12th Man

I can make out a number aswell

Hes getting closer. The name begins with a consonant.

Scottys coming over, covered in blood, clothes ripped to shreads, stinking of fish, clasping a manky looking Salmon, Hes shouting something,I cant quite hear what hes saying as the water is so loud. Ive turned the volume up,I think hes saying "What on Earth was wrong with using the computer generated random selector, you nutter" Someone must be having a bad day. Hes got the tag in his hand, hes coming closer and I can count at least 7 letters in the user name.

The Bear starts to come round, he has to make a decision, does he fight for the Salmon or grab the book as it might come in handy in the woods later. It looks like Scottys got a fight on his hands, fists and claws are flying, Scotty is getting the better of him with a few round house kicks, It must take him back to his drinking days in the Cummings Hotel.

The bear takes a swipe and a Salmon is pulled clean out of the water with a tag clearly visible, Scottys close by. He has a book between his teeth, Fascinating facts by Charles Bannerman, Hmm, I dont think Ive read that one either, it looks like he is swing it from side to side, the bear has noticed the book and becomes very sleepy, with the other had Scotty starts to pull the Salmon out of the Bears grasp.

I havent seen Scotty for a wee while now, There must be some activity going on as a bear has waded into the water, something has caught its eye. Ah there he is, Scottys head is slowly appearing out of the water behind the bear, like Stallone in a Rambo film but whats that between his teeth?

John West ??? I think that Salmon was earmarked for someone else. Scottys in the water now swimming over to get nearer to some of the other bears, maybe they will be the first to reveal the real winner.

Hes coming over to the web cam and the winner is.

It looks like he has spotted something, a bear has caught a Salmon and it looks like its got a tag on its tail. Scottys away like a rat up a drain pipe, running along the river bank, he leaps, hes going for the flying headbut approach.

The Salmon have now been released and Scotty is pacing the river bank waiting to pounce into action.

Wyness101. is the winner of the pennant. I will announce the star prize of the coveted cup final top signed by the players in a few hours when I get home. Just to make the final draw more interesting we have Skype set up with Scotty. 25 identity tags with all the entrants names will be attached to 25 Wild Salmon. they will be released into a Canadian river and the 1st Grissly Bear to lift one out of the river will be announced the winner, all Scotty has to do is take the salmon from the hungry bear and show the tag to the web cam. Im not sure if this will be done with force or by distraction, IE asking the bear what they thought of the merger or have they read Charles Bannermans book. etc Back in a few hours.

The winner of the pennant is

Forth prize will be announced shortly.

The donation line is now closed. The ball machine is being set up and this evening we will announce the draw for 'a poster of the fans signed by the players'

Well thank goodness two good pedigree clubs merged from Inverness. 2 single entities doing their own thing, get married and go from strength to strength. Its not the death of a club more of a marriage. Maybe it would be good to have a wall of fame with the seperate clubs, progression through the years right up to present date. A bit like putting the family photos up on the wall. Could you imagine if it was with a club further afield, Victoria Pk may have been our home stadium.

I would be very surprised if that were to happen. Would he want a pay cut. Aberdeen wont be forking out a large amount of cash for any player but may even reassess in the winter if they get a good euro cup run with only 6 months left on a contract.

Its always about football Davie and always leads back to it. Of course it seems Wooly as I have revealed nothing. I would want to improve things for an outlay of 1 full paying adult over 3 yrs but thats not my call. Its all about lifting the spirits to give the fans a voice to get behind the team, they are valued customers after all and its the fans that create the atmosphere. Our club sells/sold an ICT Babies bib to fit a 15'' neck and a sleep suit that you wouldnt give to charity from new as the quality is so poor, where as an ICT babies sun visor would stay on a car windscreen for years, there are a few other things that could be looked into a little deeper and its Promoting the club. Ideas should never be mocked, for instance CJT moved into the bar and started increasing the numbers of their members instantly, it would be even better if CJT openly encouraged and promoted regional supporters clubs being set up. Increasing the regional fan base and making them feel part of it. Getting funding to make it a community pitch throws up more questions than answers, would you want the public to use the players changing rooms? where do they park ? do you alter the car park,? what sections do you lock off ? do you turn the bar area into a cafe? who moves in ? what do they sell ? who collects the football money? Where are the entry points? how much do the floods lights cost to run? how much does it cost to keep the stadium open at nights? are there changing and showering facilities for men and women? what about disabled access? It may even remain private and perhaps a cheaper install could be arranged from a company from outwith the UK. If the chairman states that they could perhaps use pitches that havent been built yet when the distibutor road is completed, then it does sound more like one for the back burner. If the club want to move in that direction then Im all for it but everything has a cost.

We don't really know what weight is behind the concept. I can just imagine the media asking the question solely based on Hamilton joining the SPFL and they get a reply. We could also train at a facility that not only isn't built but isn't even at the planning stage. The cost is also a sticking point. I would rather spend a small amount of money on improving the match day experience and not only catching up with other SPFL clubs but exceeding them, not in size but overtaking them with creativity and vision. The traditionalists will say we are a football club and the enjoyment is solely down to what 11 players can do. Well 2nd in the league didn't bring them in, £10 for a Scottish cup QF didn't bring them in, even free tickets for a ST buddy didn't bring them in. We need fresh ideas to brighten up spaces, so the heart races and enlighten faces. We need fresh ideas to feed the sole, to aim for a goal with a bit of rock and roll. We need fresh ideas to scream and shout and let it all out, that's what its all about. We need fresh ideas to come together, to embrace the weather and give them hell for leather. We need fresh ideas. We need fresh ideas. Welcome to the ICT Experience.

Not sure for world cup, he has been in the playoff stages but not the tournament.

The papers said the additional advertising money is going into the managers budget

We had concerns about how the Subway logo would it blend in with the strip, then people start thinking hmm it doesn't look that bad with red and Blue. Sponsors front back and on shorts, what if it all looks ok, wouldn't it be better to hold judgement until you actually see it. I think the club have done well to negotiate extra revenue for ICT.

I would still hold off judging until I see it on the players
