As far as I'm aware, they will be afternoon kick-offs throughout the winter months.

I do

Charles, I wish some of your colleagues in the press/media understood the importance of these things as much as you do. Perhaps you should come speak to John & Stuart and do a piece on the subject?

We do. Club Physios John McCreadie & Stuart Phin both have expertise in, and work with players on, this.

My thanks to Johndo for letting me video him for this years Christmas video....

Goals being spread around is absolutely the preferable option. If for no other reason it removes the risk of injury/suspension to one player nullifying a teams scoring threat. If you want a second reason, then it means the opposition don't know where the goals are going to come from and who to "cover" which makes us tough to defend against. The latter is something which John Hughes uses to great effect....it's no coincidence that Meekings has chipped in with a couple of goals recently....and who knows which player will be next to do similar?!

The new bar scarf arrived a wee bit earlier and is now available to buy in store and online : http://ictfc.com/commercial/store?page=shop.browse&category_id=27 Might want to grab it quick before I succeed in convincing them to charge more for it due to it being far better quality (tighter knit & embroidered badge) than other scarves. It's a steal at just £10.

A wee bump to remind people that this is on tomorrow evening.

The person best placed to make that decision is John Hughes....In Yogi We Trust!!!

Tomorrows match has been postponed.

YOUR MESSAGE SEEN BY THE TEAM IN THE TUNNEL BEFORE EVERY HOME GAME!! Struggling for a Christmas present for the Inverness Caledonian Thistle fan in your life or perhaps you want to treat yourself and support the team in a way that has never been seen before at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium? Caley Thistle Fans can help with the club's first ever "Tunnel of TogetherNess" - a wall of support which the players will see before taking to the pitch adding extra motivation after John Hughes has spoken to the players in the dressing room. At the moment the wall is white, bare and boring so its over to the supporters to add their words of encouragement, motivation and support to the players as they stand ready to step out onto the pitch. Tiles are 25 x 20 cm in size and your can have maximum of four lines per tile with a maximum of 25 characters per line. Each indivdual tile costs just £25 and you buy yours today by calling the Commercial Team on 01463 222880 or email [email protected]<script type="text/javascript"> /* */ </script> (P.S. Don't knock the name....it's not easy being cheesy!!)

SPFL don't have any involvement with the Scottish Cup, it's the SFA. Info I have from SFA says they will be putting up highlights from every match on their YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottishCupOfficial), but they also say they will be available on the Monday following games at the weekends and I'm not seeing ours from Saturday yet! Not sure exactly what the situation is with other broadcast partners (BBC, Sky etc).

Let's see how these sports are doing a few years down the line when the novelty wears off. Basketball in England went through a popular phase a few years ago and then went bust over night....ice hockey did similar. About the only thing that article tells us....and you have to read between the lines because the journalist totally misses the point....is that people like a bit of novelty. The "lesson" to be learned is that Scottish football currently provides the exact opposite with teams playing each other 3/4/5/6 times a season. As I pointed out on Twitter to someone yesterday....the cinema is expensive, yet people still go time and again (some people go every week). Why? because there's variety and they don't go along to watch the same movie over and over. That's not something that's within the clubs control....and thanks to St Mirren and Ross County who veto'd proposals for reconstruction that would have allowed a shift in the right direction....it's now going to be even more difficult to achieve agreement for. I had a discussion with someone recently who said they never bought a season ticket this year because the price had gone up again....they "had to go" when I pointed out that prices hadn't increased in the last 4 seasons. People need to stop lapping up the garbage spouted by the media (not all, but a large majority) who, in my opinion, are doing more to damage the game with their constant negativity. I stopped buying newspapers years ago because there's less and less about the actual matches and more and more negative BS about non match stuff. I witness it nearly every week where (some) journalists don't want to speak to goal scorers and guys who've had a great game...they want to speak to the guys who maybe had a bit of handbags with someone or made a couple of errors during a match. Anyway, back to attendances....one small (positive) factoid which I've not seen any journalist or reporter pick up on... Our average attendance is holding up for this season....despite a huge drop in away fan numbers. Conclusion : Home fan numbers must be on the up. Also, last nights attendance was par for the course given the recent history of attendances for midweek cup replays (not just with us)....in fact, it was about 25% more than was predicted/expected.

No Chick Young tomorrow night. It's Barry Wilson, Rob McLean, Billy Dodds & Martin Dowden on the list, but not sure if all doing match commentary.

Ticket prices are the same for the North Stand.

Please note....contrary to the information previously provided, the North Stand WILL be open tomorrow night.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle have, today, announced their Half Season ticket packages with supporters able to take advantage of tickets from as little as £45 to watch John Hughes' boys for the remainder of the season.

Fun for all the family between 6 and 8pm in the ICTFC Family Sports Bar with the chance to meet Santa, Nessie Elf, 1st Team Squad & Manager as well as enjoying Christmas Subways, Christmas Drinks & other Christmas Treats. You'll also have the chance to pick up a Christmas present for the Caley Jags fan in your life in the Christmas shop and get your 2015 Calendar signed by the players. EVERYONE WELCOME..!!!!

I imagine that crowd predictions would have shown no operational need to incur additional costs by opening any other stands.
