Saturdays goal against the bitters was for me the best. Just the way we did it. they had won, they were through to the draw. The whistle should have went at the restart but thanks to vigurs and brittains gloating celebrations we get a chance, then a corner then with absolutly last kick, a goal. To do that at your rivals home place while theyre singing cheerio at you is the best feeling in the world. It felt like a win! Rankins humdinger against oldco comes in a close second!

Regards to standing, on saturday there must have been about 300 people squeezed into 150 spaces and not once did i feel in 'danger'. The only thing that i felt was a danger was the seats in front (whenever we scored i was always bashing my shins off the seats). It was like being in an old 1980s terrace, all squashed in, jumping about and swaying. IT WAS FECKING BRILLIANT! I dont understand why the scottish prem was made to have seats compulsory when you think of the low attendances compared to England where all seated stadia is really needed to control 30,000 or so people. And how are the SPL going to manage this new idea? Will SPL2 clubs such as cowdenbeath need 6000 seated seats? That would be ridiculous!! Like someone said above it should be up to the clubs how much seats and standing they want, although i would say that there should be the option of seats and standing in both home and away sections! There was nothing wrong with CS pre-2005. We hosted aberdeen, celtic, rangers and plenty other big crowds with no problems! Oh how i would give anything to be back in the bridge end enclosure :D ahhhh the nostalgia

Oh dear. He's turned bitter like the rest of them....

We should make a giant cardboard lid to put on top of the shoebox, then it'll be complete

Ridiculous idea. The thought that a team who finished 7th(west brom?) could potentially win the CHAMPIONS League is just silly! Nothing wrong with its current format although I would change the Europa League back too just a knockout system, all games seemed more appealing that way. I get the impression no one really trys in the group stages in the EL.

YES MATE!! My english team are Palace. Always liked them because your badge is basically the same as ours and you also play in red and blue stripes :D:D Welcome to the forum anyway! Also You and the Holmesdale Fanatics are welcome anytime to a game. EAAAAAAGGGLLLEEEESSSSS!!!

I see todays attendances also haven't been realesed yet! I did hear at start of season that celtics ST sales were down by 12,000. Ofcourse celtic fans say its because of the price but personally I think they're grieving more at the fact rangers have gone.

So does Cooper have to share the managerial barn or does he get a new one?

Simples, Rangers continue to get 45,000ish in the league although in the 4th tier. Celtic loosing a lot more support whilst as champions. Don't want to be embarresed

Right, lets say you want to buy my history. If you want we'll even do it properly and get a legal agreement drawn up. Does that mean you went to my primary school? Does that mean you set fire to my/your neighbour's back garden in 1982? Does that mean you got knocked out by a golf ball when you were 15? What exactly have you bought? Taken from the Napoli site.... "Despite the fact that Napoli were playing in such a low division, they retained higher average attendances than most of the Serie A clubs, breaking the Serie C attendance record with 51,000 at one game.[31] The following season, they secured promotion to Serie B and De Laurentiis bought back the club's history, restoring its name to Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli in May 2006" Oops!

Aaahahaha bcz I believe Rangers the 140 year old club are still the same club that's in the 3rd division, but you don't Alex then that's means I'm clearly a rangers fan LOL. A) Been supporting ICT since 1996 (longer than a lot of people on here) B) my 'other' team as a child was actually Hearts Oh dear alex, thought you were better than that

Like I said new company bought old company assets ie RFC 1872. Also when Napoli went tits up in 04 they bought old Napolis history in 06. So I believe it is possible Also when Fiorintina AC when bust in 01 or 02 they reformed as Florence de Fiorentina (or something like that). Had to change badge and weren't allowed to use traditional purple kit, instead wore all white. But I believe in 03 they won a court case which let them play in purple again, use old badge and are now called ACF Fiorintina. Rangers haven't had those problems and are using same kit, badge etc

Team/club still same old Rangers FC founded 1872. Only the company name has changed from, The Rangers FC plc (now liquidated) to The Rangers FC Ltd.(Sevco franchise 5088). Mr green buying all the assets from the oldco and putting them into newco ie history, badge, stadium, kit etc. Can't believe after recent findings people are still happy to 'have a dig' at rangers. All along HMRC have been lying and now not only RFC but the SPL and the national game is in a precarious position. Hearts are clearly feeling the effect along with a few others. Our own club even needed an Emergency meeting when Gers got sent down to 3rd division. This all could and should have been avoided if someone had done their job right! Those who want to keep 'laughing' at gers on you go. But think if this had happened to us and ICT were now in the HL on the basis of a lie, everyone would be livid!

