Winston Ingram Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Can only concur. Brilliant news for the social calendar!!! One potential downside: seem to remember JJ having a brutal record up there when with Killie! But, for the meantime- ROLL ON JOHNNY FOXES!!

Del1812 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 don't think Motherwell have been relegated for many years. sadly. Pretty sure he's thinking of the time that Motherwell finished bottom under Butcher in 2003 (I think) but were saved from relegation due to the fact that Falkirk were denied entry into the SPL because their stadium didn't meet the requirements (10,000 capacity).

123kid Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 As an Embra exile living in Inverness, ill be there a couple a times next season then.

Guest juvehearts Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 what are the odds that dundee & the remaning other 4 teams in their slots are also promoted & a radical shake up of the Scottish leagues are formed with the SPL & SFL reverting back into SFA control & every-one gets along Dumfries on a wed night anyone?? juve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Rex Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'd suggest a team that plays in green has bounced straight back after that. Dunfermline did it the season after the tramps, and it seems that was the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeToonJambo Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Must be one of the coldest grounds tho... That's the only problem I have. Howling gales that, to paraphrase Graham Rix, "Even Barcelona couldn't play in that wind", and freezing cold. I remember a 0 - 0 draw (there were a few of them) when, every time Craig Gordon kicked the ball, it ended up in the main stand. I've never felt so cold at a game as I did that day. Having driven 6 hours to get there then 6 hours to get home again I said, "Never again". Of course the following season I was there again, another 0 - 0 and freezing cold with howling gales. Despite all that, congratulations to Inverness and, Yes, I'll be there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Many congrats to Inverness. Don't mind them as a club. That's my problem with them - I have no feeling towards them of hate or love, although I think they got all Tartan Army on us after Miko worked his Hampden magic. Would have preferred Dundee: bigger game, bigger away crowd at Tynie, more 'banter', more chance of a decent atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Winstone Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I think there is still a 12am curfew in force in Inverness. Meaning you can't get in anywhere after 12am so you have to pick a place and stay put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you don't have to turn punters away now? It has certaily made life a little easier. The curfew was pointless because all it did was create a load of pi$$ed off punters at 2am and then at 3am when the clubs emptied as normal you had the exact same problem as you had before the curfew came into force. It also encouraged people to stay in one place and drink more - there was no reason to get fresh air or sober up slightely between pubs and clubs.

i8hibsh Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 From a social point of view - good times, however let's stick to a football point of view if I may Inverness Caledonian Thistle offer the square root of feck all to what is already a poor league. The likelihood is that we are going to lose a Killie, St Mirren or Falkirk and gain an ICT. In the case of ICT, it is miles away, their stadium is a complete and utter dump and they have next to zero fans. How, I ask can this be "good"?

willie wallace Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Would have preferred Dundee.Bigger team,better crowds,easier to to get to away games and more importantly a bit of an edge to the games.Inverness matches do not hold the same appeal for me.

Boomstick Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I am delighted about Inverness Caledonian Thistle Football Club coming up. I hope that over the next few seasons we also get Dundee, Dunfermline and Raith Rovers up. That's seven (nine if you count caley & aberboak) teams from the east of Scotland. Apart from the two in brackets as well that's some easy away games for transport too. I don't really care much for any of the teams (well Caley will always have a space in my heart) but would be nice to lose Killie, Falkirk, St. Mirren & Kilmarnock.

stirlo Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Great to see ICT come back up at the first attempt. Away trips to Inverness are the best in the SPL without a doubt. Apart from the whole day out, there's something special about the location of their stadium. The Moray firth behind the main stand, the Kessock bridge along the opposite touchline and the view of that huge hill towering above the stand opposite where the away fans sit. It must have the most spectacular backdrop of any stadium in the UK. Makes a change from visiting places like Darkheid and Fir Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Do you hate them that much No! They're actually the only ones on the list that I don't really have anything for. I just wish they had something to play for other than mid table mediocrity. With the exception of St. Johnstone every single team in the bottom six needs a solid boot up the arse. It's just unlucky for S. J that the arse fell out of hibs' season a bit later than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
