    Fair enough I appreciate your input and that is why I started the thread as I wanted opinions from football people like yourself who were about at the time of the merger I take it your brother and his mate just stopped attending football altogether? dougal Yeh they just do Scotland games now. Fair play to them its a shame but there were always going to be casualties as a result of the merger You say you attended all the meetings, I assume you saw folk there you never ever saw at Telford St and probably have never seen since? dougal

    Ok Charles or should that be Eric http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83B3Laghlkg How exactly do you know that a great number of that 226 became regulars?That is quite frankly a ridiculous statement on your part!! If my source is correct the highest ever recorded YES vote was allegedly 250 and a large amount of these people had probably never set foot in Telford St in their entire life but no doubt you will attempt to correct me if i'm wrong I firmly believe that a generation of Caledonian fans have turned their back on ICT with maybe a handful only becoming regulars, Mantis being one of that few and I salute him for that dougal Sorry Doofers dad i'm afraid you are very wrong, I couldn't care one hoot about the stupid green dot/red dot farce I personally would like to see it binned however it probably keeps the ICT boo boys/keyboard warriors happy dougal
  4. This subject seems to rear its head now and again so i'd thought it was time to set up a poll so the subject could get put to bed once and for all Its probably more appropriate to older ICT fans but younger fans can join in as they may have fathers/relations etc who were involved with Caledonian Fc or Inverness Thistle at the time of the merger Think it safe to say that we all know that there are fans of the two parent clubs who refused to watch or support ICT in any way but just how many are/were there??? From what I can make out from this forum there are very few Caledonian or Thistle fans on here and the majority seem to be younger fans who have only supported ICT in their life time I've stated before i've experienced hostility from pre-merger fans when the topic ICT is mentioned so I know it exists in our city A few questions to maybe ponder and debate 1. I'm not an expert on the merger as I wasn't in Inverness at the time it happened but would we have a higher average attendance had Caledonian FC gone alone? 2. Buses leave Inverness for Pittodrie,Ibrox and Parkhead every weekend so did numbers dramatically increase on these coaches once both pre-merger clubs ceased to exist? 3. Do any on here personally know any refuseniks and if so are they as anti ICT now or have they mellowed as time goes by? 4.Were any posters on here in the Caley Rebel group? 5.Were and posters on here involved in any of the meetings when the voting on the merger took place and if so what were your memories and recollections? 6. Were you a pro merger or anti-merger voter? No doubt I will get slated yet again for posting this thread but this is by no means a wind up or a fishing trip, its a subject i'm genuinely interested in and to be honest i find the whole subject quite fascinating dougal

    I think there is a reason the club shy away from everything pre-1994 and that is they don't want to inflame an already delicate and touchy subject Erecting an eagle and a thistle outside the main stand would be in my opinion a detrimental move on the clubs part and would achieve nothing more than stirring up a hornets nest dougal
  6. Here's a website for you IHE, if you order today it should arrive by Sunday and it would be ideal for covering up all your offending tatoos http://www.morphsuits.co.uk/Default.asp?Redirected=Y&gclid=CLfa-5nduacCFYEc4QodcHqHAQ dougal
  7. I agree entirely with you Johnboy i'd be quite happy with that formation and line up There's no way i'd throw Gillet into this one seeing there is so much at stake and I agree i don't think Terry would either I got my ticket early(Section F in the North) as i was in a priority group(I attended the Morton and Elgin games in the previous rounds ) Roll on Sunday dougal
  8. It looks like this thread and the meeting Terry and Mo had with the players midweek had the desired effect going by yesterdays much improved performance Sometimes a little bit of reverse psychology works wonders and it certainly appears to have come up trumps on this occasion We can now go into the Septic game full of confidence after a solid display and we should have nothing to fear Well done Terry and Mo dougal
  9. I'm bitterly dissapointed not because of the result as United were the better team but it was the way we lost, I lost count how many hoof up the parks were played tonight by Tokely and Munro There was very little football played on the deck, there was no passion and to be honest very little if any entertainment Our home performances have been nothing short of an embarrassment this season and I now really have doubts about our management duo and the tactics they seem to be deploying I am in no way calling for their heads(not yet anyway) in this thread but I believe its about time they tried something new tactic wise because if they don't they are going to see dramatic reductions in attendance at the Caledonian Stadium for the remainder of the season I shudder to think where we would be if we hadn't had such a good start and picked up all the points we got on the road C'mon Terry & Mo i'm afraid what we are having to endure from November time isn't good enough dougal
