  1. Time to move S94 back into the NS and abandon the idea of covering the WS. The club don't want that to happen anyway, given the obstacles they keep bringing up.
  2. A bad start to my evening on Tuesday when we discovered 2 mins before kick off that the club had sold tickets for the same seats we purchased to the Main Stand ST holders who normally sit there prior to the original date for the tie! Luckily there were enough spare seats elsewhere that were sheltered from the swirling rain.
  3. SFA panel to meet on Friday to consider action against Queens Park. Euan Henderson was not registered before the original date of the tie so should not have played on Tuesday night. Knowing our luck the SFA might just fine them and let them through - the Central Belt Mafia might see to that.
  4. Samuels, Allardice and Harper were all due to be on the bench for the QP cup game. Shane is also close to returning. I think Oakley was only signed to cover Shane's absence.
  5. The match day experience for the majority of us not fortunate to even be offered or afford hospitality has been pretty grim for years. This is not appealing to many and they have rightly given priority to other things like shopping or just staying at home. Yesterday the atmosphere was dire and almost lifeless. The Centenary Club also used to offer much better prizes and events than it does now. The Christmas draw is a huge disappointment and whatever happened to the kids cinema events and parties? I think these had stopped long before Covid. On the playing front if we don't start winning soon we can forget the promotion play offs and try to avoid being sucked into the relegation ones. Personally, I don't think our highly paid CEO, Sporting Director or Head Coach give me the impression or confidence that they will get the club out of the current spiral of decline.
  6. Desperately sorry for Robbie Deas. He has been one of our best players in the last two years and got my MotM vote for the Raith game. I think we might have to recall a few of our players from loans to other clubs to help cover for others. Lewis Nicholson (?), for example, has showed up well at left back on a few occasions.
  7. That's what we had at a bowling tournament in Elgin yesterday. The sport's governing body left it to regional associations' and clubs' discretion to take action as they felt appropriate. Club flags flew at half mast too.
  8. A rugby game is still going ahead - now Glasgow Warriors v semi pro side Ayrshire Bulls. Ticket refunds available up until 2pm on Friday. Not sure what the deal is for ICTFC though. It was Scottish Rugby that the tickets were booked through. I also imagine that Highland Rugby Club are due to benefit in some way as the match was/is part of their Centenary celebrations.
  9. Given our injury list I was surprised that he has been allowed to go out on loan. He was one of only four outfield players on the bench v Cove, so a more depleted bench for Friday v Partick. I also think he is better defensively than Cammy Harper.
  10. As I've been saying at the start of every season since David Raven left, time to sign a right back.
  11. Yes, Clach were out of sorts for most of the game, but perhaps more due to the gulf in fitness and skill on our part. I thought all our young players did very well including the new signings. Lewis Nicholson put in a great shift at left back and with his support play in the second half. I think he's a better option than Cammy Harper, so please don't send him out on loan again Mr Dodds. No sign of Max Ram though. Hopefully he'll get a game against Brora.
  12. Thanks for your comments. Sorry I couldn't reply as I was locked out of my CTO account yesterday and wasn't able to restore it until tonight. Hoping some of you objected too. The Club Chairman knows about the points made in my objections. Let's just say its situation is somewhat sensitive just now and has not lodged its own objections. Its desired outcome is for the stadium to continue functioning with the existing dedicated parking. The Proposed Local Development Plan view is not helpful though.
  13. The Highland Council's latest version of its new Inner Moray Firth Local Development Plan identifies the dedicated stadium car parks for office, business and industrial development (refs INC07 and INC08). This could undermine the very function and future of the stadium. Without providing these parking areas the stadium would never have got planning permission in the first place. So it beggars belief why the Council support the redevelopment being promoted by lease holders Tulloch Homes. For those interested and/or aggrieved the deadline for objections to this Plan is tomorrow 17 June at 12 noon. The way the Council prefers this to be done is through a very complex consultation portal (link Keystone (highland.gov.uk), which is actually not working just now. As an alternative, you can email objections to imfldp@highland.gov.uk. I have just emailed mine and attach a copy if anyone is like-minded. Please note that these views are entirely my own as an ICTFC supporter and season ticket holder and not those of my employer. IMFLDP 2 PP objection to INC07&08 V2.docx
  14. I think I've won three times in the daily/weekly draws since I joined in 1994. My second was £500 in 2015 just after our Europa League opponents were announced. That paid for our return flights from Aberdeen to Bucharest. My most recent win was just last week with £50, which I was grateful for, but it will get me about half a tank of petrol at today's prices. I don't know if anyone has ever won the Lottery part of the draw usually around £5k. I'll still keep paying every month though to help the club out.
  15. Home car park fully available at long last, just in time for our last league game.
  16. Mid table and no play offs again for us. Partick are no great shakes and were there for the taking.
  17. I know I'm straying off topic, but what is the story about that site? The Council seems hell-bent on encouraging redevelopment of the car parks at the current stadium for business and industrial uses through its new Local Development Plan, presumably for the Common Good of the citizens of Inverness. This will undermine the function and the future of the stadium and leave the club looking for a new home. It would make sense to have it near the IRA all weather training pitches but still without a decent bus service and accessibility. There is another site on the now abandoned holes of the old Torvean golf course. That area is adjacent to the Football Academy pitches at Charleston and has in the past been earmarked for phase 2 of the sports pitch development in relation to the West Link.
  18. Last chance saloon to stay in the hunt for a play off place never mind the title in my view. If we slump again on Wednesday I won't be giving priority to attending home games between then and the end of the season.
  19. Says it all. I can't see us winning another game this season at this rate. I lasted until 4:15pm and then headed home for the rugby.
  20. It's the water-logging I'm more concerned about. Huge amount of very wet snow fell in the city today. More forecast tomorrow.
