cancel that out.
