I found this twitter post re the 2023 cup final. An interesting statistic.

Approaching 3,000 ticket sales according to my HOM contact. Unbelievable. Hope other clubs can do this. 

Not posted in the forums for yonks. Life gets in the way i suppose. I'm still Edinburgh based so know a lot of Jambos. Phone has been pinging all day with messages about this. Well done Hearts FC and their supporters for their efforts. 

Hope every one is safe n well. 

Edinburgh evening news repirting the Bily King deal is all but confirmed.  He's out of contract at the end of the deall too.

I asked a few days ago. See link in this post for the publisher

really? The Highlights are there but i want the who bradcast

Thanks. I couldn't find that at all

Seeing as i was at the game I would have liked to have seen the match build up and the post match interviews etc.

Any reason the game isn't on Iplayer?

i was a tad disappointed when i got to my seat and no card!  I was in the South stand so not part of it. But when I saw the display across from me i was glad. Well done to all involved in its making. It looked fantastic and added to a great day

on ebay for £8.99 but unsure if official

I'm not really a programme buyer but a jambo mate suggested that i could order one from the publishers. Means it won't get all bent and messed up in my jacket pocket.

Anyone know who prints these so i can contact them?

Definately this club has surpassed my expectations.  I always knew Caledonian & Thistle when we merged, were far superior to the then 2nd and 3rd division teams; so as far as dreams were concerned it was to play in the top division which we achieved in no time at all.  Yes I always had dreams of winning a major trophy or playing in a European competition but these were pipe dreams.

Credit must go to Butcher & Malpas for installing the "I believe" ethos in the team and the fans;  and i'm happy that that has been strengthned with Hughes et al.

What would it mean to me? Well some fans spend their whole lives supporting a team who will never reach the heights we have, so this would mean the world to me and hopefully to the kids growing up in Inverness. 

If we do win this cup i emplore the club to exploit it and ram it down kids throats. Bums on seats is everything.

and my thoughts are with those 2nd and 3rd division teams who are still chasing that dream.

Nerves be kicking in now! Especially since my dream the other night about a 3-1 win for the Bairns.

I could have done one but i think its a little too late now. I did think about one using samples from the truly awful "Bring it on home" but I'm not sure the club or Mr Balfe would have endorsed such work

Falkirk Fan at work says their initial 10,000 allocation is sold out and they club have asked for a further 2,000 tickets.

Gulp!

Great Idea 12th Man! Im sure there is a community liaison person at the club who might be able to work with the schools. Make is a great community project

I recall around the time of last years LC final  a lot of people on here agreeing to take part in a huge ICT display with cards etc. Sadly it didn't happen for what ever reason.

How do we go about doing one for the SC final?

Whoever does the club Tweets has gone viral with this rather funny article.

Oh and I've realised this is my first post of this season.  Did you miss me? Welcome back me!

Its good to see my old bands being mentioned! I was the drummer in The Boyfriends with Graham and A Gentle Sound. AGS only played Inverness twice ( Spectrum Centre & The Muirtown Motel). Graham did go onto better things! I think he was involved with the BIS lot and is still doing his Thurston Moor impressions these days!

 

I dont recall JAMC playing Inverness! But I did attent a lot of those gigs mentioned, Death Cult, Smiths, Soiuxie, Echo. Anyone do The Clash at the Ice Centre?

 

Join the AGS fan page on FB! Lots of memories, demos & pics,

Saw youse at Barrowlands supporting Northside, thought you were going to be big. What happened?

 

Could'nt ever top that night! We just fizzled out like the whole 'Baggy' thing did. If we had kept on we might have merged into a Brit Pop band. 25th Anniversary this year so you never know we might do an reunion show lol.

I imagine the ability to "seethe" under pressure a major requirement for the job!

Sorry! Home end Home fans!

My dad took me to this game when i was a youngling! Anybody got any info on the match re Teams, was it a Testimonial or pre season friendly.

All i remember about it was it was midweek and at night. Must have been early 80's

I agree with your post Smee! Too many whingers for my liking.

I keep meaning to post the conversation I had with some Aberdeen fans in a Glasgow pub after the LC final! They reminded me that their own team came from a merger with 2 local clubs (albeit not a bitter one) and it took some 40 odd years for them to get to a major final so we should be happy & proud that we did it in 20. I don't even think Aberdeen were in the top division either?? 

Top 6 and a cup final is a great season for us but I would happily give that away if we managed to increase and maintain a larger fan base. Glory is nothing if you don't have the fans to witness it.

I remember well the Partick fans joining us away at Clyde because they didn't want them going up! I'm sure they thought we wouldn't be allowed promotion because of the 10,000 all seater rule meaning their safety in the SPL bottom spot.

Still on FM13 with Saint Ettiene

Any one got any old punk or New Wave music badges lying in a box.

I collect & trade in badges so i'm always on the look out for them; particularly Damned badges.

If you have any you want rid off, sell or want to swap then message me here or at Newwavebadges@yahoo.co.uk

Anything considered so if your not sure if your badges are new wave, rock or pop then message me anyway

Cheers