  10. Ok I apologise my comments do appear to be misleading, fair play to the ticket office for introducing this and it looks like the powers are starting to take note what us the real fans say on this forum :0) dougal
  11. So I take it you are happy with ICT's home performances this season then? dougal
  12. I bet this has got Mr Fraser panicking Comedy Gold dougal
  13. A bit harsh :annoyed: This will be the final table Celtic Rangers Hearts Dundee Utd Kilmarnock Aberdeen Motherwell Hibernian St Johnstone ICT St Mirren Hamilton dougal
  14. IMO tomorrow night is the most important game ICT have played this season Anything less than three points tomorrow will virtually end our dream of a top six position, our form has been pretty poor since November and looking at the league table now isn't particulary pleasant viewing Think us the home fans have an important role to play tomorrow night by turning out in numbers and getting right behind the team from the off, i'm ditching my usual seat in the main stand and i'm going to purchase a seat in the north to help the young uns with the singing dougal
  15. Irony overload, coming from the one covered from head to toe in Cellic Tatoos dougal
  16. I've said this before and i'm going to say it again, non season ticket holders who can prove they were at the Elgin and Morton games in the previous rounds should be added to these so called priority groups Poor show by the club Well said Seoras, i'm seriously thinking of boycotting this game in protest, don't get me wrong there will be some genuine fans but they will be in the minority unfortunately dougal
  17. Great Post Sir and I agree with you in its entirety so you have been green dotted Can't help but think i'd be looking at a serious amount of red if it had been my post though, but thats not the issue All seater stadia are here to stay within top flight football in the UK and being a fan who endured outdated and dangerous grounds in the 80's and early 90's i welcome watching my football in modern safer environments and if that means sitting for the majority of the game well so be it One thing I will say though is that every time this sort of thread raises its head, IHE appears to have been ejected or in his words close to have been ejected Finally you have to remember that anyone who is employed as a steward is more than likely to be of extremely low intellect and probably more so coming from Paisley dougal
  18. So mods why the change in policy???? Take it CTO is enjoying a lot more traffic and hits since the change dougal
  19. Tuffey for me, why should he be dropped when he has played his part as much as anyone in getting us to the quarters? In fact if it wasn't for him we may well have been punted out of the cup by Elgin City, a defeat that would have been the most embarrassing result in the clubs history dougal
  20. What has this got to do with ICT???????? Can one of the mods move this to General Nonsense please dougal
  21. As predicted earlier by myself a glamour quarter final tie is guaranteed in the shape in one of the old filth Lets watch all the stay away fans suddenly re-appear as the clamber for tickets intensifies Not being a season ticket i will now have to queue with thousands of these losers who couldn't be bothered to show face against Elgin or Morton and i'm not even guaranteed a ticket at the end of the day This is an absolutely crazy situation surely the club should have announced that fans that could show that they attended the earlier rounds would be guaranteed a ticket before the public sale commenced Maybe the supporters trust or whatever they call themselves these days could bring up my complaint at their next meeting Rant over dougal
  22. 1893 was the official attendance yesterday Firstly i would like to congratulate every ICT fan including myself who attended yesterday, every single one of us deserve a round of applause It will be interesting to see the stampede for tickets if we draw a glamour tie in the quarter finals, these so called fans who will appear out of the woodwork are a disgrace in my eyes and how they sleep at night is beyond me Watching the game on TV only highlights how sparce the crowd was, in future when the crowd is that low we should wait till 2.55pm then all move en mass to the one area in the north stand(say section G & F) and main stand, that way it looks a lot less embarrassing on TV and you never know it might just create an atmosphere when everyone is huddled together I had a big night on the sauce last night so i'm still half canned but i hope the above makes sense Thoughts dougal
  23. He's probably on his way to Castle Greyskull with his fellow Septics Anyway Happy Birthday IHE :biggrin: dougal
  24. It appears that everyone can now read all the posts without having to login or register Fair play to the Mods for reacting so quickly to my thread and enhancing the ICT brand to a world wide audience dougal
