my tuppence worth on ICT....support your local teams or you'll loose them.
My first love will always be the horrible toffees but my family have supported the dandies through thin and thinner.
It's my local btw.
You can see it from my house...Cove is the otherside of town.

It's sad to see but probably we'll be seeing a few more clubs going through this in the near future, the product is poor in Scotland which isn't helped by the pittance that is generated through sponsorship and TV money to sustain clubs, which in turn leaves them with little to invest in improving the quality of player and their facilities.

Too many clubs arguement? though you would think Inverness have a decent captive population to attract?

I'll be dragging myself to watch my ' local team' tonight, does feel like a bit of a chore at the moment tbh!! 😕
You going next Wednesday?

I'm working mate.
Unfortunately.

Ross County amazes me ..Dingwall is tiny and I guess being 12 miles from Inverness any football lovers might've opted for ICT 30 years ago.

Lot of support in the NE for the dandies, Celtic and your lot ,which dilutes any potential support.

Livi seem to have lost support over the years .
Hamilton have hardly anyone.

But too many teams?
Too many clubs ambitionless maybe.
But look at Cove and Peterhead, they ran up the leagues and the crowds hardly followed.

A lot of Cove fans and Formatine / Locos are just ex dandies pished off with them.

Yeah Ross County seem to be a very well run club, punching way above their weight.

Aberdeen could fill Pittodrie every week if they could finally find a high level of consistency.
Is this new boss it?
If they can deal with us and them in the cup game coming up then we'll have to start taking you lot serious!!

Hear some are even mooting for Thelin to be a possible replacement for Clement!! 😳

Yeah jimmy is being spoken about ,media outlets, mainly.
He's got something, for sure.
But let's give him go here first, and remember 20k compared to close on 50k wanting success is the measure of men v boys

3 clubs in the Falkirk district, Falkirk, Stenhousemuir and East Stirling although the latter is now in the lowland league they still have aspirations for getting back in Div.2 and let's not forget it's where Fergie started his managerial career.
We also have Alloa and Stirling Albion nearby it's madness.

It surprised me that County have the bigger ground with Dingwall being so small but maybe due to the history. County have had nearly a 100 years to build a fan base across the Highlands, where some may have been put off by the amalgamation that created ICT.

Unbelievable effort from the Rangers...

Played well in spells, it's amazing the difference when in europe and the play is very open with both teams set up to be positive,far more enjoyable to watch rather than suffering the usual 10 men behind the ball stuff, with us struggling to find a way to break them down and then getting caught with a sucker punch that has to be endured in the league week in and week out!!

Connor Barron has settled into the team well, his energy, determination and workrate has been outstanding, going to be a big player for us as he develops.

Dessers on the other hand...😡
