12th Man

We seem to have the luck of the Irish at this newly named stadium but fortune favors the brave

I think everyone at the club deserves a big well done for the season so far. Never mind Kenny Shields bumming himself up, I think he should put his duffel coat back on and get back to south park pronto, hes a lot more likable when you just hear a muffle. All involved at ICT have worked wonders, new faces at hospitality, hospitality B&B, new sponsors, the club shop taking the initiative to set up camp in th Eastgate centre prior to Christmas, the half time servery are serving at lightning speed, the staff at the bar keeping queues to a minimum, schools getting free invites and even looking out for a local school who had their gardens vandalized, great competitions, even different sections of the North stand are singing at matches, the membership numbers are swelling at Caley Jags together, the away support is growing and I havent even got round to the team yet. Its absolutely fantastic to be going in to 2013 in 2nd place, only 6 points behind Celtic, and still in 2 cup competitions, it just goes to show what a bit of self belief can do and long may it continue, just keep doing what you are doing as every week seems to take us a step closer to a top six finish for the first time, if and when thats secured the sky's the limit guys. Thanks to all for a great 2012 and hears to an even better 2013.

You guys forgetting the perfect crosses in for Foran to score with his head, or the assist at Celtic park?

Along the lines of in which city was Caledonian and Thistle merged in 1994 reply Edinburgh????

just checked train prices £51.20 x 2 return. bus looks a better deal at £14 each Wheres a good place to park around the stadium and do the police let you back on to the A9 North easy enough. Not sure where you got those prices. Off peak day return is £25.60 and applies to 10.45 leaving Inverness and 18.58 from Perth. If you park at the stadium you can get onto A9. Out stadium turn right. Police direct traffick and they prefer it to go onto A9. It can take a while to get out though. Get there early enough and park at Tulloch Institute. Two mins walk from stadium. I cant go cos I have to stay and suffer the heat of African waters. I should have really typed £51.20 for two people instead of x2, thanks for the advice, I have in the past parked down the road past the Tulloch club near a shop and a chippie, you can sneak through the housing estate and come out by the Holiday inn express, Its just Ive never hung around to find out if it gets congested on the main route home, think Ill split the difference and park at the lodge and take my usual route.

Those flirty tipsy bar stewards were singing 'Id rather be a Gipsy than a tink' just to clarify, is that offensive to tinks and gypsies?

Look at it like the merger of Scottish brigade ( well not quite, nobody won the Victoria cross, got shrapnel, shot anyone or gralloched them with a bayonet on the pitch) I was thinking more along the lines of the pride and Honor associated with wearing the badge, I think the eight remaining abstainers should put their gripes to bed and come along and see what their original club has helped create, go buy a hat and scarf and go wear the badge with pride.

Your going to miss out on a chance to play in Europe next season alongside great men, you have stood shoulder to shoulder with your team mates on the the pitch, to earn the right to play in Europe next season. Tade left us to play in Europe (or so he says) but he didnt earn the right to be there, You've all earned that right. Most of you are still young and will look back on seasons 2012-2014 with fond memories, of a time when it was more about love and passion, than having more money elsewhere but being left with an empty heart. Besides, If A Shinnie goes, who will laugh at his jokes?

look at away day ticket and travel info which is the topic currently above this one

Early days tbh, I would wait till the Hearts match is out the way.

I dont think its a major concern this season when the manufacturer is churning out a high quality product. Local derby matches, matches live on tv and a cup run are excellent advertising when the finished article is of good quality. Also the club invests their time with local schools etc. At the minute the club is really selling its self. Have we reached market saturation for ICT, not really as we are currently reaching out to different customers. I have an idea though for raising the profile between the season drawing to an end, the sale of season tickets and the start of the season. I was in a sport shop recently and was asked if I would like a bag when buying some gear, immediately the attendant reached for a robust bag, which would have lasted a good while, I just went for the free one, it still advertised their shop though, we could actually do the same. My suggestion would be to produce ICT bags with different designs on them, also run a competition for primary schools and secondary schools to create a design (with plenty of runner up prizes) announce the competition early May and have it concluded by the time school finishes, The schools gets some recognition for having the best pupils for designing a bag, include the school on the bag. The designers get something in return. The whole event raises the profile of ICT at a time when Season tickets are going on sale. ICT sell the bags and advertise themselves. Sizes? If its too big, (Tesco large style) it will sit in the boot of a car and only be on display in a trolley for 100 yds between a till and car again. All bag designs have ICT logos on main surface area, ICT fc vertically down the slits front and back and bag sponsors at bottom. Sizes? A4 gift bag cardboard, A3 size sturdy plastic, which also includes comp winners and a robust bag, size between A2 and A3 for shopping.

IHE why did you edit the picture ? from the way your left arm is raised you were clearly holding a handbag

Thats a bit crap we are going there to win and only get a few seats, This will be a great day out as we haven't been to a semi for a few years now, that means I am going to have to shout on behalf of the people who wont get tickets Bottom tier 2149 top 1609 total 3758 Focus on the league guys thats more important until the date arrives

I did enquire in the shop yesterday and was told that they will be going on sale on the 7th of Jan

Pretty good offer 2 tickets for the price of one but has to be bought by the end of friday

Not advertised here, facebook, twitter or ICT.com must be a special deal for Inverness courier readers only ??? What ever it is

Bet 365 are listed as streaming the game ( think it applies to people with an account but its just a case of creating one) odds checker say they are streaming the game but its not listed on actual site ?

Eureka, how about we have derby matches show an exciting derby cup game live on tv, have everyone talk about the game, then have another derby match on tv for new year, advertise half season ticket books and also move the club shop up to the Eastgate centre possibly one weekend in December .

Thats got me thinking, if he recently gave you the pen, did you smell before you used it

Once the international patent comes through for my walk on water Moses flotation sandals, Im going to invest in ICT big time. I was thinking of buying Samaras and Brown as backup incase any of our guys werent well In the meantime league cup, Scottish cup will do this year I suppose.

Maybe he could give Adams a pen so he can go and sit in it

Rosco is Superman! Rosco Rosco Rosco! HA Ha Ha

Out of interest did you see this advertised? Radio? Word of mouth? In all fairness its up to Dingwall to promote their ticket sales they're the ones taking the money, I would like to see the Semi final tickets on sale though, tickets for a cup semi just before Christmas a great way to lure in new fans Are there any pubs open on the 2nd

The form, the unity and the free flowing football is in abundance just now and long may it continue. Would I forgo the rest of the season just to say we finished in 2nd. Definitely not, you support a team because you enjoy the team and theres a lot more football to enjoy before the end of the season.
