Ok. First off i dont want this post to come accross as negative, but i wanted to see what other ICT fans thought the club's vision was. Can we as an SPL team see further south than Aviemore or North of Dingwall.
Listen we spent many years in the 3rd,2nd & 1st Divisions, biding our time until the day we got into the SPL...but i have still to see ICT have the vision i think an SPL club should be.
If you look at the bigger SPL clubs, they have a vision, they can exploit markets across world...Celtic didnt just buy Nakamura because he was a talented player. It also offered a lucrative Japanese market in terms of TV rights & Merchandising. What is raiding R*ss C**nty again going to do for us. Yes Barrowman has banged in 29 goals....but the 1st div is a different ball game...well its not but you know what i mean, lol.
I appreciate ICT are a young club and it takes time, but i just want Caley to talk about this and ease the minds of their supporters. We dont just care about the results on the park.
Ive followed Caledonian/ICT for 30 + years and my dream was to follow them into the SPL & Europe, but i dont see Europe happening without financial investment from somewhere and the vision required to take the club further up the league and stop Inverness kids supporting the Old Firm. We have out own SPL team now and they can see Old Firm players at the Tulloch Stadium 4 or more times each season
I lived in Edinburgh for over 10 years now so i dont hear whats going on with the supporters in Inverness. But im passionate about the club i first saw when i was 9 and i still get to as many games as i can.
So i hope this post makes sense and hope my brothers & sisters can help me get my head around the mentality of ICT
So to finish : You can take the team out of the Highland League but can you take the Highland League out of the team
Peace and see you tomorrow for Gretna
