CJT cup semi final statement
Very disappointed with the SPFL, and feel they had ample time to have come up with a much more concrete plan, given the numbers in their organisation and the meeting timeframe. That being said, CJT have done all they could, have done justice to the supporters direct ideal, and now it will be left to see what the SPFL will do with the good faith given to them...

The new manager thread
Shiels? If it turns out to be true, ICTs image is about to change. And not for the better.

Excellent recognition. Well deserved.

CJT cup semi final statement
I think the safest option for ICT fans would be travelling by rail and staying overnight. It's £52.10 for an off-peak train return, £65.00 for a guest house, and basic subsistence, of, say, £30. A conservative estimate of £150. The Hearts fan will pay £3.50. (I'm sure the SPFL will cover the difference, just to be impartial.)

Real Madrid Want Gauld
Has always puzzled me why Scotland hasn't provided a world class player in the last 30 odd years. But Jack Harper (Real Madrid) and Islam Feruz (Chelsea) are the first twinkles of light in a deep, dark recess where, like Sauron or Voldemort, Scottish football has been festering, clammy and rancid. But of late, there are murmurings, that there are players, the likes we haven't seen since the Clangers, emerging, slowly, like dewy snowdrops. Gauld speed. We are the new Belgium.

The BBC. Siphoning off millions into salaries of the few, millions from public money, and not a suspension proferred. Hires muscle to get its TV licence fees that then get spent on massive salaries for executives. Asides from opinion on women's football, the BBC need their own moral compass found, and to stop trying to find it in other areas of the media. I actually didn't like his article, I think it was base and crude, but that's what the DR is, so one can't really be surprised. But a word in his ear would have been suffice.

Can't believe the fourth paragraph, 1st line, wasn't edited. Mind you, it's hardly the Observer, Independent, et al... But still!! To be honest, I haven't watched MOTD at all this season. Can't get excited over millionaire players who are greedy whining racist/violent/criminal/morally corrupt idiots. Kind of like paying £35 to go to Golds Gym to shout for Mark Zuckerberg against Bill gates at Squash. has no meaning. maybe just getting old, but women's football - at least they do it for the love of the game and give it their all. The SPFL has more interest for me than ever for the same reason.

New Home Shirt 2014-15
@Forza: I'm actually well up for fan design but first we have to come up with some reasoned structured offer. I think people could vote for stripes, swooshes, etc. on a blind vote but as for submitting actual designs....would be a big step for fankind.

New Home Shirt 2014-15
I have come up with a few reasons why fans don't get input on strips. Novelty: Most shirts are bought soon after the release date, the impulse factor would be lost Too many kooks: those who don't get what they want may be less likely to buy Designers: Even with a fan design, the finished article is different, and may lead to some umbridge Big cheeses: sponsors, investors, manufacturer, board, players, etc. may have other ideas Designers 2: often they hold the cards, and don't like being told what to do

Another good MacGiollaBháin article
Though they are right, these people will never admit it. And it is not a big deal in the scheme of things, it doesn't change any thing either way. Better to be pushing against FIFA corruption than semantics. that said, Jim's comments were just off the cuff, and this reaction needs to be taken seriously by police. “Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.” Oscar Wilde

New YouTube Series - Away Days
Very good video. Thanks for the pie-shot. Interested to see what will unfold in this series as the season continues. The scripting worked a treat, as did the new teknoligy. I think some info on the stadium/stewards/facilities/match day experience/ticket price/ food stop/ would maybe be of wide appeal, to me at least, to know which grounds are good value, but just my yuppence worth, thanks for the vid.

Cownty vs Arabs
Been found out. Second season syndrome, the novelty has well and truly worn off. Don't get me wrong, I have no desire to see RC go down, it is a far more interesting league with them in it, I would just prefer they had an adult in charge.

Can We Win The League?
I say wait til January. We still know next to nothing of how this squad will do after the honeymoon opening period. That said, after the Celtic game, I did wonder what Terry's post-match speech would be...

Boosting attendances
Not trying to be negative Krishima but its been tried and wasn't exactly a rip roaring success. It was probably be repeated at some point tho. I share Terry's frustrations but crowds are what they are unfortunately. Why wasn't it a success do you feel? I agree, I don't think there is a magic wand, and it's a niche expensive hobby in a small city, and I think the club is already very fair with kids and families. We all know that a lot of people in Inverness have previous allegiances to other SPL or Div 1 teams, which is up to the individual, but the problem there is often kids will follow the parents team. I think the more young kids get time coached by ICT the more likely they will be to form an attachment. It may be that it is grassroots.

Boosting attendances
All very good posts, but you sense Terry's frustrations, last season and this. The core support comment by OCG is right, and I dont think this thread is negativity, I think people are starting to empathize with Terry. The best idea I have seen so far is "bring a friend" - simple as it sounds, I think that has potential for to try some promotion marketing on with one game in the future.

Boosting attendances
People are skint, more so people are in the red. Very few people see it as money well spent, even if they could make cutbacks elsewhere. If there was something around the stadium to make it a destination. A pub, a crèche, a shopping centre, a bookies, five a side pitches, shops, a cafe, a bookstore, a restaurant. As it is, it's get in, get out. There is no glamour, people are obsessed by celebrities, fashion, glam and bling, and that it is not. it's a socio-cultural swing. ICT can only affect one of those things, and even that's a no-go.

Should we build a fourth stand
Interesting. No demand/money for a new stand, or a shop/building. There must be some ideas on how it could make money... Erect marquee tents and have pre and post match party, etc. 10 quid entry including a pie, and a pint, cash bar after. Only during less busy games. One for home, one for away. I'm sure there are better suggestions...

Song for Caley
I like the "oh Inverness, .... Is wonderful, oh inverness is wonderful, it has a bridge and a castle, oh inverness is wonderful" and I think that should be the chorus of any new song. Also would like references to "going ballistic", somehow. I think the club should do a songwriting competition!
