Interesting chart on attendances
Here's one on ticket prices - Look at the average attendance at a match in Chile and then look at the ticket prices. Presumably these clubs must break even somehow and surely the Primera Division is a higher standard than the Scottish Premiership.

How much should we really be paying?
So you can do better than £15 return then.

I'd like to see us set-up with the 4-4-2 diamond shape that we used against Accies. Brill Raven Warren Meekings Shinnie Tansey Ross----------Christie Vincent Watkins Mckay Subs - Esson, Devine, Tremarco, Williams, Sekajja, Doran, Polworth

Aren't Ross County's Supporter's Buses only £10 return?

How much should we really be paying?
Regular games should be about £15 I would say. People can talk about the style of football and all that stuff, but the fact of the matter is, for the standard of football that we actually see, anything more than £15 to sit anywhere in the stadium is a rip-off. There's maybe a case for raising it to £18 for cup finals/derbies/important matches, but I think that's as far as it goes. Pricing is simply out of control and it's even worse down south and the current prices here still aren't exactly enticing to casual fans. We need to get these people into a loop and a routine of being regular attenders or in the long run, we could well lose them and their offspring forever.

Development League info. (2014/15)
I see tomorrow's game is at "home" to Dundee United at Borough Briggs. That's a bit of a treck eh? Surely we could use Grant Street or Inverness City's ground instead of having the game all the way out there. Can't see many making the trip to be honest.

Ex ICT Players Score
I remember thinking in the pre-season games that Oswell looked quite good. I know he's had a bit of a nomadic career after leaving, but I'm surprised he's playing at as low a level as the Welsh Premier. That'd probably be about Highland League level.

Scottish Cup 29th November 2014
Be doing well to get half that IMO.

Richie Foran
Foran seemed to be quite involved with the reserve team last week along with Duncan Shearer. Put your house on him being the next manager. Wonder what that'd mean for Yogi though? Would we just not renew his contract or unless we made him Director of Football or something?

Team for Accies
Is a 4-3-3 with three striker something that could be looked at, to have right go at Accies, essentially trying to overpower them? Something like this - Brill Raven Warren Meekings Tremarco Draper Tansey Shinnie Sekajja Mckay Watkins Subs - Esson, Devine, Ross, Doran, Vincent, Christie, Williams
-
Why Hughes should STAY!
I'm led to believe this is a fairly regular thing and he did it before when he was at Falkirk. Never witnessed it myself though as I don't sit in the Main Stand, mainly due to the fact I'm not a multi-millionaire!

Scottish Cup 2014/15 - Fourth Round (last 32)
Aye, Spartans could be a real banana skin!

Stuart McCall quits Motherwell
Expect a surprise appointment. Craig Brown, Jim Gannon and McCall were quite left-field appointments at the time.
-
Development League info. (2014/15)
I take it that's what's normally called "Jubilee Park" and not actually inside the academy? By the way, is it not a bit weird that County use Grant Street, while we use a pitch behind County's ground? Could we not use Inverness City's ground or somewhere?
-
Development League info. (2014/15)
I see the next game (Tuesday at "home" to St Johnstone) is down on the SPFL website as being played at the Highland Academy. Where is that? The pitch behind Victoria Park?
-
Team for Accies
Draper's out for this one remember. I'd go with something akin to what we did after Mckay and Christie came on yesterday - Brill Raven Warren Meekings Tremarco Tansey Vincent---------Shinnie Christie Mckay Watkins Subs - Esson, Ross, Devine, Sekajja, Doran, Polworth, Williams

Scottish Cup draw seeded?
No thanks. Seen enough of those neds for one year.

Scottish Cup draw seeded?
I went to Meadowbank last season prior to our semi-final to calm my nerves watching Edinburgh City play Gala Fairydean Rovers. The amount of stoppages there was while players chased lost balls over the running track was nuts! Also, in the second half, the Gala manager watched the match from the sport centre cafe. Very strange!
-
Scottish Cup draw seeded?
I have a bizarre desire to see us get Edinburgh City away at Meadowbank (providing they get past Brora of course). It would just be the most bizarre away trip ever. (And the scariest! That stand's like Ben Nevis!)

Ex-ICT players' news
Possibly not all were signed. He might have "brought them up" for trials and transfer talks which never came to anything. I see that Kyle Whyte has now gone on loan to junior side Nairn Saint Ninian. I seem to recollect some people saying that they thought he'd make the grade with us.
-
Why Hughes should STAY!
Is that an opinion or a statement? Granted, Hughes has shown at times that he is capable of mixing it up somewhat, but at times this all-out passing to death, isn't attractive at all - it's mind-numbingly boring. Attractive at times? Yes. But the most attractive ever? Well, considering Steve Paterson's team was once labeled the "most entertaining team in Britain", I have to disagree.
-
Singing Section
Yeah it was. There's been calls umpteen times for a distinct "singing section" but it's never worked.
-
Why Hughes should STAY!
As others have said, credit where it is due. I always felt he'd be a better manager with a pre-season behind him and there are certainly aspects to his managerial style that are better than Butcher (who I always thought was rather overrated and not the untouchable genius some people made him out to be). He seems to be a bit more tactically flexible and seems to have more plans about certain scenarios and things like that. The players also seem far fitter under him. I do wish though that he wouldn't be so conservative for some matches and believed in his players' ability a bit more. The cup final and the Rangers games were classic examples of this. Taking the game to two teams who were no great shakes, could have seen a very different outcome. We don't ever need to "take the sting out of the game" in some matches, we need to grab hold of the game and inflict our style of play onto people in every game. Bar none.

Inverness CT v Dundee Utd
You could always take Williams out and put Christie wide left. He played there in the second half against County and I actually thought he looked better there than he does in the centre. As you say, Williams was reasonable yesterday but I think Christie would offer a bit more going forward. What's happened with Doran by the way? Usually one of the first names on the teamsheet, throws a minor tantrum coming off against County and hasn't played since. Wonder if there's been a fallout there.

Cellic Away
Seemingly, the Celtic defence struggle against two strikers. With that in mind - Brill Raven Devine Warren Meekings Shinnie Vincent Draper Tansey Watkins Mckay Subs - Esson, Sekajja, Tremarco, Christie, Ross, Williams, Doran Contrary to what I've said earlier, I'd like to see how Mckay would get on as a front-two, with Raven and Shinnie bombing forward.
