Hopefully we get a class kit next season. Not a massive fan of the kits this season, home one is nice, but the away one is a bit meh. Something on a different design front would be nice, something unique in terms of design, maybe a throwback kit would be nice.

I disagree. I love the away kit and hope we retain it.

I suspect that the season will start with a limited number of fans in grounds but, assuming things go well, back to something much closer to normal, including the ability to purchase a pie and a coffee, by the turn of the year.

Still an outside chance that we could be back in the Premiership if we can maintain and build on the current run of results if not necessarily form.

Against Scotland tonight, the Israel keeper is wearing the ICT pink away shirt (but with a different badge, of course).

Love the strips this year and the pink away strip seems lucky unlike the black strip wasn’t lucky at all and made them look like eleven refs running around!  I know luck has nothing to do with football really but anything helps nowadays.

Is that the normal start? Always thought it was the first weekend in August

It's a little earlier than the 2019/20 season from what I could find.

The first league game has typically been the first weekend in August in recent seasons, so this is pretty consistent.

Will be an interesting kit if we go with that design next season

Nice touch, would like to see how it looks on our shirt

[+CaleyHedgehog]

Just the thought of going to see a LIVE game again gives me goosebumps - personally I'd love to see the Caley Pinks in action. Roll on the new normal!

[Robert]

Presumably we will have a new look given the sale:

Bit disheartened reading this, considering we never got an away day across the border. Would've much preferred it if they'd scrapped the Colts.

A bit more detail here:

It’s not a surprise given the pandemic, but I’m pleased to see greater involvement for Highland and Lowland League clubs.

We enter at the second round.

 

[Kingsmills]

Greater representation of Highland and Lowland League teams is most welcome.

Reserve of Youth teams of Premiership clubs though should have no place in this tournament.

[Jack Waddington]

Apparently Lyndon Dykes was doing one on one training up here ahead of the Euros...despite living and playing in London. Have the club offered out facilities to members of the Scotland squad or something?

Also, judging by the fact Neil and Robbo are there, and it was posted an hour ago, which I doubt would've been left in drafts for so long, so taking a guess that something's changed since the interview, Neil's become the prime candidate for the hot seat...

Yes, must be true that McCann will be the new manager.

Plus we have signed Lyndon Dykes to replace Toddy. 

100% believable both scenarios.  

Looking forward to 21/22 season now for sure plus I'll buy 10 season tickets.

Interesting that just the home strips are on sale. Perhaps keeping the pink? Apparently one of our most popular strips ever.

Next season Blue top, white shorts and red socks with a black stripe

Dunno where you're pulling that one from. Never came close to mentioning him signing on

Quite agree about the involvement of the Colts teams Jack but I was never a fan of including clubs from the other countries. It was a bit of a novelty but I thought it tended to devalue the tournament, despite the quality of the teams taking part. It is after all a Scottish tournament and think the addition of the Lowland and Highland league clubs is an improvement.

He's not on the dole. He's employed by QPR.

I can’t write in Korean, so this will need to do!

The Betfred Cup is now the Premier Sports Cup, with the draw next Friday.

Hopefully we are allowed into the games when the cup starts.

Just 7 weeks to go until competitive games start again.

Kit reveal tomorrow morning  

[Jack Waddington]

Away kit looks...Interesting.

Could've done a LOT more to make it not look like a futuristic bus seat...
