Haha! "You're just a wee team!" Ready to get pmped?

When was the last time you heard us use the drums at home? It has been a while now... Oh it hase to be 3 or 4 years since we had the drums at home I think. Still think that singing without the drums would be better though. On saying that just getting any sort of noise just now would be a good thing I'd rather have a drum than no noise at all... It's like a library at times!

If seagull can buy the wuds a drum how about getting one for the Raith game?

I would guess dissent and or leaving the technical area?

ICTFC should complain to QoS about that match 'story'. Was it written by a 10 year old?!

As the headline on their page suggests - match story. What a strange report!

Further suspension tends only to occur when players contest the sanctions....

Nice. Will no doubt see you in the Innes pre-match.

I'm hopeful that by the 2nd of January our league ambitions won't have been written off... Are Dundee not due a wee run of bad luck at some point? :004:

Right, definately going to this one. Remember if you're travelling up/down to it Scotrail are still doing the ?15 anywhere in Scotland return. www.scotrail.co.uk/sainsburys

I STILL think we should play him. He was ok against Ayr. And let's face it - we need a goalscorer!

My point exactly!!!

Congratulations to the fella. Hope he'll be with us for a good length of time.

In a nutshell - yes. A lot of the teams we're playing week in, week out, have a good amount of young players.

I mentioned the referee in the Roll Call thread I started. I keep a keen eye on the sfa website to see who'll be officiating our games. Apparently the ref was involved in controversy last week.

LMAO (hope you're happy with the spellin RiG!)

I take the points of CaleyD and 12th man on board but I am still in agreement with Heilandee. In fact after reading the posts I'm even more in favour of u16s going free. I've been thinking about this since my initial response and as well as increased catering and programme sales - what about replica kit sales, and other merchandise from the shop which kids would want? IMVHO I would prefer to see young kids getting Caley strips, scaves etc than their parents going to Rangers / Celtic shops. We all know football fans are fickle and I'm of the opinion that there are bound to be kids who support either of these aforementioned teams simply because they watch them on tv. The club positions itself as being family friendly. What could be more family friendly than having under 16s go free?

Great initiative from Partick and good to see ICT trying something regarding kids prices.I think the whole thing should be extended to all kids under 16 should get in free to all SFL games when accompanied by an adult unless the club thinks a certain game will be a sell out.This would encourage folk along to watch more local games and, as you say, the club will probably recoup a fair bit of any lost revenue through food and drink sales.Football spectating is habitual and needs kickstarting to get a new generation into the habit that many older hands have got out of,if it's to survive and prosper in the long term. Great post Heilandee. I agree with you 100% I think trying to create habitual attendance among young fans would be a positive step. I'm not sure if the kids at Partick even have to be accompanied by an adult.

A chap I work with is a big Dee fan. He'll get in to the game today for ?11 and since two of his kids are under 16, he's taking them too. Ordinarily, he wouldn't take them along as they're not really in to football. He is, however, trying to discourage them from supporting Hibs. We were discussing Partick's policy as being very positive - especially in terms of the fact that his kids will want crisps, a coke and a hotdog. Add that in to buying a programme and you're looking at Partick prising about ?25-30 from his pocket. Further to this, I reckon after that parade through Inverness the other day the club might do an armed forces day? Noticed PNE are doing one soon. Good publicity for the clubs involved.

Good point RiG. They've only got one chant anyway. Hopefully they'll be through in numbers paying top dollar to get in.

They're such a feeder club. More tickets they sell though the better. More cash for us to strenghten and invest. I guess it's the thing that people who want to sign congregate behind the goals. Hopefully they won't be singing on the 2nd though.

Apologies if it came across as negative. I read the press release and it appears the ?1 tickets only applies to primary pupils. Just seems a bit peculiar in terms of identifying primary / secondary pupils.

I googled it. I'm now 50-50 about going at this point.

lol. Just of the thinking that if they have kids filling empty seats it might improve the atmosphere and the catering would do more trade? Just have a sneaky suspicion that the crowd against Raith might be on the low side.
