12th Man

Was their new goal keeper in goals?

Totally agree if we cant get folk in basically free I dont think prices are the problem here. In reply to Deanos point above when the players visit schools free adult tickets as well as childrens tickets are offered. Good old pester power must work sometimes? However I have spoken to a player on that subject and they find it frustrating that the kids they meet are very keen to come but the adults wont bring them! Surely you can't be saying £12 for the coldest and wettest part of the stadium to take a kid to the game is a decent price. That's pretty poor. I've got 3 girls and sadly neither are interested in football after me trying a good few times to encourage it but I wouldn't ever take them to the dreaded uncovered sections which would have definitely turned them away. Football for the occasional fan is expensive but it's not the only reason why people aren't turning up. People's work commitments at the weekends take priority and as I work 7 out of 8 Saturday's I rarely get to games now unless I request a date off especially What I meant to say was the open section is an option made available to fans, or for a few quid more you can sit in the North Stand instead. But don't get upset over having this section available to fans if you can't make it to games and your kids don't want to go either.

A good performance and we still had chances to win it. Great defending and a lot of creative play on show. Nice to see Garry Warren back in action too. Which comes at a good time with Dave the Rave going on holiday.

If its too dear then the pay what you want promotion should have seen us turning people away at the gate as we should have been full. An adult can take kids to the match, season ticket averages out at £15:70, a pensioner or under 25yr old could take kids for £10 ish a game with a St book, or £12 for the uncovered section in the main stand. Seems reasonable enough to me. There's also free tickets for schools and if the seats are empty anyway then may as well get new faces interested.

Sadly deano if tickets were subsidised by the government then 3000 adults for each match £10 cheaper for only one season for the SPFL alone would be around 6.5 Million. The cost would be far higher as other clubs have far more fans. I don't think they have that kind of cash spare when it could be spent else where.

Football goes through trends as well, I believe there were just as many people who went to the halloween event last night as we took to Hampden but its free and its an annual event, football costs money and its more frequent. If you think of an ICT ladder, where there are people who don't even acknowledge a football club in Inverness, these people haven't even climed on to the bottom rung, where higher up are the fans who frequently go to games and buy merchandise etc. There are far more people out there that at least affiliate themselves to our club and are on the bottom rung. There are the ones who now want an ICT shirt or go to one or two games more a season. Its better to think of ways to generate interest as the club do, than do nothing. I hear nothing but positivity from people who get free tickets for youngsters. Which makes a nice change from fans moaning about players It's a work in progress but at least we are moving in the right direction.

Injuries aside this is the squad that we have. So like going down to 10 men. It's up to the players to pull their weight, galvanise and get stuck in, I saw enough desire and hunger to win the game the hard way in the last 20 mins so feel far more optimistic for Saturday.

He didn't actually make a serious investment.

Were they St Johnstone fans? No, ICT fans, I believe it was an ICT backed initiative for youngsters in the Strathspey area. Got the feedback from a parent today.

On a positive note. I heard today that some youngsters from Aviemore went to their first football match on Saturday and really enjoyed themselves.

According to the SPFL website, it has indeed been moved. Now on Wednesday (28th Oct) at 2pm from Grant Street. I see also, that on Sunday 1st November, we're away to Dunfermline in the Scottish Youth Cup (last 32 stage). Thanks for the update Sneckboy

I think yesterday's views were clouded by a last minute penalty, the first half we actually played not bad at all but so did the Saints, After watching them pull apart Rangers so easily in a Cup match, I thought defensively we did well and the game was pretty open. The ref was more interested in letting the game flow and freekicks were few and far between. The second half was totally different, with the early sending off you would assume we could go on and win the match but all the Perth side did was to leave one man up front and the rest of them camped inside their own half and rarely came out of it, add to that extremely slow substitutions and booting the ball out of sight for throw ins to run down the clock. If we had 70% possession over the 90 minutes, then we would have had 55% in the first half and 85% in the second. Tuesday night TV or go to the match? I'm opting for real live football, Its far better than the TV and theres even a deal on for under 16s to get in for free. With a 7:05pm ko time it's certainly doable on a school night.

We lost. It's 3 points dropped. I thought it looked very much like a draw tbh. With neither side being able to break down the other. We did have a greater desire to want to win the match but just couldnt pass it through them. It was 0-0 till near the end which in my book means a point each is on the cards, If we were winning 1-0 with a few mins to go and lose 2-1, I would call that dropping 3 points. Or perhaps having numerous attempts saved and being worth of a victory. A point each would have been fair. Hope you enjoyed your Baxters soup. :-) I would imagine the faith will be fully restored by Tuesday night.

Disappointing end to the match, at least we only dropped a point today as we wouldn't have deserved all 3. The Saints seemed quite happy to sit back and run down the clock for a point so were extremely fortunate to leave with 3 points. The away team reminded me of Clyde over a decade ago, big solid blokes just happy sitting behind the ball. At least Tuesday nights match should suit our style of play far more. P's can we get the correct players up for the man of the match poll

At least it will save watering the pitch and the away fans at half time.

Perhaps another Cup run will sweeten a new contract a little. The powers that be still have a club to run though and with that comes the responsibility of keeping the club solvent. Maybe the goalposts will move a wee bit IF we get past County on Tuesday. Then we can all have a good moan about going to a 12:15 pm Semi in Glasgow on a Sunday.

I see that the fixture next week is on at the same time as our Cup fixture, is it likely to be moved?

It's more the is he isn't he going that I want to move on from.

We were beaten at 4:45 yesterday and that's when the defeat ended so we now move on to next Saturday. I watched the highlights, we played well and were unlucky not to take something from the game. We've now got the defeat after the possible manager move out the way so today's a new day.

Or maybe get him on a 3 year deal.

Our manager keeps saying that he should get better once his fitness improves, as Ive yet to see him run faster than his usual jog around the pitch, he also has a lot of good players around him for the killer pass, I wouldn't mind seeing him stay till the end of season, or longer maybe to see if he comes good.

Under 21s and pensioners £15 Adults £20

Any idea when the online club shop will be up and running even if its only photos and prices would be handy. Does the club have the means to purchase jd sport stock and post it overseas with additional merchandise only sold in the club shop providing all stock is paid for.

We can't afford Mixu, the media reports he knocked back united in the hope of aa better paid job down south. We still have a manager so not much point in giving it much thought yet.

I speak for myself and many many others and would like to say thanks for all the help and support given over the years. In the club shop and also the free time given regarding CJT. A great ambassador for the club, you will certainly be missed by the fans. I hope all is well.
