Club Shop - Academy Street?
There's a reason we don't have a town centre shop and it's very simple - the club just don't want one. I know they always trot out the 'we've looked into it' line whenever they're asked about it but the simple answer is that they just don't want one.

Transfer in and outs
Most of the signings Butcher made (and Marsella scouted) were from an agency down south.

The retained players have the same numbers. Ridgers is wearing 28, Seedorf 17, Calder 16, Baird 9 and Chalmers 4.

Heard at the game today that we signed him officially last night.

Inverness CT -V- Brechin City
Seedorf played very well. Seemed technically very good especially for a defender. Calder I'm less sure about - he's decent enough going forward but got skinned a few times down that side in the first half. Wonder if he'd be better at left wing as I think the only time we'd get away with him at left back would be if we played a back five. Oakley was reasonable enough, but I think he looks more like a number 10 than an out and out striker. Baird was making runs that others weren't finding and I wonder if he'd feed off a target man a lot better.

He's Curacao's all time top scorer apparently.

The Twitter account 'Mr Fly On The Wall' says that the striker is Curacao international Felitciano Zschusschen. Formerly of FC Twente and now in the German fourth tier at Saarbrucken.

There are regular CaleyAwayers with journalism and other media degrees (which I don't think any of the media team have, certainly not the original ones) and I remember one person on Twitter (I think it was Top Six Next Year) asking why they weren't involved if they were short of numbers. "It's my ball..." was quite an apt response.

Considering the League Cup starts so early now, I think the days of us playing weeks of friendlies like we used to are gone. In saying that, I won't at all be surprised if he get a wee scare on Saturday - Brechin might be part timers, but they'll be no mugs. I know they, like us, have players missing for Saturday and I won't be at all surprised if it's a very close game indeed.

The club have used social media has the primary place for news for years now. In fact, I went on the website the other week and it hadn't seemed to have been updated in ages - as well as the fact that it's a mess to manoeuvre around at the best of times. Strange it took them the aforementioned 27 hours after Clach had tweeted that the game was off. They usually can't get stuff on Twitter fast enough, whether it be horrendous Super Bowl 'commentary' or a tidal wave of tweets advertising hospitality.

They Came On Trial...
Jonh-Christophe Ayina - Left Newport County last year and is now at Italian side Virtus Francavilla in Serie C. Marlon Jackson - Winger and striker who was on trial with the club around the time we signed Ibra Sekajja. Later had two spells with Oxford, Tranmere and is now at Newport County. Ayodele Dare - On trial at the same time as Jackson, some may remember him being pictured in a Stoke top around that time, though there was no evidence he played for them - or where he'd been previously. It looks like his previous club was Dolphins FC in Nigeria, before he signed after his trial with us for Skonto Riga. No idea where he is now. Andrew Blake - New Zealand U20 cap who played for us last week at Brora and Nairn seems to have turned out for Hibs at Berwick the other night. I wonder, had we opted to sign him, if a transfer fee would've been involved as he seems to be still contracted to New Zealand side Eastern Suburbs FC. They play in Auckland.

I see Andrew Blake is now on trial with Hibs. Thought he looked alright but nothing overly special to be honest.

Caley Thistle tweeted the game was off 27 hours after Clach did. Absolutely shambolic.

Has the Clach postponement been confirmed by the club? Nothing on the Twitter page. Countless tweets advertising hospitality for the Falkirk game though...

Would it not just be easier to hand over your season ticket book at the turnstile and they take the voucher out? This is instead of everyone trudging over to the club shop where they in turn take the voucher out and give you yet another ticket.
