RossP

I've just PM'd you! Thanks Davie, I've just responded to your email from my work email account (since my mobile's signal is limited and my messager above is blocked by the school computers). Ross

Any further info/instruction yet?

*ahem*

That game was my first thought after Foran put us 2 up!

I'd be tempted to go with the above ^^ but have McKay swapped for Morrison; who'd join Draper in CM. Maybe also have Cooper come in for Raven. In an ideal world we could blood some of the fringe players, but with the last cup run distant in the memory we have to go with our strongest team.

Ross - phoned ya. I'm just in from footie, sorry I couldn't get you sooner. You are on the list of interested players, fear not. we are up to 10 on definitely interested parties now, so anyone else GET IN THERE NOW! This is going to be a great day for those involved. For the avoidance of doubt, I'm off to loopalu tomorrow, so you won't get a reply on mail or calls until monday, after a prologed gin/ dad dancing/ embarrasing the family fest. Thanks for getting back to me, sorry I couldn't answer; I was in the middle of a pub quiz where mobile phone use is frowned upon! Give me a ring tomorrow anytime if you've recovered from Loopalu and I'll sort out my payment if required. Ta

I've left my details with the email and phone numbers, but no response as yet. I'm assuming they are getting a list of everyone who is interested first...?

Excellent to see this take shape. I've sent an email to notify of my interest (since I'm in meetings till 3pm today). The Football aid game at Hampden last year that I played in was superb and has given me a life-long memory of scoring the winner at Hampden (assist by Scott Booth) - http://youtu.be/qNbQh95wKa0?t=4m38s

We've gone for a pretty full strength team by all accounts; with Meekings and OTJ coming in for Raven and Ross I think

I see the Arbroath no.1 broke his arm, so it'll be Tony Bullock starting on Wednesday...

Just noticed this; cheers for the heads up. I'll phone tomorrow to see if I can buy a ticket and collect it at Tynecastle. I take it there's a gate or ticket office I go to at the away end?

What was the score? Lineup?

Ach, why not; travel booked. Tynecastle is the only SPL ground I've not been to yet. A chance for an Illegal Jacks burrito as well :) What's the story with getting away end tickets?

YAS! I put £5 on Shinnie as first goalscorer as well at 10-1 :love02: Happy to hear Harkins is off already as well as he is a huge player for Killie.

Is there live commentary on MFR2? Or will they be broadcasting the Dons v County game?

Ditto.

If the club are doing the free tickets for primary schools scheme again, I think it'd be a good addition to the magazine. Wee snippet interviews with the kids and teachers I imagine would boost sales from eager relatives keen to see their offspring in print. Perhaps a section on 'ICT tops around the world'? Where fans submit pictures of them wearing their tops at famous and random world landmarks. e.g. I've got one of me on top of North Africa's highest mountain wearing last season's top - where strangely on the way down I bumped into someone from Inverness...

Of course! I'd forgotten about those personnel. Brilliant

Chuffed to bits - as it's close to Aberdeen and it's a stadium I've not been to before. Tuesday 28th or Wednesday 29th August.

^what he said^

Here's a piece I did for STV on our upcoming season... http://sport.stv.tv/blog/113420-spl-previews-inverness-aim-to-rule-the-highlands-after-another-rebuild/

Mackie leaves... Dons season ticket sales increase. Coincidence?

Line-up? Scorers?

One of the advertising techniques I've always wondered about is whether the club advertised itself (or matches) in the hostels of Inverness. I've always made a point in visiting random stadiums when on holiday and have enjoyed seeing the likes of FC Jurmala (Latvia), AIK (Sweden), Yokohama Marinos (Japan), FC Skeid (Norway) and have ended up coming away with various tops, scarves, badges etc. When staying in Berlin, the hostel made a point of advertising Hertha's home games and they said at least a dozen or so guests went each time. I'd like to think at least a poster is up in each local hostel making their guests aware of the club/website/fixtures?
