If 5,000+ Caledonian fans existed then more than a couple of hundred would have turned out to stop them being voted to death.
Anybody who disagrees is living on another planet. You cannot silence, block or deny thousands of people from putting themselves in a position to vote. Does a single piece of footage exist of the rebels numbering more than one bus load?
The majority of football fans in Inverness at the time would have traveled in numbers to see any of the three Highland League sides in what was pretty much a cup final. As a kid I was taken to Scottish Cup games for all 3 sides and we were seeing the same faces at all of them.
If we sell 12,000 or so tickets for this final in Glasgow incoming, it would be naive to think that 12,000 of the people buying those tickets are ICT supporters.
