Bring back the BENI....!!!

DigiSport Romania may well make it available in the UK. As nobody (to my knowledge) over here has purchased the rights then we'd not deny them permission if they so wished. We hope to do our own live commentary via ictfc.com/live but that is very much dependent on what kind of internet/4G connection we can get over there. Should hopefully have an idea on Thursday morning when we head there to check things out.

Maybe the type of player that's needed to operate alongside Lopez or Foran to allow them to play more of a poacher type function?

Ask me at the end of the season when we're getting ready to lift the Europa League Cup.

That's maybe a little high. The 500 figure is based on the 350 or so that we know are travelling by the coaches being organised by DBJ. About 50 on the club flight are fans and non-working club personnel (directors & partners etc)....rest of the flight is players, working club personnel & press. We allowed for another 100 arriving by means unknown (i.e. a guess). You're right though, even at that it's pretty phenomenal. Especially when you consider our average away crowd for a game in the central belt is about half of that. Just think of how many we might take to the away leg if we make it through and end up with West Ham...even though it may prove about as expensive to travel for that one as it is for Romania

There are advantages to keeping transfer dealings secret. Yes but only before they are secured. Or when you don't want to give the opposition any more notice than you have to..!

Communication with them has been a bit....eh....challenging. 500 is the number of fans we expect to see at the game, but having talked with one of their guys last week I believe the area being given to ICTFC fans actually houses about 800. The club are using their "VIP Seat" (I so hate that term) allocation for those travelling on the club plane, so they aren't included in the above figure.

First time (I can recall) them doing it was when we reached the SPL. Take-up was good due to us having to travel for home games and most people took up the option of converting them to full season tickets when we returned to TCS. They were then offered again the following season and take-up was low. They've been offered at least twice since then, with take-up being low on both occasions and some of those who took them being people who had previously had a full season ticket (i.e. less revenue for club). The last time it was talked about at a fans meeting the person made all the same comments you are now and the Chairman pointed out that the reality had never backed it up.....however, should he become aware of an increase in demand for 10 match ticket options (or similar) then he would certainly look to provide them. The reason I remember that is because I was the person pushing for it...

Travel Advice, Guide & Match Info for Away Leg v FC Astra on 23rd July : http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/1580-fc-astra-away--match-a-travel-info

When I left the stadium earlier they were trying to tie up the last few bits and pieces for the itinerary in the hope of getting it out before end of play....if they never managed that then it'll not be far off, so probably Monday morning.

The "No Standing" rule is an SPFL thing....nothing in the UEFA regulations (not that I can find anyway) about having to be seated.

Exact times for?

Not sure of the exact numbers, but the plane is full.

The club have looked at 10 game books a few times. The last time they offered them the take-up was in single figures and with the cost of getting the voucher books done, additional administration etc. it just didn't make any economic sense.

The new home kit design has been out there for weeks....it's just that nobody noticed it!!! See here https://www.eticketing.co.uk/ictfc/

Thought the crowd around the entire ground was fantastic tonight. The FC Astra guys were being quite complimentary of it as well. Apparently better than they get at most home games, so I'm expecting Caley Away to steal the show over there.

All you have to do now is find the Easter Eggs on there....worth the hunt!!

Yes.....had that confirmed this evening...it's DigiTV Romania. They are able to provide a feed should any TV companies over here wish to purchase the rights...which we've had no enquires for so far.

I know people think the whole "holiday" thing was just a line....but I can assure you it wasn't. Personally, I'm glad he's decided to make his visit a more permanent one. As it's someone Yogi already knows and trusts, then I don't envisage any negative effects from the transition....in fact, Brian has slotted right in and it feels like he's been around the place far longer than the couple of weeks he's been here.

BT only have the rights from the Group Stages onwards.

It's been available on DVD for years! It was produced by the Supporters Trust (Caley Jags Together). Think there's probably still copies for sale....sure one of the CJT Board will be able to confirm.

We don't have sufficient bandwidth available at the stadium to allow us to live stream the match....or we would be doing exactly that. The game is being recorded though, and we are looking to make it available at some point.

For a Double DVD, you're probably looking more like a figure of £12 to £15.....but that's just me sticking my thumb in the air and guestimating a price based on what it cost for the Feb 8th 2000 one that was done.

Joe, the assumption that the club are sitting around with their thumb up their butt doing nothing is a bit unfair. It has been communicated on here (several times), on the clubs social media and in response to many calls and requests from people in purchasing tickets etc....as well as put to press (but we have no control over what they choose to print) that we continue to chase the information. Requests are being made several times a day to FC Astra and we've also informed UEFA that we're having trouble getting the information. The club fully appreciate the length that fans such as yourself are going to in travelling out there to support the club and will obviously do everything it can to ensure that people are not left stuck without tickets or access to the game.
