Think it was 1200 odd. 90 or so away fans.

Chap who has upland developments in Aviemore. Not the pig porking Tory.

Gen Nonsense for this pish. #loominartycumfirmed

I asked about this on Saturday and apparently it should be finished shortly and will be available in time for Christmas.

This would be my preference should Yogi leave. Hopefully he won't though.

I wouldn't ask for Laura as she doesn't work there anymore.

No really anything strange to be honest regarding pricing just trying to get the buses running at something remotely resembling 'breaking even'. Costs have increased over the past several years but the price charged has never really gone up (maybe by a pound). The new price was to make it a bit cheaper (or at least no more expensive) for families/kids. Any time I've priced up getting a bus to the town/city of the team we're playing against the CJT bus, the CJT one has been cheaper and obviously that doesn't include additional costs of getting further (bus/taxi etc) transport to the particular stadium itself. CJT do realise that people work hard to their cash and that football can be an expensive pass time, keeping it as cheap as is realistically possible is a priority. Hope that sheds some light on it if it helps.

I quite like the new programme look.

Things might be a bit more sustainable if we got more than 3000 odd coming along after an incredible season. I trust the board know best to do what's right as they know the big picture. I doubt they're out blowing the cash on strippers and Dom Perignon

I think the group are just waiting on some 'unique' T-Shirts to be made.

Applys to everyone, it's just that existing ST holders have their seats held back from sale during this time.

Armageddon.

You raise two very important issues here Deano. In the case of Rangers and Celtic fans, Inverness is no different from other communities outwith Glasgow where they also proliferate. In Inverness, I believe there are two main reasons for this. Firstly, and this is a factor which applies across Scotland, Glasgow's toxic religious and political mix has, over many years, created two opposing sectors in society down there and these two football clubs have become conspicuous features of that divide. This has given these clubs sufficient critical mass for them to act as footballing black holes which drag in additional support from areas a long way away from Glasgow. The whole of Scottish football suffers from this. The second issue in Inverness is that until just a decade or so ago, the place didn't possess a major force in football. As a result, a lot of people could have their "big" team - usually the OF but possibly Aberdeen etc as well - and also their "wee" team, in other words lower league ICT or before that Jags or Caley. These could comfortably coexist. However now that ICT is also a "big" team some fans have had to make a choice and some of these have remained with their OF preferences. Hundreds of Invernessians regularly disappear down the road to Celtic Park and Ibrox, but I do believe that, as time has passed and ICT have become more successful, this unfortunate trend has already begun to dwindle. Evidence is largely anecdotal, but I think OF support in Inverness (especially Rangers for obvious reasons) is on the wane. Regarding the second issue of lower home gates now than several years ago, this is largely part of something that is happening across Scottish football, it's not just ICT. Football attendances do go in cycles and there are probably several reasons for the current downturn. I would include silly kick off times, unavoidably high prices, lack of personal funds after the recession began and competition from a range of non-football activities. So although ICT's success has provided motivation for more to attend, it has been difficult even to stand still against these other negative factors. TL;DR version: FTOF.

I think coming 3rd netted us about 1.5Mil

He must do, I'm blocked and I've never tweeted him in my puff :D #seething

I was in the South stand and I think I was as nervous about how it would turn out as I was about the game! A huge thank you Upland Development Ltd for funding the endeavour, to Liz MacRae and her helpers who put the stickers on the card and got them down to Glasgow (no mean feat in itself), to the club for lending us the minibus, to CJT for help coordinating it, to Jen and Joanna for driving the minibus, to everyone from Inverness and the Central Belt who gave up hours of their time to help set it out on Friday and finally to everyone in the North and East stands for taking part and making it a great success. Tansey was saying last night that the boys thought it was great and I've seen nothing but positive comments about it, so mission accomplished!! What a weekend.

Don't normally get nervous but I'm starting to sh!te it.

Yes

Tickets available from the portakabin on West Road Way from 1200.

That's fine.

Sounds like a seething mess County fan on the glory hunt.:D Tbh if the staff are not 100% sure I'm not certain what else they could say.

Yes you can park at the stadium.

All 28 buses now sold out.

^^^ will be getting a stern word from the stewards :D

One further consideration is that while the marginally interested might make the effort to travel 10 - 60 miles from Paisley, Kilmarnock, Falkirk or Perth, the 175 miles from Inverness will probably be a disproportionately deterring factor. Indeed, the drive for someone from Falkirk is about the same as someone from Inverness going to Aviemore. Dingwall is further away, little more than a village and they had no trouble mustering a significant support. I'm sure we've been over this ground. No doubt if our chairman employed thousands of people and gave them free tickets...
