County in 2010 are a much bigger, wealthier, more established team than ICT were in 2000. We had just come up from Division 2 with a team and manager largely from the Highland League, rather thanthe SPL origins that form the base of County these days. County have been battling for promotion, ICT back then were happy to be steering clear of relegation.
Perhaps the question has been answered by the media coverage. County's win is the backpage headline today, whereas ours was the front page, everywhere. I note that on the BBC news last night, yesterday's result wasn't even the main sports story.
Celtic losing, and losing to lower league teams is par for the course these days, and a first division team reaching the cup final isn't a novelty any more after Gretna and Queens managed it in very recent years.
County raised eyebrows across the land, but there are no shock waves.
I agree. Sorry when I said smaller I was meaning about fan base, town, etc.
Stevie Paterson said in The Sun yesterday that our result is better but like I said in my original post, both were fantastic achievements in their own right and I don't think it really matters which was the best...until the next arguement between both our sets of fans starts. :025:
