You'd have to fight Mrs Mac for that privilege Connie

caleyboy, I have a question for you........if the U-21 rule didn't exist would Dale be one of Brews choices?

Maybe so Sir C but I can name at least three first div teams who would pay him better than ICT.

What about ICT BRIG-ENDERS or HOWDEN-ENDERS at the BRIG or KINGSMILL CREW RESURRECTED or maybe even THE TIN SHED TROUPE

Nice one c4l. Good to know that youngsters still make things. Have you thought about where you're going to display this banner.

Theres a lot more than just gate reciepts. Advertising, cup runs, sponsorship. I believe they also recieve some funding from the Clach club. It all adds up. As for the rent, is it not based on recouping the money the club was baled out by in the past. Yngwie, Fort William appear to manage on gates of around 100 and also pay rent for Claggan park. SMEE, I dont think the debt was spirited away. The stadium trust took over the stadium and its debt. The rental ICT pay to the trust, I believe, covers the costs of the stadium and the loan payments. What the trust hold is a stadium as collateral against the debt. Also I think David Sutherland is guarantor so if the payments aren't made he becomes liable. I agree with CD that Clach are an important part of the city and wouldn't like to see them go to the wall but public money cannot be thrown at them willy nilly. We, as football fans, may not mind quite so much but the majority of local taxpayers wouldn't agree, especially when they see the services that are closer to their hearts affected by cutback.

We have the longest name in british, and possibly european, football and should be proud of that. And before anyone starts searching NAC Breda doesn't count. I'd change all the seats in the north stand for red and black ones :001:

I think that if any other Inverness team wanted / could sustain entry into HL they wouldn't have too much problem gaining entry. There's an odd number of teams in it as it is.

Could it be that Bazz requested to go down sat morning instead of friday night?

...................................and my tongues firmly in my cheek :tic01: We take over Grant St. Demolish the Merkinch flats. We build a super wee stadium and training facilities and we let Clach stay provided they play their games at 12:00 on a saturday. THE STORY IS HERE Seriously though, its sad when things come to this. Fault with the board somewhere along the way. Three years of arrears is just stupidity considering the council baled them out already

By then we'll be a clear third with nothing more to gain :tic01: :023: :003:

Basically what Morton are saying is we intend to keep this player so if you really want him then compensate us accordingly. We, on the other hand said, Rankin can go at the right offer.

Those players know what others at the club are earning. They also know what other clubs pay. It may not, altogether, be just about basic wage. I'm sure bonuses, length of contract etc all come into what is or isnt a good offer and that those players, at the age they are at, need to make hard and fast plans for their futures. As Russel say's in his interview, had the club started negotiations some time ago he, and the others, wouldn't be at a position of uncertainty now. I think what they are saying to the club is:- get your act together very quick or we're looking elsewhere to guarantee our futures. What I would say to Graham Bennett is 'treat the players with the same respect and loyalty as you expect them to show this club'. If you dont then you'll struggle to get players and the big dream will be dead.

Tis all about having patience, a bit of volume, and lots of fun Johnboy. Then you can use your fingers for clapping :003:

I'm sure that after the split we'll get the chance to see what they're really made of but I do wonder why none are given a chance. Does the manager and coaches know they're not up to it? Do they give their all and toe the line in training and of field? I wonder whether any youth would get a chance if the U-21 ruling was scrapped.

Why adopt the flag of another country. Design your own using all four colours. CaleyD has the rights of it but just not enough red and black :023: Red and blue seems to be coming to the fore as the predominant colours now and if colours are limited then printing becomes cheaper. Make it simple but make it stand out.

Alan changed his allegiance. Bridge-end G-Spot (touch it right and the whole stand trembles)

alot of people go to the innes and it's alright in there however it's a little out the way from town :020: Out Of The Way ? Hardly ! :o Minutes walk from the bus station. Wherever you guys decide on make sure to get the landlord on board from the beginning.

Its a pretty pattern as Johndo says but is actually a 4-5-1 with Blackie playing left mid, where I've seen him in the past do to great effect.

Fraser Proctor Munro Tokely Hastings Hart?/McBain Wilson Black Cowie Duncan Niculae Bench Zibi, Duff, Bayne, Wyness, Vigurs, A MacDonald, Patti

At the moment there's nowhere to store and display additional stock.

Dont think there's any teams out there who'd sign a 50 year old.

The fans get the point when they fire up the team to win.................but yes they made noise. Keep it up lads.

Not a chance. Not sure how you garnered this from watching the game on TV but I can assure you Proctor was far from our worst player today. He made some excellent tackles throughout the game and, although I am told he was the biggest culprit at the end, he did well in the middle of the back four. One out of five is acidulous. Disagree. I thought Marcus was well off the pace. We seldom created anything of note down the left all day. I made a point of watching that side Rig because I felt that without Hutton thats where we had a chance to break through. On quite a few occassions Patti got into open space but was not fed the ball. On at least three occassions he was in open space, screaming and waving but the ball was fed inside to the opposition.

1) ticket prices are too high (extortionate IMO) Give or take a quid or two there's no difference to any other SPL team 2) fans are unwilling to sit next to or share stands with oppposition fans (as is the case when the old firm are up) If home fans sat in the seat then it wouldn't be avsailabe to anyone else3) the somewhat arctic conditions that the fans are often subjected to. We live in a cold climate and should be used to it. 4) little confidence in the stewarding to deal with away fans in the home end. Same answer as 2 5) problems regarding parking at the ground which could be described as shambolic at times. Same problems at most stadia who provide parking. Lots dont. Wake up and smell the coffee. This is the real world.
