With regard to the Shimano shoes and pedals, I am pretty sure that the cleats came with the shoes when I bought them, NOT the pedals.
EDIT: Just checked - they came with the pedals, my bad.
But the cleats are included with the pedals from Wiggle

Hypothetically, were do people think Caley and Thistle would be today if they hadn't been cobbled together in 1994?
There's a lot of ifs and buts in the situation because - as far as I am aware - the HIE dangled a fair financial carrot in front of a merged ICT, and I am not sure that they would have done that in front of either Caley or Thistle as individual clubs.
I think Caley would have been the Invernesian team to progress into the SFL - they had the far better set-up of the three Inverness clubs at the time, and could easily have achieved much the same as the merged ICT did.
As for Thistle, I think they would have done ok in the Highland League as they had a decent set-up, certainly regularly mid-table - but then again, Clach do struggle (other than their one title win) despite being the only semi-pro side in Inverness - so maybe not?

Actually i just checked on the Inverness Amateur League website and Caledonian are nowhere to be found. However, Caley Shots have just won the 2nd division and there is also a Caley Inn.
Edited to say, oops, the tables date from 2006.
As far as I am aware, Caledonian play in the Welfare League, not the Amateur League, as they played Hopeman recently in the Welfare Cup.

Ok i'm just throwing this out there for curiosity: Does anyone know if the rights to the name "Caledonian" are owned by anyone?
I'm assuming, if there is an owner, it would be ICT.
I doubt that there would be any copyright on just 'Caledonian' but I would imagine that there is ownership of the name "Caledonian Football Club" and that probably lies with ICT.
SFA Rules dictate that you can't have another football team with an identical name to one from the past, but you can get around it by subtly changing the trading name. Hence Clach are officially "Clachnacuddin (1991) Ltd" or something like that and Deveronvale are now "Deveronvale 1994" legally.
There is a "Caledonian" playing in the Inverness Amateur or Welfare league though?

PENDANT ALERT: Perth and Aberdeen ARE within a 100 mile radius of Inverness. The quoted distances are road distances, not actual distances.

Sorry to move slightly off topic here but is there any truth in the following statement made by one of my teachers a few years ago.
"Like Rangers and Celtic and Hearts and Hibs, Caledonian and Thistle were Protestant and Catholic teams"
As far as I am aware, no. The only religious link that I can think of to the teams is that I think I once read that the land at Inverness Thistle's ground at Kingsmills was owned by the Church of Scotland?

Read this in the Record today:
Portuguese newspapers yesterday continued their smear campaign against the couple.One paper said the "scent of a corpse" had been found on trousers and a blouse belonging to Kate, and claimed that sniffer dogs had found "traces of death" on Madeleine's Cuddle Cat toy.
From that it's obvious that Cuddle Cat did it.

given the club has made little effort, beyond tacking the word Thistle onto the clubs name
I recall at the time of the discussions about the merger it was once proposed that the new club be called "Inverness Caledonian" - taking the "Caledonian" from Caledonian FC and "Inverness" from Inverness Thistle FC.
Strangely this proposal didn't find favour with those on the Thistle side of things.

Caley didn't die, but Thistle did!
Nope, they both died unfortunately. I don't care what the ICT fans chant - to most folk they are ICT or just plain old Inverness - either way they are a club that was borne out of the strangulation of two proud old clubs in a political battle. Another Franchise FC.
There is one hell of a gaping hole in the Highland League.

if the fans didnt want it, they wouldnt have voted for it.
I thought fans didn't vote for it though.
I thought the vote was won by the pro-merger lobby bringing in a raft of new members to vote in favour of the merger?

I miss Caley. They were one of the teams that made the HFL special and a trip to Telford Street or a visit from Caley were among the highlights of the season as you always felt it was a big game against a big club.
Although I like the inclusion of Wick Academy and Inverurie Locos in the HFL these days, these clubs haven't replaced the likes of Caley and Elgin City - and I think the HFL is a lot poorer as a result.
It's not the same anymore. Although what happened with the Caley and Inverness Thistle merger obviously affected you guys more than anyone as you actually lost your clubs, I think it was felt further afield through all fans of HFL fitba as well.
