  1. The (to be replaced) Lossie East Beach Bridge.
  2. It would have been around 1993 when I was there. We (loosely) used the Kintyre Way for doing our DoE Gold Expedition.
  3. White & Storey scoring....can someone check on @Alan Simpson to make sure he's ok?
  4. I'd convinced myself it wasn't the Cuillins due to the distance from the road...but being a telephoto shot would account for that.
  5. Yup. Made the mistake of leaving my DSLR at home and the light was superb.
  6. A quick phone snap from recent travels...shouldn't be too tough as it's fairly iconic.
  7. Mon the Pars!! 0-1...keeps us in second.
  8. The stadium hosted over 19,000 for Elton John and 17,000 for Rod Stewart. It was suggested at the EGM that they may put the stage in the car park*, which might explain them only looking to host 10,000. Westlife drew a crowd of 12,000 (from memory) when they played Cawdor Castle 10 years ago, so 10,000 may be ample to meet demand...especially as they play Falkirk the night before and that will (unfortunately) take a sizeable bite out of the "rest of Scotland" crowd that might have made the trip to Inverness. *This was ruled out as an option previously due to the drainage issues in the carparks.
  9. Without checking back, was that tendering process perhaps for the corporate hospitality? As the previous CEO had been lining her own pockets on that one, then with her departure a new provider would have been needed.
  10. It appears that matchday catering (serveries) has been brought in-house, so that could easily account for the majority of the increased staff level.
  11. Winners got £17,750 when it was Irn Bru, not sure if that's changed with Tunnocks. All gates are split (think there's 10% allocated for home team costs before the split). No additional money for being televised as that money goes into the overall prize fund for the tournament.
  12. Hope not...Robbo thinks games against them would be too hard for us just now.
  13. Coincidence the bad run started when the EGM and our financial problems were announced and ended when the latest two re-appointments to the board were announced?
  14. Not sure ICTFC are in any position to be taking a stand against the idea of entering colt teams in the lower leagues given what we did with Fort William!
  15. The SFA have nothing to do with this competition.
  16. Would likely cost less than the current setup. The Board of Directors aren't paid and the Management Board is made up of existing staff. The Executive Director role is part-time (at most) and a General Manager costs a lot less than a CEO.
  17. Some of the best penalties I've ever seen us score.
  18. My perception of the different personalities is not that they wish to compete, but that they have different ideas on the day to day running and/or historical disagreements....with the exception of Muirfield Mills who were just an utter basketcase which was always destined to fail miserably! I'm of the opinion that a high level board of investors/directors (charged with securing capital investment and setting the budget) which had a management board/committee sitting below it to take responsibility for operational activities might just be able to pull everyone together. The Management Group would be headed by an Executive Director (the link between boards) and made up of representatives from each club dept (Football, Commercial, Marcoms, Community*, Youth, Fans) plus a General Manager. *Although this now seems a totally separate organisation, it needs to tie into the club very closely.
  19. I've worked for VisitScotland the past two summers doing mobile/pop-up tourist info. I basically spend 6 months of the year travelling all over Scotland, visiting interesting places, telling people how great a country we have....AND they pay me for it!! I've "worked" at 139 unique locations in those two years, plus visited a few more during our down time....so think I'll be up to near 200 places of interest. Best bit is that I get to drive one of these.....
  20. If the club goes to the wall, then nothing happens on the pitch ?
  21. Finally, some welcome good news. In David and Allan we have two guys who's primary concern is (and always has been) the club....and their past involvement and contributions support that to the hilt. I imagine the first priority will be to bring back the financial stability that existed prior to their (and others) departure....and then go from there.
  22. If I'd shown a bit more to the right it would have been fairly obvious from the mountains....it also would have revealed the island that's not far off the coast.
  23. The appeal of the drone, for me, is getting that different perspective...or indeed, putting places into perspective. It's also handy for getting above the pesky trees...lol.
