ICT - Did You Know

[Guest TinCanFan]

I thought it would be a good idea to start an "ICT - Did you know" page.  Does anyone have any strange or little known true facts about the Caley Jags?

[CaleyD]

Yes

[Joonya]

... that the NPL was started by gringo and myself travelling to and from coventry on the train. the prize was ?1 to the winner each week

[Guest macgint71]

was the pitch at TCS not longer than the pitch at the old Wembley

[CaleyD]

TCS was at one stage the largest pitch in Scotland (think it still might be) and maybe even in the UK.

[tm4tj]

the pitch at old Wembley is no longer :017:

[caley100]

The train track between Clachnaharry and Bunchrew is longer than the pitch at TCS.

[The Mantis]

the pitch at old Wembley is no longer :017:

That's what we're trying to tell you. It's shorter.

[+Gringo]

The water that was drained from the Telford Street pitch was bottled and sold as Caledonian Spring!  :001:

[gordyfromsneck]

Of the ICT Parkhead Heroes side four are still wih the club. However, only one has not been away.

Caley Thistle once had a top class keeper called Mark who was kidnapped and has never been seen since

Ross Tokely was a central midfielder a la Blackie when he signed for us from Huntly as a 17-year-old. He was originally played in that position, though he suffered a back injury in only his second game for us, a pre-season friendly away to Peterhead in the Buchan Cup, which ruled him out for the remaining pre-season. Can't remember exactly when he switched to RB, but must have been around the time Iain MacArthur (who was a fantastic RB and would easily get into our first team if he were playing now) had to give up through injury.

 

[Kingsmills]

The club has the longest name in British senior football.

[KingBeastie]

Rossco is the only player in Scotland to play with one club in all four divisions without having left the club and resigned (**** hastings).

Out main stand has the quietest supporters in world football.

Our stewards are direct desendants of Adolf Hitler.

Our supporters forum has more moderators than the church of Scotland  :004:

That might not be true anymore - there's probably some overpaid, mileson subsidised gretna player who might qualify

Barry Wilson scored the last British senior goal of the last millenium and the first of this one.

[Charles Bannerman]

Barry Wilson scored the last British senior goal of the last millenium and the first of this one.

I believe Barry also performed the same feat at the previous millennium change!  :015:

And Ross Tokely has also worn every shirt number from 1 (yes 1) to 11 bar I THINK number 9.

[Govan Jaggie]

You could you give the thread a new title and call it ICT - Do You Know:

Then ask, What Mike Smith does? :symbol_question:

[chris123]

Ross Tokelys original birthplace is a small planet called Kypton

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

In nearly 11 years of existence we have had only 5 different people Manage the Club. The first two were called Steve, the next was a John and the last two were the Proclaimers.

Our current Assistant Manager shares his surname with an Orkney malt whisky.

We build South stands faster than any other Club on this planet.

We cannot beat Partick in the Scottish Cup but they cannot beat us in the Court of Session.

Our ground is just a few feet from the sea yet Tommy has a special remedy to keep seagulls away resulting in recognition as a top Groundsman.

We have achieved more with significant numbers of Ross County players than they have.

We have the longest distance from pub to stadium of any cub in the world apart from some Arab nations

[Guest TinCanFan]

When one of the stands behind the goals was being built the builders accidently spelt Inverness INERVNESS.

Would that be Krypton by any chance

Superman is born Kal-El on the alien planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth.

maybe Ross ToKal-Ely really is the real thing
