H-T DU 0-1 ICT RC 0-1 PT

Slightly off topic but is there anywhere on the website where there are photographs of all the various flags that have followed (and in some cases still do) follow ICT around? Just curious ;-)

FP - valid points but lets look at Sir C's post from the entertainment value (and again I am not referring to just on the pitch). I have watched football in a number of different countries and I can quite safely say if I was given a choice of being able to attend a match anywhere this weekend then other than being at Tannadice I would chose a match in Germany. The overall football experience is a good one (yes they do have problems at some games but what country doesn't) and the bratwurst and beer element (which is part of a bigger footballing experience) is part of that. Personally I think the new stadia that have emerged in Germany although very impressive have slightly lessened the experience (I am still a lover of those vast East European style stadia you used to see on the TV in 1970/80s European ties but I understand why they had to go). Some of these mega stadia (including Dortmund's) have managed to retain standing areas that are used for specified games. As CD has pointed out the major change(s) will not be made by an individual club - although yes there are things that they can do - the major changes will have to be made by the authorities (and visionaries?) who run our national game. Now that is a big ask.

I actually like the stadium - yes another stand or a large pitch length billboard structure with fans painted on it (aka Borussia Dortmund's wall of noise) would be nice but once this global warming lark kicks in we will have a nice wee stadium located on the banks of Costa del Moray and cold and blustery conditions things of the past :-))))

So what are the numbers? All those I know who have season tickets have renewed. Still believe though if we keep the football standard up there with the second 45 last Saturday then they will come irrespective of whether holding season tickets or not. Average home attendance is currently just over 4K. An increase to over 4.5K (12.5% increase) this season would be a good result. Personally I believe 5K should be possible but enticing another 1000 people (25% increase) through the gates every week is a big challenge but is what the club should be (and I believe they are) striving to achieve.

Oldham are a decent club and he has a manager who actually wanted him. Played today against Stevenage. One of three ex-ICT players on show in that game with the other two scoring. I think he will do well now the contract issues are behind him.

Tansey and Morais scored for Stevenage today in 3-4 defeat to Oldham

Top of the league (for now) ;-)

Good start to the season :-))))

3-0 - nice

H-T 0-0

You can see the headlines now 'Tor born to score' or 'Tor hammers County'

Troll-tastic - in fact a lot of trolling going on tonight ;-)

Nice little fenced area for the pitch. A decent start - hopefully the on pitch performances match it.
