In a bid to try to inject a bit of positivity to this forum it would seem that 'The Big One' was a big success this morning. Lots of cars and loads of punters. I believe they sold all of the spaces they had allocated. Wonder if the club shop being open was worth it. Good idea though, kids come along and sell their old toys etc and then spend their money in the shop. Win win

Well I've said keep him for now. Don't know what our options are. Think his jacket is certainly on a shoogly peg and like everyone else I was gutted with the half time score today. His time is definitely limited if performances don't improve, so let's see how he handles the pressure. I do agree that Mr Bennet and the board have to take some responsibility for the run of results, but then again so do some of our players. I would however love to see Barry Wilson involved in the coaching set up. ICT at heart, the club matters to him so I think he would do well, I know he is well respected in the dressing room. He would also have a great mentor/critic in his Dad. Robbo with Barry as assistant anyone?

Yes I stand corrected, Zoo have moved premises within the centre. Still good news though

It's not a new shop, the shop is already there. Zoo is a designer shop on the first floor opposite Debenhams. Especially on the run up to Christmas it is important we have a town centre presence and as this is a privately owned local shop I would assume they won't be taking as huge a comission as Debenhams did.

As the schools are still off, I thought I would remind folk that our reserves are playing Celtic reserves today with a 3pm kick off. Never mind the credit crunch - entrance is free and a good chance to see some of our youth players. I would imagine we will have a very young team out with us having a cup game tomorrow night, but if you've nothing else on it's worth popping down.

Glad I thought to record the game on BBC Alba. The visit to the Innes Bar was worth it alone. Quality quote from TM4TJ - thanking our feeder club for some good games over the years. :thumb04: :018:

As far as I'm aware no disciplinary action has been taken as yet.

I believe he has damaged ligaments which can be as bad if not worse than a break

Thats life mate. It was the same in school, its the same everywhere. Get on with it. It's difficult to read every post but if you report the posts we get e-mail alerts and can deal with things quite quickly. Just checked and no reported posts!

I was down at the stadium last night and can confirm that as expected the South (away) stand is now completely sold out. Tickets still available for the North Stand and I think there might even still be some limited availability in the family section. Ticket office is open until 8pm this week so if you are thinking about going but haven't got your tickets yet try and get them today if you can. There are a number of season ticket holders who are away on holiday, so even if they reach near sell out on paper, there is bound to still be a few gaps around the ground.

I'm not sure this was ever stickied, but if it was I'm not sure why someone would have unstickied it. Maybe Caley D and or Scotty can investigate. I'll happily sticky it now for you though.

I'll be on holiday so might make the game from Edinburgh. Do you need to be a member of the Supporters' Club to travel?

Sounds great guys - you go for it. Just one point for the Celtic game, can you make sure if you don't have a season ticket for section G that you change seats for this game and if you don't have a season ticket you buy your tickets soon to ensure that you can all sit together. Remember the increase in crowd will mean people having tickets for these seats so to avoid any problems sort it out as soon as possible. If you want to do these things in the future give me a shout and we can see if the Supporters' Trust can help out in any way, even if it was just to do the bulk ordering of the flags etc to sell on to all interested. We will try to help where we can.

Congratulations to you both. Glad I made it back from Paris in time to share your day. Thank you and all the very best to you both. Hey Buffy - where have you been hiding. not heard from you in ages

Congratulations. Hope all is well and he doesn't have too many sleepless nights.

I can't understand why you would use an emotive phrase like "milk the fans of their money". Nobody is compelled to go to a football match, the prices are set and it is up to the public to determine whether the price is a fair exchange for the entertainment on offer. The board and senior management have a responsibility to maximise revenue at any opportunity and if that means taking advantage of the fact that OF games have a considerably bigger appeal than the other 15 or so, they should not be criticised for it. Also the downturn in attendances and season tickets is likely to be largely down to the dreaded Credit Crunch. When money is tight, football is surely one of the first things that most are going to have to sacrifice (especially for families). Maybe we should lobby Gordon Brown - forget this energy efficiency rubbish, give the people what they want, free season tickets for your local club! An extra ?4 per ticket is a bit OTT, bearing in mind this game is in the middle of the school holidays and live on tele with an early kick off. I don't think this will be a sell out game. An average family would have to find an extra ?16 just to get through the gate. If I didn't have a season ticket I would be staying home to watch it on the tele.

The Supporters Club and The Supporters Trust met today with Les and Kenny to have a chat about how things might progress and ongoing dialogue is high on the agenda. The meeting was very constructive and we now plan to meet every few weeks to discuss events etc, which will avoid any further clashes.

Thanks for the info Darren and Welcome aboard.

Yes thank you I had forgotten, they do look a bit better now. I'm sure there are lots of other things I have missed but just wanted to give people an idea of what we do with the money we raise.

Thought it might be helpful to let you know the sorts of projects which benefit from the Supporters' Trust fundraising. Much of our funds do find their way back into the hands of the football club, but only to fund specific projects. We have agreed to assist with the funding of the travel for the youth teams who (like the first team) are greatly disadvantaged by our location and therefore have much higher travel costs. We have assisted youth and community on other occasions also and will continue to do so. We have sponsored the Street League this season giving them some much needed equipment. Funding grass roots and community initiatives are very much part of our remit. We obviously have purchased some season tickets for youth groups/schools to apply for (should be a bit in the Highland News this week). We have also supported a few smaller initiatives and we will be involved in a primary school olympic games event in the very near future. We were very happy to work with Barry's testimonial committee which was a great success and worked very well to everyones advantage. If you have any ideas for fundraising or are aware of any projects which we might be able to support then give us a shout via our new mailbox. Inverness Caledonian Thistle Supporters Trust PO Box 5736 INVERNESS IV1 9DD Meantime just come along on Friday night and part with some of your hard earned cash so that we can continue to support these initiatives
