    Wholeheartedly agree. Club should publish the progress of CF ticket sales.

    We are a small fan base club and should be open about this. I feel that the fairweather fans wil relish the glory on the day but for whatever reason don't/won't go TCS for the less "glamorous" league games.

    I have been to only 5 games at TCS this season, but have managed 14 away games? Does that mean I am a glory hunter?

    Our diaspora is spread throughout the world. I am sure there are plenty of people who would love to attend more games, but geography/finances dictate otherwise. It is hardly surprising that a number of those will make the effort to be part of a momentous occasion. That doesn't make them glory hunters.

     

    Wind your neck in Hawkeye. I am not decrying the supporters who don't or can't go to home games, nor the fans who are supporting Ict for the final I m just disappointed with the gates we get at home, that's all....we deserve more. 

    No more negative talk, bring it home boys

  2. Ticket sales may be a 'distraction' for Charlie Bannerman but they are of interest to many other fans. Good ticket sales builds interest and can produce a snowball effect. Good on Falkirk for releasing their numbers today, I wish we were not so anal about releasing sales figures

  3. Burley was fantastic at Ipswich (promotion and then Europa league in successive seasons). Relegation the following season was thanks to Europa League distraction + not anticipating a relegation dogfight. At Hearts he was even better, until Romanov decided otherwise (weren't they 2nd in the league at that time?) Scotland wasn't great, especially the Ilewumo/Boyd shambles.

     

    I think he could do a job for us, especially with an ICT thoroughbred by his side (Foran or Wilson?)

    don,t think Richie or Barry can be classed as thoroughbreds to ICT, both have contributed big time I agree......but not thoroughbreds!

    Charlie Christie is the man to support a new manager like Paul Hartley or Barry Ferguson

  4. Re Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers: They didn't play the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders War Memorial Boys Club (Planefield Road) I believe you're thinking of The Rebel Sounds from Keith with the late Benton Green on Lead Guitar.

    I can,t remember for sure...maybe Cliff somebody and the Rebelion????

    It wasn,t the Flock either......Beans he played in the band too

  6. No mention of the Caledonian Ballroom then?

    Hot Chocolate, Amen Corner with Andy Fairweather Low, The Tremeloes minus Brian Poole, Cozy Powell, Runrig, Jimmy James and the Vagabonds.....and heaps more.

    Re. the Tremeloes. It was mid winter and the A9 was  almost closed with snow. They arrived very late and went straight on stage in their travelling clothes, big jackets and overcoats, unshaved and unkempt. They used the resident band's gear (New Safari Drinkhouse Band I believe) which they were of course not familiar with and certainly not of the quality they were accustomed to and proceeded to play a blinder. Great tight vocal harmonies too. 

    They were never a favourite of mine, but I really admired them for rising to the occasion playing totally unprepared so as not to disappoint the punters.

    chicory tip, blackfoot sue, suzi qautro(i think), gary glitter, glittermen without gg, sweet,
