  1. Its a fair walk from pubs to Alloa, Stirling Albion, Falkirk and Clyde. There are other grounds a fair distance from pubs but, like us, they have a bar at stadium.
  2. Rooney would likely have done very well at Birmingham but unfortunely a change of manager and a need to severely cut costs led to him being surpluss to requirement. From a newspaper at the time I read somewhere that the initial Swindon contract was supposed to be £8000 a week + living expenses. New owners decided this was too much for a league 1 player and tore it up. PFA were involved in dispute but Rooney decided not to continue pursuit and signed for Oldham, where he'd been training, instead.
  3. Had a look. You need to know all there is to know about players and team. Be able to track transfers and youth prospects at club. Have an interest in data editing.
  4. Not trying to be negative Krishima but its been tried and wasn't exactly a rip roaring success. It was probably be repeated at some point tho. I share Terry's frustrations but crowds are what they are unfortunately. Why wasn't it a success do you feel? I agree, I don't think there is a magic wand, and it's a niche expensive hobby in a small city, and I think the club is already very fair with kids and families. We all know that a lot of people in Inverness have previous allegiances to other SPL or Div 1 teams, which is up to the individual, but the problem there is often kids will follow the parents team. I think the more young kids get time coached by ICT the more likely they will be to form an attachment. It may be that it is grassroots. That is happening but it doesn't develop in a season or two. Takes years from getting the kids interested to them being in a position to afford to pay entry
  5. That would be a dream team though. Imagine the confusion among the opposition if we had ten outfielders who could play in any position and we chopped and changed them throughout the game.
  6. Dont think he did Joe. I certainly dont remember that one and its not the norm to delete anything without mods discussion first.
  7. Just one of not very many high value players to have played at TCS. Another now being James McCarthy at £13 million
  8. No. Latics were beaten 1-0 by Tranmere I thought that was Wigan's nickname? They both call themselves Latics. Apparently a shortened version of Athletic
  9. The subject of this thread asks who was the most valuable player to play at TCS. My contribution was Barry F who was valued at 7.5 million at one point in his career and he played at TCS. In fact he's even scored at TCS. Seems a sensible enough point to me.
  10. Your point is??
  11. Same can be said for other way around SP. There is no evidence to suggest that lowering prices would boost income. Prices are low for our home cup games and attendance is atrocious. Other clubs have tried incentives without result. People in the current climate are just not seeing football as their recreational interest any more.
  12. Barry Ferguson went from Rangers to Blackburn for £7.5 million
  13. I was on the train and the police decided on an alcohol ban because an additional load of irate Hearts fans would be on it. Talking to Transport Police it appears that a bus was, indeed, stopped and found not to be roadworthy and with no MOT so was put of the road. The driver may have been charged. As it transpired the bus load never made it to the train.
  14. I'm a pensioner
  15. Good lord mun. You just recovered from that day?
  16. I'm off to watch a non league team this weekend. Yep off to Hampden to watch non league Scotland play non league Belgium
  17. Yes but at what cost? Give discounts to one group of people and others want the same. Do we risk losing the support of the shop and hotel workers because they dont qualify for a discount?
  18. First off we didn't set the precedent. St Johnstone done it before us and like us they made money out of the gesture.
  19. Why? I'm sure the earnings of forces personell is no less than those who work in the low paid sectors of society and they dont get discounts.
  20. The problem is not that we built a stadium so close to the A9. The problem is the traffic lights on the roundabout. I thought they were temporary whilst work was carried out on the bridge. I've driven to stadium from south when we've been sellout and never experienced the levels of traffic queuing like they were on saturday. Someone blundered there.
  21. Personally I dont think Hearts will even be involved in play-offs. I believe they'll come good enough to make the top of the bottom half. St Mirren is hard to judge. Killie can't score to save themselves and County dont seem to be in it either yet.
  22. No. Latics were beaten 1-0 by Tranmere
  23. World Resources Institute or Womens Rural Institute?
  24. How do you know its a he ball? Could be a she.
  25. He was on loan at Swindon and had apparantly agreed a contract with them but new owners decided not to honour it. He has now signed for Oldham
