  1. These idiots that ran on to the pitch are not only an embarrassment to themselves but they have embarrassed Caley Thistle. Our club does not need fans like this.

    Who knows what the consequences of this will be for the club. Will we need to pay out for more stewards? Will the club face a fine or any other sanction.

    So yes the silly little boys that ran onto the pitch do need dealt with and made to face up to their irresponsible actions.

  2. Technically speaking, holding a season ticket, also 'does the club out of revenue'!

    It irritates the heck out of me that season ticket holders seem to adopt a moral high-ground. as if having one demonstrates some sort of 'extra' affiliation to the club!

    I pay full fare when I go, and over a season it translates to more than season ticket holders pay. More fool me, obviously - but I do it because I love the club.

    It's reminiscent of disgruntled customers approaching me, in my former work, with an opening salvo of "I'm a shareholder here so..." or in my current employment with " I pay your wages, so..."

    Being a season-ticket holder doesn't make you special, and insulting those who aren't as "fans" is just daft - every body we can get inside the stadium helps!

    Our recent return of a five-figure sum as profit could easily be six-figures.

    We lost 500 fans per game last season x 19 = 9,500 spectators. Multiply that by just £20 each = £190,000!!

    It's significant! I really take issue, DALNEIGHCALEY, at your suggestion that this could lose us money!

    Nobody going is suddenly now not going to bother! - it's all extra money in the till - albeit a small amount - and maybe a few extra fans! I think it's a good initiative by ICT, even if it sticks in the craw of some season ticket holders!

    ^^^^^ Totally agree

  3. If the SNP cared less about independence, Gaelic, William Wallace and 1314 and more about what is happening today then they would get on a lot better and Scotland would bejust etter place to live. But sadly the SNP and their followers are stuck in the past and that doesn't look like changing any time soon.

    Spot on 157. We are where we are because in the 2011 election, which to the vast majority was overwhelmingly about schools, hospitals, law and order etc, this single issue pressure group also slid the word "referendum" into its manifesto.

    Because Labour in particular but also the other mainstream parties were in such disarray, this bunch of single issue obsessives got an overall majority. The very next day this "referendum", which much of the electorate wasn't even aware of or rated as a relevant election issue, became the only thing that mattered and has been boring the @rse off most of us ever since.

    The reality is that, of the 44.7%, even the majority of them couldn't actually give much of a toss about separation. I think most of them voted Yes because it was one of just two options or the people telling them to do so were offering them more subsidy from the public purse..... or simply because they had seen that wonderful example of historical accuracy which is Braveheart!

    And now the SNP have firmly been told NO they are still in denial about that and, whilst they continue to attempt to undermine the process of increased devolution in pursuit of their unique brand of grievance politics, our public services continue to suffer from neglect.

    If the snp hadn't brought the referendum, I'm pretty sure you'd be on here banging on about a manifesto pledge being deserted.

    Instead they have abandoned many of their other manifesto pledges to concentrate on seperation...maximum 18 kids per class - my son has 31 in his class, scrapping the council tax is just 2 that comes to mind. Over the last 7 years I have watched the mess they have made of our nhs. We need a government in control in Scotland that will work for the interests of every person in scotland and not just those backing their separatist agenda.

  4. I think the split at the end of the season also does not help. If I knew at the beginning of the season when games were going to be played then I would arrange my life around these games but unfortunately because we only get a few weeks notice for these remaining games I quite often have other commitments and miss some of the remaining fixtures.

  5. Yes the club have tried cost incentives for midweek games - when the children have school the next day, people working etc so I don't think that is a true reflection.

    The cost of tickets need to be dropped over a period of time not just one or two midweek games at the end of the season.

  6. I genuinely think part of the reason is down to cost. A family of 4 going to the football is £46 alone for tickets before they even get there. I know kids go free if they buy season tickets but not everyone can afford to buy season tickets. Attending a football game is a luxury for many. I really don't know why they don't just make it kids go free with a paying adult for pay as you go supporters as well or even a nominal fee of say £2. Many on here disagree with the cost being the reason for low attendances and it may not be the case for everyone but I bet a lot of families out there cannot afford this.
