Pre merger if a mob was coming to Inverness to play any of the teams a "welcoming committee" would have been on hand to greet them , the committe would have been made up of fans of all 3 Inverness sides . No way would Elgin have been allowed to swagger about our town taking the p!ss at will .

Sad day indeed if that was the case. You'd think the younger generation would get their act together. Not as if there is a shortage of headers in the town.

Was speaking to a few older headers ( ex ICI ) yesterday who were disgusted at the way Elgin had the run of the town on Saturday , was talk of an ICI reunion if it had gone to a replay .

You think they would have seen that coming. Elgin must be p!shing themelves at what Inverness football fans have become.

The NoS Cup is not a senior national competition. As you pointed out, we played our resrve/squad/u19 players, like we do every year in this competition.

This was the first time since ICT were formed that we have played Elgin City in a national competition full stop.

Their money was welcome though.

Revenue for Cup fixtures is shared is not?

Aye, but a tenner each from 1200 Elgin fans is a lot better than if we had Hamilton or Alloa at home, plus whats declared is always underestimated.

Firstly, its not a Highland derby because Elgin is not in the Highlands.

Elgin is in the Highlands.

It is not situated in the council area known as Highland, but it is in the Scottish Highlands which is classed as being anywhere north of the Highland Boundary Fault.

Have you never wondered why the Highland League is called so despite having only 4 clubs from the Highland Council area?

Geography in Inverness schools not too great then?

As i understand it Elginfan is correct, Bounday wise it doesnt fall under the Highlands, but Geographically speaking, Elgin and even Aberdeen are in the "Scottish Highlands"......or something along that lines
