...and "let's eat grandma" and "let's eat, grandma"

Just read on the BBC that if Russia beat Slovakia then Wales are guaranteed to progress from the group stage = more £££s thanks to OFW's involvement. I think it was £3-4k per day so could end up being an extra dozen or two grand depending how they do!

Looks like I'll definitely make the Fraserburgh game. Will investigate train for Nairn and bus for Buckie games. School holidays ftw!

I made the same suggestion last year, but it would be worthwhile using social networking to further advertise this... a quick look at the CaleyThistleOnline & Caley Jags Together reach suggests 1,300+ & 600+ Facebook followers and 700+ & 500 Twitter followers. Twenty odd payments from that reach should be attainable.

Any further update on fixtures? Competitive football starts again in 4-5 weeks...

Potentially a 3 year deal according to a P&J article just posted

That's me paid in now

A Terry Butcher signing last summer as well... so it's likely we might have been made aware of him by the scouting/agent network used pre-Yogi. Interesting to see that former ICT trialist John-Christophe Ayina was released by Newport this season as well...

Both of those players have been released by Wigan last week

Excellent, I should manage that one.

Any word on where the team are playing in the summer? With the League Cup fixtures taking place between July 16 and 30, I'd imagine there'll be a few games between the end of June and the opening LC game.

Looks like we won 3-1. I saw a picture of gameplay posted by a Rangers fan, where I could only make out Jordan Roberts (remember him!?). Hopefully someone has details on goalscorers and lineup...

Dean Brill also got another 90 mins under his belt. He's played quite a few U20s games now with most of them being clean sheets.

I'm sure the club get money from FIFA/UEFA for each day that a player is at the Euros... as Niculae netted us a five figure sum when he was in Austria/Switzerland 2008. If Wales were to get through the group stages, then that could pay for a few months of Fon Williams wage*! *If we signed him for further season(s).

Two ICT u20 players are going out on loan to Fort William apparently, thanks to Duncan Shearer wanting to help out his old club. Not sure who they are though. Rumours that Ali Sutherland is going to go on loan at Elgin City as well.

County's Haggis pies are incredible

The figure I remember being quoted several years ago was £75,000 to each team. No idea if that's still the case. No extra TV cash for the televised league games though, as that is pooled between all the teams equally.

I was hopeful that there would be an agreement in place for us to loan a player if they took Christie back in January. GMS or C.MacGregor would've been my realistic preference at that time, but Stokes would be a fair coup! Even the likes of that 'Wonderkid' Aidan Nesbitt on loan would be a better option in the attacking positions than Lopez and Sho-Silva.

Reported on Twitter that we've taken Alex Fisher (a striker) on trial. Played in yesterday's Development game apparently...

Brewdog were in contact with me to ask if folk were interested in heading there... and they might do something. I held off getting something arranged as numbers would be too difficult to confirm. I'll get back in touch and see if they are willing to put on food or discounted drinks...

Dani Lopez just tweeted 'Return to Spain ever closer' Yas!

That's incorrect. It's the referee that decides... the 4th official merely indicates to everyone the referee's decision - http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/afdeveloping/refereeing/law_7_the_duration_of_the_match_en_47401.pdf

It'll be pay at the gate in the away end. Has been in each of the last few seasons.

An excellent initiative. I've bought my train tickets on the back of the announcement, so fingers crossed the weather/travel isn't too bad. As a side note I really hope the Scottish Cup is on display in the stadium bar before the game, as I'm one of the few that don't have a picture holding it* yet! *I have a picture sitting next to it at the Sponsors night just before the final, but didn't touch it then because of superstition...

Goals here - Yaaaaaaaaasssssss
