Highland Capital Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 1 hour ago, jagfox99 said: Heard on Saturday this was a sell out? Good effort. I'll probably be putting a draw on my weekend coupon... What I've heard was that by last Saturday, Caley Thistle only had 22 tickets left to sell, but were going to try and get a couple hundred more. I assume they mean that seating where the gazebo used to be (bring it back!). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 The Caley selling out ticket allocations is pretty standard anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Westander of County Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I for one will take more pleasure in Caley Thistle losing than in County winning. Hoping for our recently reshuffled team to perform well over both halves, with hat tricks for 3 different County players. And a bike and a train set 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Caley support do tend to put petty pretences aside in favour of contributing to the spectacle. It's a shame that the compliment doesn't seem to be returned these days and I only hope that the final derby fixture of the season and a quirk of scheduling might allow for the opportunity for Roy County to win the league in Inverness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If historical facts are too heavy, perhaps it's a good thing that the game falls on a Saturday this year and those that would otherwise boycott a Sunday fixture can feel free to attend. It does perturb me that in modern Scotland bigoted institutions are patronised and whereas they don't seem to be prospering, they do rather persist. 10 hours ago, CountyFan said: I'd rather an imperialist inception than a cut and paste one. What's all this about then? Another example of the state broadcaster keeping the truth from the populace? I just assumed, like most people, that County were formed by (ahem) a merger of Victoria and Thistle, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Credit to John Robertson. He's got a squad mostly filled with absolute dross (Polworth, Donaldson, and Tremarco aside) sitting fourth and they've raised their game in both fixtures against County this season. I expect they'll do so again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank22 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I heard Polworth, could be signing a pre contract in the new year but I've never been that impressed by him whenever I've seen him play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 When he plays as a number 10 or a bit deeper, Polworth is a good player who could (and has) played in the Premiership. For some reason though, our last three managers seem desperate to turn him into a winger, which *really* doesn't suit him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear this could be the game where County are able to show us what their massive financial backing should really have allowed them to show long before now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hoping this will be Midge's first full game back, we look far better balanced with Mullin down the right and Midge on the left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I watched the highlights of Tiffoney running at the ICT defence from Morton's left flank before scoring, I immediately thought of Gardyne carrying off that kind of dribble. Does Stewart deserve to be dropped though, after scoring last weekend? I'd put Gardyne back in. Stewart still has a lot to learn about what positions he should be taking up, but he is still a nuisance. I agree with @StoneThrowAway re Polworth, the last derby was the first time I saw him in the flesh since his red card in that 4-0 rout a couple of seasons ago. I thought he was a level above his team-mates. A transformed player from before. Edited December 27, 2018 by bunglebonce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy4life Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Just had a look on the interactive ticket map there - 92 tickets left in the home end so they've decided to open the North East Stand Extension to home fans. Caley have sold 1,164 tickets so just under half of the allocation but I imagine they'll be a lot turning up on the day. Looks to be a healthy crowd anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
