IF ICT folded........

[PullMyFinger]

Elgin City, as that's where a lot of the locals in the current playing squad would probabaly end up if they were to blame for the collapse of ICT and I could shout lots of "encouragement at them".

Inverness City, only a matter of time until they'e in the SFL IMHO.

I know some lads that are planning running buses to City away games , would be like the Highland League days again :thumb04: :018:

I'm meaning 40 0r 50 lads going for a good day out to the football,like we did in the Highland league days.

Can that not be achieved following ICT on the road?

Meanwhile, back on topic!!!!!

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

Most of the lads were Caley fans and wouldn't be seen dead at TCS and would never support the club in any way . Not sure if you realise it but a lot of people view the ICT support as a joke , OAPs , kids and wifeys.

[SMEE]

WTF has that got to do with anything? are you saying only "men" can be proper fans?

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

Not saying that at all , merely pointing out why we wouldnt go to ICT games as no other fans take them seriously.

[SMEE]

Can you expand on that last post. I have never once thought about the relevance of the social standing of a teams fans before. Am i missing something? What is it that Inverness City fans (all 10 or so of them last i saw) have that makes them so appealing?

I think your deliberately missing the point here.

Its not the Inverness City fans that make them appealing its the fact its a new club and that old aquaintances can be " bumped into " again in places like elgin etc.

Maybe your not making yourself clear!

So...your not an ICT fan then, as your too embarrased by their support, as you percieve them as being viewed as a "joke" by other teams fans?

I couldn't say that there's any other team that I might end up supporting if ICT were to go out of existence. I only ever followed Caley and then ICT and wasn't one of those who had a "big team". I'm also not the kind of person who sits down to watch football just because there's a game on unless it's Scotland or ICT....although I might occasionally watch other Scottish games to get a look at the opposition.

I often wonder if i am a "fan", as i no longer contribute money to the cause. I did up until they got into the SPL, then went to the games i could afford and or manage to attend. Since Brewster took over, I havent been to ONE game. I am not gonna appologise for it....it is my decision. Another factor is, as i have mentioned on here over the years, ICT has never gotten under my skin the way Inverness Caledonian did. My support for them was never in question.

That said.....i listen to almost everygame on the radio and like to see them do well...if that makes me not a "fan"...its fine by me....water and ducks backs spring to mind!

Watching Scotland/other national team is a given but as far as club level goes I wouldn't "follow" anyone. I'd watch the games that have the potential to be a real spectacle but other than that I wouldn't go out of my way to see any particular teams games.

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

If your support for Caley was never in question then surely you must remember the feelings of togetherness there was on the buses to Buckie , Elgin etc? We'd beat them on and off the park and it made you feel a real part of your football club . I still meet up with lads i used to go to the games with and have a good laugh about the old days and the scraps we used to get into defending our team.

I was never really intrested in anything other than what went on on the pitch. I deemed that enuff to make me a fan
