There are so many knock on effects/unanswered questions/unintended consequences
What player looks at this scenario and thinks, "That's the club for me" (and reliance on loan players is what caused this mess, so no benefit there). Sends the message of being inferior.
What happens when there is adverse weather in Inverness for a 'home' game, and a ground inspection in the morning? Will there be a desire from the 'home' side to travel?
Every game will be an away game, for the players and coaching staff
In cup games, the players will be crossing fingers for an 'away' tie (hardly the mindset) and eventually come to resent the trips to Inverness
Kelty will be able to know everything about the club, the players, the tactics
What happens if Kelty have more injuries, or their manager suddenly doubles training sessions - will ICT be sidelined?
What happens when there are postponements, call offs, replays, bad weather, etc - who gets priority for the best facilities when there's clashes?
Any goodwill for the 'battery farm' idea is finished - the argument is lost in terms of "community".
All the coaches, physios, and other auxiliary staff related to players will (likely) need to be based in central belt - will there be any need for full-time staff at the stadium (or will they share Kelty's staff?)
Given the planning 'issues', how well thought through is the contractual agreement- what happens if Kelty terminate the agreement? And how long is it for? Will players sign contracts that commit to moving to Inverness if needed?
But the main one is that County will now have complete legitimacy to be seen as the only destination for all up and coming youth in the Highlands and Islands. And Inverness's image and identity as a Highland club is just thrown away literally overnight, "delightedly".
