    I didn't know Clach were originally meant to be part of ICT, I'm kinda glad they didn't as Scottish football is better off having a team with the amazing name "Clachnacuddin"

    ICT fan here. Well researched and presented video. The club is a complete shambles and even with Morrison and Gardiner gone and the kelty deal scraped trying to get info from the club is like getting blood from a stone. At this point i think administration is a cert but we were prepared for that when we stated we wanted the move scrapped and the CEO gone. Uf we have to go back to league 2 or the highland league so he it. As long as we get our club back. I'd rather seenus go part time and rebuild

    Hiya Callum, I like these vlogs, its a shame they couldn't relocate to Kelty Hearts, like you say there would of been uproar, its good Inverness didn't go to the wall like some of the Glasgow teams in the Scottish Cup vlog, that you done, it was like that when Gretna had to go to Motherwell for there home games, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

    Caley Thistle have always struggled with poor support and low attendances. I remember when they finished 4th in the SPL under Terry Butcher - he commented the City 'didn't deserve' the team. They averaged only 4,000 that season. Perhaps it's easier to believe you are a 'fallen giant' than to accept you never were one in the first place.

    • @CallumBlyth
      @CallumBlyth  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      The low attendances are a hangover from the original merger. Many fans of both Caledonian and Thistle refused to go see the new team. They’ll have had children who would then go on to support Rangers or Celtic probably.

      An average attendance of 4,000 means 1 in 11 of the population of Inverness were going to support their local team. That is a very good rate.

    Rise and Fall but its not over Yet... As long as there is a club then we can and I am sure ICT will eventually start climbing leagues again even if they possibly have to do it from bottom league next season if in all likely looks like it will be from, they won't be the first club to go from top to bottom and back up.

  • @stockportlad8560
    @stockportlad8560 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video, mate! Thought you may be interested to know that the idea of the training being based in Fife, believe it or not, isn't an ICT creation...! I don't know if they still do it now they are a full time Football League club but Barrow suffer from the same issue Caley do in that it is a bit of an outpost and many players don't want to move there to play football so they moved their training to Manchester to attract more players from much higher population centres like Manchester and Liverpool and travelled up to the games on a team coach as if it was an away match.

    I wonder if inverness will move from being st Johnstone sized, to queen of the south sized, as of lack of money, but even then, thats not too bad for a club far from the central velt, but sometimes thats a advantage to be far from the central belt, like your further from places other fans could wstch home games at, so a more captive market.
