I was wondering the same thing. Can't say I miss the drums though !

Fact is we can't afford full time football outwith the SPL.

The suggestion is thst he is still likely to sign for Bournmouthin the summer.

Russell has been a bit of an unsung hero for years.

Probably the most sensible attitude.

Not the Jailender classic of our last promotion season but I thought this thread was nevertheless worth bumping to the top !

Not until last Saturday if truth be told.

More than half the starting eleven changed from last season. The biggest change in our personel since Pele took the reins in division three. It was a gamble which now looks as though it may very well pay off.

I agree Heiandee. I'd much rather we'd hit the front on the final day. The pressure's allm on ICT now.

Three points on Tuesday will knock the stuffing out of County, especially with their semi final coming up, leaving a straight fight between ourselves and Dundee.

Couldn't have asked for a better set of results today. Now is the time to hold our nerve. I just hope we haven't hit the front too soon.

Don't speak too soon this season, like last, could still end in final day heartbreak.

I'm begining to think that it may just be possible to reel in Dundee's seemingly unassailable lead !

and another 2 posts added to your total !

The SPL sensibly relaxed their rules for us to allow us to move back to Inverness mid season. I can't think of any good reason why they shouldn't allow ounty a bit of lattitude to make their ground compliant over the summer should they be fortunate enough to win the league.

Think that ?300,000 will be pretty close to the mark.

Even if your figures were accurate ( which I doubt ) then say 15 000 at Utd semi plus 35 000 at County semi @ ?25 a ticket = ?1 250 000 in gate receipts to be split 4 ways = ?312 500 each , add in the Sky money and prize money then your getting close to ?500k . Obviously all the figures are hypothetical at the moment. Is it not the case all gate reciepts, TV monies, merchandise etc are all pooled. But the figures what ever they are, will be split 5 ways. SFA will need to get their cut, further reducing any income. So using your logic the SFA will get 1/3 of the finals gate receipts as well ? No, I believe the figure remains 20%

Gross perhaps but there are very significant expenses to be deducted including the SFA share of income.

Just how do you construct your criticism ?

Depends on the attitude of their billionaire backer.

Closer to half of that I suspect. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...nty/8586015.stm Don't believe everything you hear on the BBC !

County for the final then. Lennon hardly has a distinguished record against Highland clubs in this competition !

Just been announced that Celtic anf Tony Mowbray have gone theie separate ways. Neil Lennon anyone ?

Closer to half of that I suspect.

Although it's now all they have to play for.
