If ICT were an English club

[TopSix]

With the cup upsets last night, it got me thinking on the train back to Edinburgh. If ICT were an English club, which club would we be? I was thinking we're pretty similar to West Brom. Waaaay to big for the Championship, but a little lacking in resources for the Premier League. Purely hypothetical and comes from a little too much thinking after that tanking last night. Who would you compare us to and why?

[ICTPaisley]

Yeah i would say your right in terms of in the middle of the 1st/championship and the SPL/Premier League. Although unlike West Brom we haven't really been yo-yoing up and down the leagues that much just yet.

[ICTPaisley]

Either that or Man Utd as we like a wee change in the line up for cup matches.

[WeAreSPL]

Chelsea - only better.

[lukemackay]

we're to good for england

It did say "if ICT were an English club" so I was alluding to the same players, fans, manager, coaches and backroom staff (minus the muppets as a swap for me millionaire mate and his lads ), standing on the terraces, no OTT stewarding, the bar open throughout and OK the scoreboard.

Putting aside the absurdity of the thread title, it can only be Newcastle United who, like us, were relegated from the top flight last year and came straight back up this year.

Come to think of it, that's probably the first time an English club and Scottish club have both bounced straight bacvk up in the same year. Surely this calls for some sort of twinning arrangement!

Agreed and also the fact that we're the most northern club in the top flight.........

Along with the legendary nightlife of both cities

We seem to have a lot in common with Newcastle United, but I vaguely remember talk a few years ago about some sort of arrangement between Newcastle and the hated Elgin City! This was based on the rather flimsy common ground that both teams wore vertical black and white stripes. Wonder what happened to that arrangement.

Aye, Newcastle United - great club, great support, but for years they've suffered from brigands, charlatans and chancers at the highest level and never seem to get the leadership they deserve - I'm talking about the Board here, not the team management.

Yes, we have got a lot in common!

They too have a Bridge and a Castle

Nonsense unlike newcastle we've won a trophy (or two!) in the last 50 years.

Although like The Toon some of our fans do tend to over-react at times.

[Renegade]

What about Crystal Palace? Similar shirts, similar badge, and sometimes, should do better.

Nonsense , in the last 50 years Newcastle have won the Intertoto cup ,and 3 times have been winners of the Championship / 2nd division .

After a quick search I see NUFC have also won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup the Anglo-Italian Cup the Kirin Cup and the Texaco cup (twice) in the last 50 years