I grew up supporting the club when crowds of 1500-2000 were the norm. I think im fairly right in saying the first home game after feb 8th there was an attendance of 1700 or something lol. Saturday was the 1st time in 8 years we dropped below 3000 and only by 52 or something. I see some people have joked about people not making the game bcz of being at the kirk, well i know of quite a few where that was indeed the reason. I had work along with no doubt a few others. Not to mention that its a month before christmas and folk are obviosly saving and lastly, it was on the telly! I'll worry if our next home game is below the 3000 mark but, for now, im not to worried! On the thing about Invernessians not supporting us. I disagree, i think theres a fairly large home support or a large number of locals who wish us well. Its just peoples expectations have changed and just expect us to be in the SPL and the 'new' novelty has gone. There is no rush to go watch us now. (Thats why i think there was a massive home crowd for the derby, its been along time since there was a derby). Likewise we now expect to see 3000-4000 at TCS when its not that long ago that was unheard of.

Ye its not the greatest but i believe it will be better and more competitive than the current farce. My ideal league would be 3 leagues (prem, championship, div3) of 14 with everyone playing 3 times each, 39 games a season. 2 times isnt enough and 4 is to much, 3 for me is perfect. The bottom two of prem and Champ get automatically relegated and replaced by top two. 3rd bottom and 3rd top have 2 legged play off like what they do in bundesliga. HL champions and East. Of Scotland champions have a play off with the winner playing the div 3 bottom side in a play off.

SFL voted on it today. Glad to say the colt team idea has been quashed and a 16/10/16 league structure has been voted through. Delighted about this. Biggest chance for real change in 13 years. I hope the SPL grow a pair and vote it through aswell! Theres a link for it on bbc, couldnt get it cz im on ma phone

Thats right OCG county made section G of the south stand a singing section in october. It could be easily done for us, however, from what iv heard this weekend we have only been allocated 1200 tickets. The reason for this im unsure but the away stand at the shoebox holds about 1900. I believe The club wanted to have a singing section or allocate a few rows to the sectionE lads but this has been made difficult bcz of the lack of seats made available. If uncle Roy has done this to make it look like we cant fill our end or for an advantage, he's a bigger kant than i thought So, only thing is for all those 1200 folk who are going to stand and give the team ultimate vocal backing for 90 mins!!

I wish that was the case cap. But we all know unless those who want to stand and sing are together, there will be no atmosphere from our end!

Any advances on a singing section? I really think its needed!!

At the 03±04 semis there were ppl outside the ground selling flags on sticks. £10 a flag i think it was. I would rather buy a waving flag from the club than filling some random weegies pockets!

I hope there will be a designated singing section to spur on the rest of the fans like the 1st fixture. SectionE was bouncing on the 5th. I hope L_G and the club will look into this!

Well that's me missed both Feb 8th and now Oct 31st lol never mind, listened to both on the radio going mental in my living room If we dont get Celtic or Hertz in the semis, would you still want to play at a 1/4 full hampden? I remember the semis against dundee and pars the atmosphere was crap, put a downer on the whole day. a 14,000 crowd against midden at Easter road would be better. what you think?

HAHA the 6766 crowd at TCS on friday was bigger than the whole capacity of their shoebox ground. Also i see in the U20 league table we are 3rd and they are bottom. So much for that "super-fantastic Elite Academy" they keep going on about.

They're all crying on OTB now because before the game we played a Cher song which has really peeved them off. I can't think what song it was but its proper got them all offended like ra'sellick fans. One has even stated we have no class because of this behaviour Also just wondering if anyone has any videos of our end at all? I'm sure i saw a few people with their phones out

Just want to say well done to everyone who was in sections E/F in the north stand on friday. The noise created was unbelievable. Even the old grannies in F were standing and sing at the end. The mass bouncy at the end was sheer bedlam. I remember many games in the enclosure which were mental but this is the 1st time since TCS became all seater that the north stand really flourished with noise. Would love to think this is the start of and intimadating, noisy and passionate home support but sadly probably not. I do believe standing helps and if section E was to become an official standing/singing section maybe just maybe the atmosphere at other home games will get better. PS. Mikey frasers sisters abit of a dirt eh! :O
