Better set up a standing arrangement for replacement skins then. More like to be the beaters that will break first though!

Thats because both mine and tony's drums are knackered and plus we have no beaters! No excuse. As I've told you guys before, if you need help with replacing drum skins and beaters etc. then let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do!!! Im not clued up on drums so i dont know what im asking for. We need 4 beaters and 2 drum skins for 2 medium sized drums? :D OK, so I'll make this as easy as possible for you. If you can arrange to get the drums dropped off at the Stadium, and let me know when you have, then I will take them, measure them, and arrange to get new skins for them and supply suitable drumsticks/beater....and it will cost you guys not a penny. The only thing I ask in return is that you make full use of them at home games. If you could get that done in the next week or so, then I would endeavour to have them back to you and ready to use for the Boxing Day game. Ill do one better. The Drums NEVER leave the stadium. Section G behind the rail.

Im in Drakies and i can see maybe 40-50 yards in front of me. I very much doubt the game will go ahead if it doesnt lift of thin soon.

Thats because both mine and tony's drums are knackered and plus we have no beaters! The right people are out there to help you out but its better if you go looking for them to see if they will help with regards to getting your drums fixed. That might work, if not sent a letter to the north pole and Santa might be good to you. Nah my Santa-ometer says ive been a bad boy this year

Could have been worse, Could have been an Iveco! :D

why do i sense that come next season if MM is incharge, we go on to win the league by 30 points??? :tonguecheek:

I dont understand why he doesnt want "ICT Manager" shown, cause STV could easily then after a few seconds flip the bar and have it then say" "Rangers whatnot - when ever he left"

Thank god there's someone else here who despises Errea. I dont think that they have ever sent anything on time to date.

oops i forgot procter got sent off :023:

see this is the bit that i didnt understand. I do know that financially its better to grind out results and just stay in the SPL but Hibs went a different route and decided to go attacking and look where they are now??? The season we had Niculae was when we should have pushed to a more attacking style.

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 Behave please, its been since County in the cup roughly since we have had the drums

Who are they kidding??? England WILL struggle to get out of this group. The Yanks should and probably will get through as group winners(after humiliating England in the process)

I would love to go but unfortuantely i can longer sustain payments on my ST so i have sold it on

And how long could that business model keep the club afloat? Not all County fans come from Dingwall. You do know this right? That is a very good question particularly given that their stadium only holds 30,000 so getting 40,000 crammed into it is some achievment indeed. Hoffenhiem is a subaurb of a German city so I would guess a number of fans come from that area as well. Especially given that the team is 1) doing so well and 2) is well backed financially. That too will attract lots of fans. Look at the crowds Livi would get for example when they were flying high. You won't get the same crowds at ICT solely based on cheap tickets. There are a number of mitigating factors that contribute to high / low attedances. You're changing your stance on this. You earlier said that you would get 10,000 - 11,000 fans along each week for the likes of Raith Rovers and Airdrie. Now it might fluctuate somewhat? Something of a rhetorical question that. It's pretty obvious what they would rather have but it doesn't prove (nor disprove) your point. I'm only five years older than you you cheeky git! The word you were looking for was minus ;) Right i'll go through this from the top quote 1) You would be surprised how long you would actually be able to sustain it 2) And not all Inverness Caledonian Thistle fans come from Inverness 3) I didnt bother to research this properly, all i knew is that there was some wee club in Germany that was doing well. I didnt go too far into researching it. 4) Ofcourse it will fluctuate with clubs whose fans dont travel too far(but thats not the main reason) but if this did turn the teams onfield performances round then the fans would turn up for those kind of games. 5) Yep, it is somewhat rhetorical but again you always hear about Celtic Park being a "fortress" on European nights(not so much now) but it would intimidate teams which will include the likes of Dundee, Partick etc. who come up here. 6) In the context of the sentence, "minusing" sounded better than just "minus".

At ?10 and ?1, yes County get around 2,000-2,500 average(Dingwall is only what 6,000 or about). There is a German club(Hoffenheim i think) who play in the Bundesliga and attract around 40,000+ every home game yet they play in a village which has a population of 10,000? How? Anyway you need to think more of it as a youth academy. When you have your teenagers(ie15 and 16 year olds in this case) they would have to buy a seat in either stand for a tenner. Then the next lot of youngsters can come into my proposed family stand. You would also take on board the amount of fans who (inevitably) stop coming to watch the games. Supply and demand people. if its over subscribing each week consistantly, then fill in one of the corners. If not then bide it out til it does. I have always maintained that a full stadium would get the most out of the team. Would the team rather see a stadium which is a 3rd full each week(like it is now and declining) or would they rather see a full stadium with all generations supporting them week in, week out??? And on CaleyD's point on stewarding. What stewarding??? At home just now there is 3 stewards to the entire North Stand with the occasional "team leader" walking by. I dont know what it is for the main stand so say its 6? So hiring another 6 for another stand cant be that expensive can it? That would be "taking away" or "subtracting" to you older folks. :D

When was the last time you heard us use the drums at home? It has been a while now...

I bet you we wouldn't and that the club would soon be on the verge of going bust. Still, your enthusiasm is to be admired Doubt it? Say with the family stand that even primary and high school kids can go there(even without an adult with them), let them in for a quid at least you will make ?2,500 on the day just from ticket sales because lets face it, that stand would be sold out every game. If these kids want to go to the north/south or even the main stand then they pay the ?10 for a seat. ICt's average home attendence is roughly abut the 3,000 mark(give or take a few hundred either side). At ?14 quid, they are only making ?30k-?40k(minusing the season ticket holders). So with this idea ICT only need to have an extra 2,000 fans inside the stadium to be making the same they would right now, and thats just under half the actual capacity.

I didnt go to the game nor did i read or watch any highlights or reports until now but is this true. Danni Sanchez was brought on after 71 minutes and subbed back off 9 minutes later???

would they not be best dressed up as "The Joker" from Batman???

Well if i owned ICT, i was going to build the 4th stand(about 2,000-2,500 seats) and move the family section into it. Then start the family season tickets and ONLY families could go into that stand and charge ?10 everywhere else. i bet you we would get 10,000-11,000 pretty much every home game. Oh and numbers permitting, id actually segregate the south sound as SFA rules state that a home club must give the away team an allocation of atleast 10%(10% of 10,000 is 1,000) so there would be only 1,000 away tickets available. Good idea for when you have the old firm up here for cup games. Oh and thats another thing that unless the old firm drop this 5% thing, then id actually sell the away allocation to their Inverness based fans group(ie For Rangers id sell them to the True Blues) atleast then if they wanted to continue the idea they pretty much police themselves. Brilliant idea on paper though!

Good point RiG. They've only got one chant anyway. Hopefully they'll be through in numbers paying top dollar to get in. I take it that it is "oh to, oh to be, oh to be a...staggie!"

What are you talking about! We have had the best result in years! We have actually got the board thinking about something that will make the fans feel better at home games! :P :011:

You could save yourself money and buy "Im supporting all teams that play Engalnd at the 2010 World Cup" on the back could say "And im damn proud of it!" hehe
