Just been looking at crowd figures through all the leagues and there's a definite pattern. 1st season in SFL decent crowds averaging maybe 2,000. Cant be bothered doing the maths. Following season drops off quite a bit. Novelty's worn of. Then its the run to the league title and the crowds rise again. As they do for first season in Div2. Then they dwindle again till the run to the Div 2 title. Good crowds for 1st season in Div 1 then dwindles till the run to the div 1 title. Good gate for first couple of seasons in SPL then drops of a little each season. The blip brought about a bit of a drop that never really recovered much. I'd wager that if we get to a final and if we finish top three many will emerge out of the woodwork (or shadows) to follow us again for a time. The above is just observations. I may make comment about merger but, to be honest, it doesn't really mean too much to me. I stopped watching football in my teens and never really got back into it till the end of the nineties. And even then it was Brockville I went to now and again.

I wasn't sure if that was actually written on the original LSM's or has this person doctored it.

Novelty factor. Giant killing possibility. Just like County's 20,000 to Hampden. We will not take 5500. I go with Rene on this one. May be boosted by a few Hibee's wanting to see Hearts get a thumping but thats about it.

In Glasgow supporting their true love.

Not a fact at all - just an opinion! And my opinion is that Caley, on their own could have done just as well as ICT have - possibly better because they wouldn't have had the merger baggage. As the only Scottish League team in Inverness they would have attracted just as much investment as ICT have and would have made it into the SPL in a similar timescale, attracting larger crowds as they progressed. Don't believe me? Look at Ross County!! No comparison. ICT have stayed, barring one blip, in the top league for near a decade. Compare when and if RC can do the same.

Fact.....had any one of those teams gone it alone and been accepted into Scottish league system they'd probably still be a part time team wallowing in among the Brechin's, Montrose's and East Stirling's with, maybe, the odd foray into Div 2. As a part time team with a few hundred fans there would not have been the money to get us where we are now.

We cant get 4000 home fans to a league game at home. What chance of that many travelling to ER.

The North or Famous Five stand is a two tiered structure. This stand holds almost 4000. I'd imagine only the bottom tier will be open. Looks like they must be expecting 15000 Hearts fans.

It was Boxing day Mun In the Innes IHE said to me Do you want anither one And then he sang a song Fuelled up with Mountain Dew And the whole bar joined the song Of the famous ICT Got in a minibus Down to the Longman Road I've got a feeling This years the one to see So Happy Christmas We love you Caley Jags We can see a better time When all our dreams come true We've got Tony Riguero Warren Raven and Jones Aaron Doran runs rings round the Paisley defence When McKay gets the ball There's a bulge in the net And the fans are excited, a win they can sense They were stylish They were skillfull True kings of the football When the game started playing Fans howled out for goals As Shinnie was shimmying All the fans they were singing You scumbags from Paisley Then they danced through the night And the boys of the section E North Stand will sing on boxing day And the Buds will travel home having lost the game.

Could have been an interesting page but its destroyed by the Rangers saga. To me the guy will always have a big chip on his shoulder and he's now carrying the bitterness of the marraige into the blinkered view that RFC have been put down by every non Rangers person.

Bob this is being discussed in 'Any Other Football so I'll close this thread.

Kevs too young to know what a carry on film is.

What page?

Dargo had 31 goals from 62 starts with us at SPL level.

Because some of what he/she puts into that article is written to put Inverness folk down. Inverness is nearer Faroes than London. Whats the relevence of that. Newcastle is nearer to Inverness than it is to London as the crow flies. Inverness is the most remote city? How do you interperate 'remote'. To me 'remote' is somewhere very difficult to get to. "Due to its location and the sparseness of the population" What because its location is north east Scotland and not Essex? A small city with a population in excess of 60,000 can hardly be termed sparse. Sparse is the population of Wester Ross or Lochaber even. Cant really describe the city of Inverness as sparse. The use of certain words and phrases are there to belittle the city of Inverness. Nothing to do with Whisky battlefields and monsters. The attempt is to belittle the city. That's some chip Alex..................live and let live. It's all in the interpretation.........and the size of the chip. Are you still upset about Culloden? No chips on me mate...........as for Culloden, they got what they deserved. Had they not been so stupid as to listen to yon traitor Campbell they'd have continued the march from Derby and taken London. Incidently I'm 3/4 MacDonald 1/4 MacLeod.

Its a fans football forum ffs. Take it with a pinch of salt. 300k......way too low for a player destined to play european football next season.

According to the BBC site, Gary Warren has as many goals this season as Tade . I believe Tades scored 4 this season but to give him a little credit he has assisted in a few.

And the winners are....in no particular order Yngwie Charles Bannerman Crownjaggy Not only did the bring inspiration to this thread by correctly predicting who should win it but went that bit extra and pushing themselves to the limits actually predicted who would win it. As there's only room for one trophy you'll have to come to agreement to share it.
