100-200 for each half of the old firm would be my guess, but only when we're winning. 10-20 otherwise.

The great thing about this fixture is that I don't really care if we got horsed. 14 points from 9 games is a brilliant start to our season and anything we get from the Rangers game is a bonus. Pressure is all on them for this one.

What was this all about? Yes spill the beans. ICT for me. Yes AD, remind us about "pengate". Reading this thread again, it seems obvious now that the OP is on a fishing trip. "Dougal" to "Douglas" is not a massive leap of faith.

Buenos of That Ilk. A "prominent" Caley Rebel who posted on here for some time under that name. A "life long" Caley fan who, when taken to task for throwing the Chic Allan Trophy into the river, was alleged to have asked "So who was Chic Allan anyway?" You have to give him some credit for LSM though, Charles. Some of that was brilliant. A flawed genius?

This is dreadful. Not a single attempt on goal so far. Second best all over the pitch.

Dec. 9th 1995 - Humping County 5-2 in the Inverness Cup Final at Grant St. I remember Bobby Wilson shaking his head in despair as Stewarty slammed in a hat-trick. Mikey Teasdale and Thommo made their debuts and Daisy Ross tore the County full back a new one. A very noisy crowd of 3000, the vast majority of which were in the covered enclosure behind the goal, made it a fantastic atmosphere. Great days.

?10 actually and ?5 for concessions. Dad and 2 kids = ?20 entry as stated in my original post.

Ha ha ha ha ha! Dad and 2 kids = ?20 entry, ?2 parking, ?2 program, ?12 at half-time = ?36 for an evening watching ICT v whoever in a meaningless (unless you get to the semis or final) cup. Definitely not a cheap night out.

The obvious problem with merging the Angus clubs for example, is that each of the 4 clubs is situated in a small town miles from the other (Arbroath 22785, Montrose 10845, Forar 13206, Brechin 7199. Is a Montrose fan going to want his club to merge with Arbroath??

(This pic is accredited to Mike Troughton and Mantis) Possibly reduced to concrete dust in 1996?? Looking at the state of the goalmouth area, I'm guessing that the Howden End pic was taken in the Autumn, probably taken in the Autumn of 1996 as a record of our old ground.

Yeah I should have made sure the pic info couldn't be viewed by right-clicking. Great pics on your Grounds for Nostalgia page.

1) Caley, Caley Thistle, and IHE 2) Falkirk 3) Clydebank 4) Rangers 5) Kilmarnock OK, next time you will not be able to right-click and find that so quick!

A wee quiz to pass the time. Who played here? (This pic is accredited to Mike Troughton and Mantis)

If the league structure has to be changed, the only viable option is 14 teams with a 6/8 split after 26 games as CaleyStan says. Clubs would play each other twice post-split giving 36 games for the top half and 40 for the bottom half. This solves the problem of teams having an uneven balance of home and away fixtures. The problem for the likes of ourselves would be fewer games against the top sides, assuming we don't finish top 6.

August 10 means August 2010 not August 10th! Why are 3 of the 4 overtaking lanes for Northbound traffic anyway? And they're far too short. More likely to cause an accident than prevent one.

I must be needing glasses because I see no mention of Tuffey in that article. :piano:

Defo Iain Stewart. The most natural goal scorer we've ever had. Feel sorry for younger fans who never saw him at Telford St or TCS. Believe me, he lit up the place.

Come on, does anyone actually believe Foran wrote this? Would any player refer to the 1st division title as the "Irn Bru First Division Trophy"? Obviously written by someone else and approved by Richie.

That's a joke in pretty poor taste, and not even remotely funny.

On the contrary, the term <my racist comment> is used by Tottenham fans to discribe themselves (<my racist comment> army). It, I suppose, will be offensive to some, or some will be offended on others behalf as is this PC world now, but to say its unacceptable is not strictly true. Spurs fans on <my racist comment> Army It is commonly used by Jews among themselves, a bit like the N-word is used by blacks speaking/referring to other blacks, especially in the US. I would be wary of using it if you are not Jewish, or a Spurs fan speaking to another Spurs fan!

Pretty fair article I thought. I do though wonder at some central-belters who think a trip to Inverness is a major expedition. I regularly bomb down to Glasgow/Edinburgh for a day, leave early...day's work...home in the evening. They are spoiled rotten down there as far as travelling to most away games goes.

Got any new jokes?

Hi All Metro.co.uk have got a Fantasy Football competition running for the World Cup. I've set up a minileague called ICT Online, which anyone can join by registering at the Metro site, picking a team and click on "join minileague". The league pin number you need is 8006821. This was a great laugh during Euro 2008. As I remember, all participants donated money to charity and Alex MacLeod kindly donated a new ICT shirt to the winner. I would like to do this one in a similar format with a view to raising ?160 to buy a Wii console (or something else if they have one already) for the Childrens' Ward at Raigmore. Please note you do not have to donate anything to participate. I would suggest a ?10 entry fee but donate whatever you feel comfortable with. I haven't sorted out anything with regards to actually making a donation. Will do so if there is enough interest. Cheers

OxyMORON! I doubt ICT will relocate any time soon, if ever. If it were to happen though, it's got to be to the Bught. Walkable distance from the town centre pubs, which Holm Mills is not. Going back to Charles' point about gridlock, this wouldn't be such a problem as fewer people would take the car due to the proximity of the Bught to the town centre. The Race For Life event probably had a lot of people from out of town who would have driven there out of necessity. If Hearts can manage it with 15.000 in a built-up area then I'm sure we can with 3,000 - 4,000. Never happen though.
