Must be mad! Will be going to the game but fingers crossed and hope NOT for extra time or penalties as got to work the next day. Home at 0200 or so, all traffic (penalties) etc ok, up again by 05.45 and then an 8 hour shift. That's devotion to ICT - hope they appreciate it!?

Why has this topic been moved from amongst the "stickies". Is it not considered important to try to encourage fans to travel to this Cup game? Please, whoever moved it, put it back at the top, where it should remain until the game is played.

I remember the Stewarts Restaurant, not for being in it, but for waiting to get into the Playhouse Cinema on a Wednesday afternoon (after juping from school, which we did every Wednesday in 4th year). We had to hide until the teachers came out from Stewarts Restaurant, where they had their lunch, and only then could we go into the Playhouse for the 1/9d seats! (the back row of the front stalls). I remember the Carlton Restaurant vaguely - was taken there on special occasions like birthdays, for a treat. (obviously before being a 4th year jupe). Was much too young to know about drinking in the Heathmount until much later on!!!

After all these years, and the success of ICT, I think some of the comments are quite sad. I know of Thistle supporters who have vowed never to go to an ICT game ever - how to cut off your nose to spite your face (as my granny used to say!). They are the losers, poor souls (how to hold a grudge for ever and a day - men!!) I was brought up a Caley supporter but, eventually, agreed with the merger and join in with singing "oh to be a Jaggie" when the occasion arises (ie when ex Thistle fans get pxxxxed off with shouts of come on Caley)(give us a C, etc). Come to think of it, haven't heard that for a while. Surely the time must come when Invernessians support their local SPL team, not join the masses in supporting the OF (why? - what allegiance do most of you have with them, if any?). If most of us can try to forget the "them and us" scenario in ICT, then why continue with a grudge. I

You lot are all SO young! I am still young enough to not qualify for concession at Hearts games (and several other meanies of SPL teams who demand concessions for over 65s only) but I can remember as a primary school child being taken for the day out into town and going to a Meal Store in Eastgate! Bags of flour etc., even dog biscuits, for sale in cloth sacks. Who remembers that? Or am I havering?

Hello Marko Welcome to the Highlands. My nephew is a Leeds fan - used to be a season ticket holder there and still attends games as often as he can afford (despite staying in Nottingham!). I always look out for the Leeds results just as he does with ICT (his second love). Hope you bring us luck and - I have already texted my nephew to say that Leeds cannot get our Don Cowie - he is not going anywhere (we hope).

My computer was "out of action" for a few weeks and when I eventually got it sorted I found I could not log into the site. My user name kept being thrown out and telling me someone else already had that name - YES it was ME! I have given up and logged in under another user name but, its a pain as umpteen folk knew me by the first user name. Does this mean that my first user name just dies!
