Remarkable work!

It's that chicken and egg thing.....

The League should help to subsidise away tickets thus reducing the overall cost to supporters, and hopefully increasing the attendances... People are fickle creatures and would end up spending the same amount of money, but more would take up the option of travelling away. Also, not every supporter is a member of CJT or CTO so maybe bus information should be more obvious on the official fb page or the ICTFC website? Either the ability to book it or at the very least the contact number.

Yup, and I would also disagree with the opinion that Sportscene do a good job! It's gash! Im sure at least some of the games would come close to the entertainment on show south of the border, but it's produced in such a way as to make our game look crap! So we get rubbish money and a rubbish product!! Sounds about right!

Players that played in a TEAM that weren't good enough for the SPFL. p.s. What's the Premiership?

And to that end, how much has the dropping of points in the last 10 minutes cost us? Top 6, cups etc. ££££££

I think it's all relative. How much did the injuries cost the team this season? I'm just guessing and I have 0 facts to substantiate my claim, but I would say that this kind of investment would pay for itself very quickly.

This image clearly shows that you're wrong. Whilst they may have a 'high by our standards' budget, it's actually relatively very low, in fact one of the lowest in their league. Regardless of the amount of money in their owners bank account. this is very much a David slays Goliath fairy tale. If the mighty ICT won the spiffle on out humble budget it would be regarded as such and rightly so. Even though Wick Academy would decry our massive budget.

The club have offered free tickets to the children of Hilton Primary, I'm assuming they may have approached the other local schools too....if this encourages some adults to attend too, it may fill up the stands for the cameras if nothing else. cancel that - this is actually for the final game of the season vs Dundee. My mistook!

Re-iterating that it wasn't his doing that it took so long to sign as well

This one sentence epitomises the CaleyThistle fan!

Yes. and the line about players playing for contract offers is clearly a kick up the arse to everyone that's started their summer hols already. Hopefully it'll make the run in a bit more meaningful and entertaining. its clearly a response to yogi's moaning- you know the budget, you have done for a while go and find some people worth signing and we'll sign the cheques! We would like to keep Miles, and we know he is keen to stay. I hope they can secure him for a while longer, not a prolific scorer, but if played in position may well put more away. Also a much needed injection of pace in the team

Good news Polly!!! he's one of our own! And finally some communication from the board - tells us enough to keep us happy without saying so much that they give away targets etc to other clubs. Unfortunate that nothing mentioned regarding the future of the Rave...is he really going to go.....?!

If the Youth Team would return then I wouldn't be able to hear myself either.....any explanation for their absence, since funnily enough the County game?

why no 'facepalm' emoji?!

Maybe I just need to sit somewhere different....

Interested in doing my bit for the club, but not got loads o spare cash...how much dipping are we talking about?

I think he's coming off an injury. Well, I hope that's the case anyway! Too good to not be playing. Another player with actual quality that'll probably drift away.....

My issue was more with comments during the game...the incessant criticism of every single touch or pass is really grating. If you have a bad meal, you discuss it afterwards, or while your eating it, but you don't stand and shout through to the chef in the kitchen and criticise how he is producing your meal; we may know how to cook, But it certainly isn't our profession. Criticism in this way would likely have a negative effect on his ability to perform to the best of his abilities... Ditto with the idea of a film-would you stand over the shoulder of a director and tell him he's not filming the movie correctly, that you know better? However it's acceptable to criticise the players during a match, which they CAN hear - this is likely to frustrate the players, and negatively affect their performance. And if you were at a movie, and another cinema-goers commentary was affecting YOUR enjoyment of the product you'd be pissed off too! As ive said before, the constant bemoaning of every single choice or pass or touch by the players is draining! This forum IS the place for that, I agree. Some people might talk absolute guff, myself included, but it's better to do it on here than shout and scream and boo our own players.

Why oh why are we STILL blabbering on about JH going and who his replacement might be? We bluddy won the match? Between this nonsense on here and listening to people in the stand criticise everything the players and management do during a match its no wonder we have crap attendances! It's other 'fans' that put me off attending not the quality of the football on display.

If it ever existed, looking at what's being said, then it's no longer there to dip into... If this is what happened, then I agree; reduce the budget and return to a more 'comfortable' financial position. The league in which we play isn't important ATEOTD, the existence of the club is what is important.

Funny how other people around you in the stand can negatively affect your impression of players! And annoying actually....when I buy my season ticket next season I'll be changing my seat!! Didn't think Vigurs had a good game, but clearly someone behind me hates him! The north stand managers are really starting to get on my tits! Can the youth team please make an appearance again in order to drown them out?! Typical ICT game - nervous! But, cracking result. Great possession throughout; need to sort out the stray passes though, and the final ball, inject some pace, be a bit more direct....maybe play like they did against county, that would do it! just gutted I dinna have the sky sports to re-watch the game, and no YouTube highlights either! Spiffle and their soul selling....

Very ordinary match. But picking up a point against hearts? Yes please! The only thing more frustrating than the football, which I'll give them the benefit of the doubt-was down to the weather conditions, was the crappy attitude of the fans. Very little positive encouragement, but after any poor touch or loss of possession torrents of abuse! Supporters are their to support, surely?? understandably frustrating, but come on guys, a wee bit more positivity during the games...keep the negativity for on here!
