12th Man

Looks like hes on the verge of signing for Peterhead. I would have liked to have seen him back here but I cant see how he could improve the team this season,I don't mean that as an insult to Barry I mean it more of a compliment to our current squad of players.

http://www.jobs-north.co.uk/Inverness-jobs...nager/329278365 Know anyone looking for a part time job for a bit of extra cash.

Its a bit early to mention admin We could discuss if someone wanted to buy ICT and carry on their debt or let the club go bust and wipe out the dept and go back to division3 Or would you want to invest in a club in dept or invest in one starting afresh in div 3 Its way too early to mention the above and not worth wasting the time. Dunfermiline,Dundee,county and Motherwell- now thats worth discussing . The way the team are playing just now the future is looking a lot rosier.

Thought he played not bad at all considering he was put straight in to the team,

Pies were pretty good, hot too, the staff were a bit slow but not bad for a first attempt, I'm sure it will improve as the team gels and get up to speed. Is there much surplus from hospitality, the extras could quite easily be put in to plastic containers like the ones from the Chinese takeaways and sold as the special of the day from half time onwards assuming the people at hospitality eat before the game.

What do you mean freezing thought you took hospitality, you would have been in a lovely warm place at half time having a hot cuppa and pie with not a que in sight.

I'm away to find my themal pants.

And the mister pedantic award for December goes to - :005: Fur gude nus syke ur u board ur summit.

Aren't the pies a bit small for doing that kind of thing? maybe you could try an American pie.

They're a bunch of chancers, the same site said it was sunny from 12. last night.

Had my doubts last night but the weather men predicted that it should be sunny from 12 ish onwards.The sun is trying to break through the mist as I type in the Culloden. Talking of rtas,I was driving through Kirkcaldy during the week and was so mesmerised by 2 giant illuminated cranes and thought hang on a minute shouldn't I be watching the road.

Did someone know say on another thread that Foran is banned for one game and Duncan is banned for three? how about adding this to your favourites Coulomb http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/football_docum...es.cfm?page=722 I think I should read all the posts before adding to it.

Wow that's hilarious.... Anyway, I'm led to believe it'll be the same back line again tomorrow, so this bloke will probably be at right midfield. Can't say I know much about him, but what emergency has taken place so an emergency loan has been brought in? On the whole though, it's not really in the midfield that players are needed just, ICT are crying out for a decent centre half to challenge Bulvitis and Munro. Mr Duncan is out for tomorrow,So he may well go straight in to that position, and the Spl are altering their rules on loans due to the fact that players arent getting games with there being no reserve games. I think the sfl rules have stayed the same though, so ICT cant loan out till the 1st.

I wonder if a certain striker may be going the other direction for a month as we are a bit top heavy in that dept, Aberdeen aren't scoring many goals and Barrowman impressed in the first game of the season against the dons.

Thats because both mine and tony's drums are knackered and plus we have no beaters! The right people are out there to help you out but its better if you go looking for them to see if they will help with regards to getting your drums fixed. That might work, if not sent a letter to the north pole and Santa might be good to you.

1 team is always going to finish bottom no matter how good the last team is, can you add the points acquired at the end of the season for the demoted club to give a clearer picture of the failings of the relegated team.

Thats the link 12th man,no sure why it's no working as it's the same one.I don't see it as giving rich owners leverage to buy out the lease then give the seats away for next to nowt,but an opppertunity for ALL clubs, when away, to market these games to their own supporters.If it works everybody wins as the home teams get more than they would normally expect and the away team get extra support and better atmosphere. Thats a strange one I clicked on the first post and it said the link appeared to be broken last night and its ok now.

The dee for life link appeared to be broken is this what you are discussing? http://www.dee4life.com/storage/Dee4Life%2...%20Revenues.pdf Which means the away team leases the away stand for a premium price and then dictates what price to set for its away fans. So for example if you were a multi millionaire you could hire an away stand fill it with all of your fans by only charging ?5 for adults and ?1 for kids to lift the team and pick up extra points. I would try and bring up that one if I was mega rich,

Would a Santa's grotto be feasible to organise and set up at the stadium for the Raith game especially with it being kids for a quid Do we have enough merchandise to cater for youngsters,or something unique, photos etc. Or would it be easier to put a Santa's grotto neon sign above the club shop and an x-mas tree with lights on it on the roof, and have the staff dressed as Santa's elves for the day, to pull more customers in.

Thanks for that, one less present to get now.

I don't know what to get someone who has everything, for Christmas. Can anyone remind me how much a brick costs and when is the latest that I can buy one for it to be up in time for the Dundee match?

Great initiative from Partick and good to see ICT trying something regarding kids prices.I think the whole thing should be extended to all kids under 16 should get in free to all SFL games when accompanied by an adult unless the club thinks a certain game will be a sell out.This would encourage folk along to watch more local games and, as you say, the club will probably recoup a fair bit of any lost revenue through food and drink sales.Football spectating is habitual and needs kickstarting to get a new generation into the habit that many older hands have got out of,if it's to survive and prosper in the long term. Great post Heilandee. I agree with you 100% I think trying to create habitual attendance among young fans would be a positive step. I'm not sure if the kids at Partick even have to be accompanied by an adult. Good idea but. We still have a hefty wage bill, I would imagine a reduction in sponsorship and hospitality income, a reduction in full paying adults this season, the attendance figures are about the same but the revenue will be far less from those attending. I think ICT are being generous as it is, or at least being realistic that if they didnt do something about priceing to get fans in, the present and future attendance figures would drop. But you have to strike a balance between making some money and doing a Clach. As for buying kids crisps,coke and a hotdog x 2 plus a programme ?12.50 ? how much money do you think ICT make on this amount.

Can the local primary schools be sent out a poster advertising kids for a quid? before someone moans about the cost of postage. There aren't that many primary schools within a 35? mile radius. Or is ICT two steps ahead of me already. If would also be a good time to offer to take someone else's kids that you know, as it gives their parents a bit of free time to do some shopping at this time of year.

I was kind of hoping that the 1st div would take a bigger slice but going by a quote from last years payout apparently not. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/s...v_1/7743459.stm At what stage if any is SPL2 And finally, bad news for teletext as its stopping on 14th december

Positive effect ! Does this confirm that 300 away fans make more noise that 3000 home ones. Have you looked at the table for home and away form. I have just looked at the table, if the league was split in to home and away tables we would be in 7th place for home games and 1st for away games. Even after losing to Partick
