Going to the likes of Bristol and Aldershot was great fun for the fans. I‘d love another tour somewhere. However it is very pricey for the club and with funds so limited, unfortunately it may not happen again this season. As IHE alluded to, the team bonding aspect of a trip is not as important this year as most of them already know each other. I agree with King Beastie. It‘s impossible to tell if we would have had a better start if we had tougher pre season competition. However we drew our first three games and matched Midden, Killie and Hearts so weren‘t exactly under prepared.

Rumours that the deal is in doubt due to disagreements about the contract length. (Source, a Manchester rag). Rumours that Sevco 5088 Franchise have now made an approach. (Source, unreliable twitter chat).

Brora Rangers ‏@brorarangers Pre season friendly confirmed v Inverness Caley Thistle, Tues 16th July, at 7.30pm, Dudgeon Park

I was worried he was away! Three years.... superb!!!

But it will go very well with your Jaggy shoes.

I can exclusively reveal the new away strip. I can't see this causing any issues at all.

Four stars? I‘d only give him 3 ;)

All due respect Kingsmills, I know of atleast 10 people who were ex-Thistle fans who now follow C*unty, and there's plenty more who I don't know. One of them told me that "the idea of the merger wasn't a problem, it was the fact the new team would play in blue". So instead he went to County who play in NAVY BLUE! TIT!! How do you know there's plenty more if you don't know them?

Some folk are reading too much into Terrys comments. As others have stated, it was a tongue in cheek comment, I hear football managers all the time making sarcastic comments about the board. Terry and all the guys at Caley Thistle were desperate to finish 3rd. Ok, it didn't work out, but I doubt any person at Caley Thistle (Chairman / board included) are happy about losing the game. It was a tongue in cheek comment and we shouldn't be worrying about it at all. I am disappointed we lost the game, and disappointed we missed out on Europe on the last day. However, I am delighted with the season in general and the 4th placed finish is still an incredible achievement.

James succesfully completed his walk today and was in great spirits when we met him pre match. Well done Sir!

Thank you! Thanks for the great reception we got on the pitch pre match as well. Was absolutely buzzing!

I thought we improved in the second half but overall County probably deserved the win. Doran put in a great shift as did Raven. Dissapointed but still happy with the season in general. We fell short at the last hurdle but thank you Terry, the rest of the management team and all the players for our best ever season! Roll on the next one!!! I must say thank you to County for allowing the Highland Marchers on to the pitch. We were in the Jail End pre match. Surreal experience but great banter. Thanks to the County fans who made us welcome and the great reception we got from the ICT fans. I cannot wait for the next Highland Derby. The greatest derby in Scotland!

Aye. In Dingwall now! :) Time for a song ;)

At Achanalt now. Going to stop for the day. 23 miles from Dingwall. Nearly there!

Thanks guys. Don‘t worry Archduke, we‘ve taken your nasty medicine advice very seriously ;) Currently having lunch at Achnasheen. Only 29 miles to Dingwall! Will do another 6 today, 18 tomorrow to Strathpeffer and then a short 5 miler on Sunday morning.

We are well on the way now. Stopped just after Achnashellach.

You forgot to mention you lost the Skye Bridge Race earlier. ;)

That‘s us at Stromeferry now.

Another 22 miles from the Marchers today. At Kintail now. 62 miles in total so far. All off road today through snow, sleet, rain and hail.

Finished at the start of Loch Affric today. 40 miles done since the game yesterday. Onwards.

There‘s a fackeeeen WUM in this caravan!

Thanks Steve! We will keep everyone updated on the weeks walk!
