  1. 1 hour ago, TopSix said:

    The population of the Highlands in 2011 was 232000 though.  Granted, the wee team have some support, but we have supporters who travel from Skye,  etc. 

    TopSix, there are fans that travel from Skye and even Lewis and the Western isles but unfortunately these have long been Rangers strongholds and to a lesser degree Celtic and Aberdeen - similar in Wester-Ross though with some more C*unty fans.  Sadly this has been the case for generations and is a tough situation to break down! If we continue as we are with a cup win/run here and there and continue to finish top 6, it'll  hopefully help turn some of these fans away from the old firm etc but it'll take time to break down the generational traditions in places like Lewis/Skye.

  2. The Snaffle is always a good shout and often frequented by ICT fans when our games are broadcast on the TV.  Apart from that, it probably has the best pint of Tennants in Glasgow!

    The Park bar is fine but it gets too mobbed at weekends and the park brand of Accordion and Fiddle club music gets hellish old after a while!

  3. Some years ago I saw Celtic away at Burnley in An Anglo Scottish cup match. I witnessed massive drinking before the match to , I saw one Celtic fan trying to examine the huge genitals of a stallion police horse. I mention this just to elaborate how drunk they were. Chants of "we are the popes army", and other pointless remarks abounded around Turf Moor long before the game started. Burnley were not totally lily white , as they retorted with chants of "Rangers". .

    The riot was quite exceptional as the link below elaborates.

    I couldn't get the link to work but if you copy it into your browser there's a chance it will

    The railings mentioned were iron and some where thrown like javelins

    I was reminded of the riot at Wembley when Scottish fans rioted and wrecked the goalposts amongst other things.

    That day before the game my wife caught a train at Preston and travelled in a coach full of Scottish supporters from Glasgow, she told me they behaved towards her with perfect manners, but they drank cans of beer the whole way down to London. I think she was rather worried, and glad to get there safe and sound.

    Don't get me wrong I am not picking on Scottish fans I have seen Liverpool and Preston fans behaving just has badly. I think it is something to do with living close to dockyards.#

    Not cans of beer?! The whole way?!! Terrible behaviour.
