I know the pics could be deceiving but they look smaller than I anticipated

Thought the plan was to get one huge surfer flag?

Anyway I really like the one on the left not keen on the other one though a bit cringeworthy

7000 is 7000 and everyone who has bought a ticket should be proud but for a cup final it's pretty disappointing if we are all being honest

Remember County took 17k to their cup final which is more than double what we are taking

I honestly thought we could have mustered 10k but unless there is some late activity this sadly does not look like being achievable

When you consider the amount of incomers that bolster that 7k you do wonder how many actual Invernessians will be in attendance

Anyway it is what it is and 7k will still add to what should be a wonderful day and atmosphere and one I'm looking forward to greatly

Bring it on

I would rather live my life as if there was a God and die to find out that there isn't ,than live as if there isn't and to die to find that there is.

Dougal

Ok away supports do look like they have dropped but that's possibly because some fans are probably choosing County over us due to our stadium location and poorer match day experience

I agree due to cost trips up north are getting more expensive so some will have to make a choice

Dougal

Definitely seems to be a breakdown in communication between the club/caleyjagsforever regarding ticket sales and the fans

Aberdeen seem to have managed to keep their fans informed how ticket sales have gone whereas we get silence

I've got my ticket early doors but it would have been nice to know how ticket sales have been going

Dougal

Think we are all getting pretty desperate if we are looking at this as an excuse why our ticket sales have been so poor

As it stands at the moment we are in danger of taking the lowest ever support to a national cup final and blaming that on the church is quite ludicrous

Dougal

ICT do not ‘need‘ County in the same league.

Think you will find they do, it's maybe passed you unnoticed that our average home attendance is dropping each year and it's only games against the likes of County and Celtic that we now see decent turn outs

In this financial climate and the state the Scottish game is in ICT need as much help as they can get because present home crowds can't sustain a top flight club forever

Dougal

What design did you choose ?

Fair point I find it a bit odd that folk are expected to fork out money without knowing what design has been given the green light

Dougal

Any idea how many we've sold so far?

Hearing Aberdeen have sold their initial allocation of 37k which is quite remarkable, can see the piggery being turned into a sea of red as they appear to be asking for more tickets

Don't want to be too negative but can't help but think with backing like that they will start on the front foot

Dougal

Looks like we've got a Val Doonican wannabe amongst us

Dougal

I hope they go down tbh. Then MacGregor walks away and they go into administration. Nobody deserves to lose the team they support. So I then hope they are liquidated, form a Newco County, start back in the Highland League and slog it out with the likes of Strathspey Jags and Fort Bill to avoid the bottom placed spot every year. Hello down there ;)

Hypocrisy at its best you claim nobody deserves to lose their team but the formation of ICT created that very scenario, think you should maybe start thinking before you post

Whether you like it or not ICT need County in the same league and County need ICT it would be financially detrimental to both clubs should County be relegated

Any set of fans would want their derby each season only a half wit would think differently

Dougal

L-G......singing section smack bang in the middle behind the goal please! Muchos grazias ;) x

It's a Cup Final ffs there is no need for a singing section the whole ICT end should be singing

Dougal

Considering CJT are the fans and are likely to stump up the shortfall as well as subsidise the buses I see no reason why they shouldn't have their logo. I also know that CJT have been looking into getting a flag long before this current idea came to fruition.

 

As for the Thistle badge........Its a perfect perch for that dumb eagle

Fair enough Alex but then would still be missing the blood sucking leach

Dougal

Tell me Ma, me Ma - to put the champagne on ice - we're going to Parkhead twice - tell me Ma, me Ma.

Well it's certainly better than yer alleged Irish folk song you and all your mates have been downloading in the last few weeks to get it in the charts

12:30 again on a sunday and again because of the rugby.  Do these people in Glasgow never learn? Someone needs a serious word with them, and I've got every sympathy with united fans. Edited to add it's even worse than our fiasco because its an England game they have scheduled for 3pm!

Lol we all know why you sympathise with them, if we are being honest early kick offs and as a result travelling issues affects the majority of top teams in this country due to live TV

No one team is being singled out although it might feel like that sometimes

Dougal

I don't entertain this lack of buses rubbish, if the demand is there buses from all around Scotland can be called on if needed

Any smaller club that reaches a final would have to go to more than one bus company and would have to look a lot further than their local outfit

Funny how Inverness Reds have managed to source a number of buses going by their website

Dougal

Common sense at last, now every ICT will now have an unrestricted view of the game unlike a minority of Dons fans

Dougal

Why include the CJT and CTO logo's? They are not football clubs! The red and blue background with the ICT badge looks just fine without any other blurb.

Well said, the only way Caleyjagsforever should have their logo emblazoned on the flag is if it had been their idea and they were paying for it themselves

The sight of the thistle badge is offensive enough alone without any extra add ons

Dougal

Surprised but delighted the appeal was successful normally it's only the old firm who win these appeals in my opinion

Huge boost for the final

Dougal

Calling Dougal - Caley winning their first major cup final at Paradise - IHE celebrating in the Jungle - Is that feckin destiny or wot ?

Aye you can go short sleeved to the final in fact you will be able to frequent all yer old boozers on the gallowgate in a safe and friendly environment

Dougal

From memory is it not a bit ironic CC having a go at the current following being so poor yet twenty years ago he was telling everyone how good a support ICT were going to have

Dougal

Can't see the Derry Rhumba boys being happy ditching Bomber with a ex Celtic man somehow

Dougal

Hopefully they keep ICTChris off these trains.

Why? Is he known to the BTP as well!!!

It would be great if there was a football special going to the final, going back many years football specials were common and were my favourite mode of transport and it added to a great day out

Sadly these days though they would probably be dry trains due to the minority of bams who spoil it for everyone

Dougal

A card display would look good at the Final, it looks very impressive when done right and adds that little bit to the occasion

Dougal

Surely a bit more detail on the type/design of flag is required before folk can decide whether to donate or not!!

12th man I'm not for one minute indicating you would purchase a massive Union Jack with ICT on it but a section of our support seem to let's say favour it to other designs
