Ahhh! Cant believe im going to miss this!! What a fantastic idea! Hats, gloves, boots off to whoever organised this. Sounds like a great night. Exactly the kind of thing to attract fans!

[Hearach]

What is format here? Do we just sit in our usual seats or what?

[Alex MacLeod]

St Johnston are doing something similar. They are having an open day and charging adults and kids ?10 and ?5 respectively.

[MissICT]

Sounds good

day before my holiday.

so, are we talking about this free home 'fixture' being this.. or indeed the game at home to Ayr(?) 2nd week in.

[Sorted]

Great idea from both a commercial and "fan bonding" pesrpective. Club and Trust deserve credit for being proactive. No doubt there will be a succession of posters on shortly to say so..........

[Scotty]

Yep good move and one which deserves to be praised ....... whether its Butcher, the club, members of the supporters trust, or a combination of all three that has led to recent positive events or positive pr opportunities, long may it continue !!!

[MissICT]

Im going

You will be able to sit anywhere you like within the main stand

This started off with the Trust floating the idea of one of our usual "Fans Forum" type events before the season kicked off. It was then Mike Smith who took it to the next level and suggested we perhaps make it more interesting with an open training night and Terry Butcher who put the icing on the cake by saying he would get mic'd up so as to make the whole thing more interactive. Also, thanks go to Darren for being the one who's bringing it all together and doing the organising and of course George Fraser and the Board who gave the whole thing the green light.

So yeah, it's a real team effort that has brought this about and turned it from what might have been a good event into what should be a great event.

I just hope people show their appreciation by making the effort to attend.....if 80,000 can turn out for that what's his name....begins with an R!!!

This is a FREE event. No charge for anyone. All welcome. Bring your friends who might not have been to a game before and see if you can get them hooked. The more the merrier, it should be a great event and if it's well attended I'm sure it will be repeated in the future. I hope that the FREE stadium tours will prove popular.

Why is there always someone looking for a catch.

Should have said you have to turn up for painting on Saturday morning to guarentee a seat.

It's a great idea - costs the club little, the fans even less, but creates the sort of goodwill money can't buy.

Sounds like fun

[MissICT]

I've managed to get a fan and her family on board hopefully she will spread the caley word

I wonder given the date if this will also be a launch of the new away strip? Just a thought.

The club shop is open that night so hopefully. Maybe the team will be wearing it to train on the night

It would be a good place to launch the new top.

The longer they wait to release it the less money they will get when they need it.

[BornCaley]

Im going to make the effor of a trip up the A9 for this.
