12th Man

It makes more sense having something to sell when its announced.

Good to hear hes signed for longer Regarding the above post. As an antisceptic I hope it all clears up soon.

Thought that I should make a correction for the elderly.

Thats a good point reading your messages and sending a reply.

It would be the v neck version for me but both are good

Thats just the norm, they cant even allow large away flags into the stadium incase they have super magical powers.

There is a bus running from the club in grieg st and the bus station, the rest seems to be a secret. Perhaps someone could enlighten us. I was in touch with the Geillions a few seasons back and they didnt BUT it was a case of if the interest is there they could look into it again, I think it was the Smithton that ran a bus but that was a few seasons back too. I think its a case of contacting your local and enquiring, they arent a charity and will only do it if the numbers are there, the only way the numbers will be there is if people actually contact them and say they will use it.

Thanks to all who have got in touch so far, please remember to send me a quick message if you havent done so, or remember to check your message box. Cheers.

1, I mentioned it before 6 volunteers only need to help out 3 times each throughout the whole season for 10 mins before closing time to keep the queues moving. 2, A lot of other venues call out the numbers one at a time, perhaps we could have a 50/50 board where the numbers are placed in the concourse area and send a text message to servery staff 5 mins before HT and they could put it up. 3 I have an idea for this but should speak to the club. 8, The car park has alway been a sticking point. Firstly and Ive seen this before, seperate the traffic as it comes in to form 2 lanes with cones, it keep the roads clearer and money is collected in each lane, Steward assisting traffic on 1st day, as approaching from bridge will try and take left lane, Everyone is given a new mini layout of the car park.including stewards, the immediate carpark area is coned off forcing you to drive towards the A9 end of the car park to then come back and queue facing the sea. The map indicates parking direction, the entry point becomes the new exit point FOR LEFT TURN ONLY and traffic forms rows, 1st in are nearest to the gate and the rest form rows to the right, If you are heading to the A9 you queue facing the sea nearest the gate that is currently used for exit only this is FOR RIGHT TURN ONLY but you will have to wait for all pedrestians to pass, 5-10 mins, the parked cars form rows which slowly come closer to each other so if the percentages vary so it doesnt matter, 1st in really will be 1st out and with 2 exits going different directions the cars move faster making parking at the stadium more attractive. Cars not wishing to leave immediately ie hospitality, bar, club shop, removing flags from seats, park in an area nearest to the North stand this sould keep all traffic flowing and increase revenue for the car park if people can get home quicker. The sticking point is the lack of time and manpower that the club actually has to enforce new ideas. I think you would be surprised how much volunteers actually do for the club. For instance would you have the spare time to be involved in an ICT volunteer day for just one day over the summer.

Other clubs can do what they want. If we were in a Scottish cup final and only had to travel to Elgin I would expect a good turnout. To Strengthen and build. Firstly Top marks for building up the youth interest. Look after and appreciate your core customer base. Find Fresh ways to capture new support, work out where to find them, how to lure them in, how to provide them with a new experience, an enjoyable experience. Were there any negative aspects of their experience Would they come back. 1, Did they get served quick enough in the bar, 2, How did they find out if they won a 50/50 draw, did the announcer make it exciting, does it sometimes appear on a random wall on an A4 bit of paper. 3i, Did they look bored when they queued for a pie, 3ii,Did the area look like a dumping ground, 3iii,Did it look grubby, 3iv,Should there be anything of interest on the walls, 3,v,Should it be a place of inspiration to refuel and motivate. 8, Did they lose the will to live waiting to leave the car park. Certainly bring the new faces in but their experience has to be a positive one. Certainly enjoy the football but endure the rest until it becomes habit then you dont notice it.

The Real Global energy ( which doesnt run out of power when used in the evening ) stadium

Its our of our hands, it looks like they will have to get more points than Rangers,or Hibs

Fingers crossed it will be a good design

Ive sent a wee thank you message to all who donated. Can you check your message box or email address tied in with with your Caleythistleonline account and send me a quick reply thanks. If you have made a contribution and I havent sent you a message can you send me a PM to let me know thanks and we can get it checked out. Cheers 12th Man ( Why did the name Dougle just suddenly appear in my head?)

I find plenty of pasta for dinner the night before is good for reducing the effect of a hangover. I would normally need a bit more than a bacon roll. 'ear-ly in the mor-ing'

Excellent news

Thats a good call and when someone from the legal profession raises the issue you know theres a bit of weight behind the debate. The stands would have been built by Tulloch Construction which are no more. David Sutherland did a great job building up his empire, perhaps he could make a donation to call it the David Sutherland Stand and name the away end after his wife. That should see us into 2024.

I hope its like the above too. Very tempted to go out and buy one when made available especially as season ticket holders get 10% off Also a very smart marketing move by Mr Subway Inverness.

Expectations, Fill up the family section. Its cheaper and all you have to do is take your Nephew or Niece to the game, you then become the favourite Uncle/Aunt depending on gender and get lavished with gifts from their parents for taking their wee one out for the day, you save money and introduce a new fan to the club.

I have noticed that over the months/ years plenty of time is spent on this website writing this that or the other, to post something only to find that it dissappears into the depths of time, perhaps some of the time could be spent on the site in a more productive and proactive way. Plenty of people have plenty of ideas about what should be done by others, has anyone thought about how they could actually make their ideas happen. For starters are there any graphic designers out there who would take Pride in their designs being on display or being worn. If you Believe that the queue in the bar is too long and your a regular, perhaps you could become a volunteer for 10 mins and pour drinks, or work out a rota, amongst only 5 people, thats helping out 3-4 times in the whole season,which is only once every 3 months for 10 mins work and you really would be a saviour, imagine being the one who helps save the day by getting rid of all those awful queues. Or perhaps 2 on for the big games, your call though. Maybe you could Achieve something by starting up a local supporters club, its early days and for now its all about getting names and forms of contact, CJT said they can hold the info on their database. So theres not really a lot of time taken up. If you take in a few pounds per member, once you have say 20 you can warrant getting your own flag. The above should take up very little time but if you take that first step, you will all be super stars. How about the ICT fans continually punching above our weight.

Possible but improbable, their points are too precious to encourage their fans to stay away.

I dont think we could afford Hamill, otherwise he would be staying at Hearts if his wages were within reason, no harm in asking though

Your figures may be spot on regarding lack of revenue for the club but numbers wise, no Rangers, one home game v Celtic, County, games squashed together mid week, league games avoided as money was being spent on a cup semi and a Cup final, high united turnout for a cup but fickle amount of fans for a league game, hardly any St Jonnys either due to cup game. The league figures wont lie but the same fans may have just spread their cash across to the cup games aswell.

Are we sponsoring a 1st team player or a super sub

Is there any truth in a rumour that Arsen Venga is a pal of Yogis.
