clacher_holiday, if you read In A Different League by Rod Clyne i think, which covers the forst 100 years of The Highland League, am sure you will find Im not far wrong!!

To clacher_holiday....I was just re-reading some of this thread and thought i would clear a point u made in reply to my earlier post. When i was referring to crowds of 8000 in 60s, I wasnt meaning for OF teams or the like. I was meaning run of the mill Highland league games against the likes of Lossiemouth etc!!

Well, it wouldnt be the first ground that had more in it than its official capacity. Even 6000 should easily be achieve-able in Inverness on matchday. I would rather play to 6000 and take in lets say £30 000 at the gate, than take in the £30k and play in front of 3000

I see it like this. As an ex....er.......em......Caley fan ( am i allowed to say that?), why is it in the old Highland league days of the 1960s etc, you would get 8000+ turning up for games yet the population was prob a third of what it is today? Todays prices are a rip off, pure and simple! Considering the realities of all the money pressures on the "average" person. And am not reffering to the "average" person that the govt would have us believe that takes home £400 a week. I mean the real average person
