So played everyone outwtih Celtic and Moterwell, in the last 8 years - First game vs Cove this year

 

Played more than half of all league teams in last 3 seasons, more than 75% in last 4 seasons

Unsure why you insist on keeping these scored out teams in the list and haven't added new actual professional league teams but anyway...

I've only been adding teams in when we actually play them in either league or cup which is why I haven't added in in Kelty or Bonnyrigg as of yet. Of those you have scored out (with the exception of Wrexham), there is every chance we could draw them again in the Scottish Cup. And as the majority are licensed a few could be in the league shortly

Updated for another season. Yet again avoided playing Celtic and took the time span since we did up towards 33 years. Other than Bonnyrigg Rose, who we have never played, Stirling Albion are next longest at more than 12 years but their promotion means we'll play them next season. If we avoid Forfar in the cups they will become 2nd longest gap ignoring Bonnyrigg. We have played Spartans a couple of times in our history so though they immediately get installed 5th in the active list, it's only about a decade since we did actually play them. For what it's worth, the other past meeting with them, in December 1992, is still more recent than our last game with Celtic!

Due to our boomeranging around the leagues of late and a couple of cup draws , the only teams we haven't played since 2018 are

Stirling Albion - 2011

Annan - 2010

Elgin / Edinburgh  / Bonnyrigg / Spartans- never

 

 

updated for forthcoming season, would be nice to get one of the bottom 4 in the league cup but looking forward to Airdrie and Stenny as usual.

Updating my post from Aug 2016 on page 8, edits in red:

 

Situation for ICT is obviously different but quite interesting (to me at least ) .

This is all off the top of my head though so not guaranteed.

ICT have met (and beaten) every SPFL team competitively since 1994, except Bonnyrigg, although Annan were a non-League side when we got our record 8-1 win in 1998. Have played FC Edinburgh but at Ainslie Park. Also met all the ex-league clubs Berwick, Brechin, Cowdenbeath, Shire , Gretna*.

We have met every club in a League match except Dumbarton, Kelty, Peterhead, Elgin, Berwick, Annan and FC Edinburgh.

we have never visited Dumbarton, Annan,  Bonnyrigg, Meadowbank or Elgin in a competitive match. Have won everywhere else except Berwick and Stranraer.

After formation ICT spent 3 years in div 3, 2 years in div 2, 5 years in div 1 then every other year except 2009-10 in the top league. Relegated in 2016-17 and been in the Championship since.

In 98-99, Steve Paterson's side scored in all 36 league matches.

From 4/4/98 to 29/12/01, ICT went 160 matches without a 0-0.

Between 28/11/09, losing 2-1 at Partick in Div 1, and 2/1/11, losing 1-0 at St Johnstone in the SPL,  ICT were undefeated on the road in the league. 

Our first ever opponents East Stirlingshire are the first club to be relegated from the SPFL.

Our most overdue opponent is Montrose, 25/7/2009, in the Challenge Cup.

I have seen ICT at 55 different grounds but have still to see them at Annan, Peterhead, Elgin, Meadowbank, Bonnyrigg and Dumbarton.

Edited June 29, 2023 by The Mantis

[CM.]

Taking inspiration from David's post on the last page, I believe this is our updated list.

22/23 - Dunfermline, Falkirk, Airdrie, Alloa, QOS, FC Edinburgh, Montrose, Kelty Hearts, Peterhead, Hibernian, Bonnyrigg Rose, Morton, Falkirk, Dumbarton, Elgin, Hamilton, East Fife, Annan.

21/22 - Cove Rangers, Queens Park, Stranraer, Kilmarnock.

20/21 - Partick Thistle, Ayr, Forfar, St Johnstone.

19/20 - Raith Rovers, Arbroath, Inverness CT, Stirling, Celtic.

18/19 - Motherwell.

17/18 - Stenhousemuir.

15/16 - Livingston.

14/15 - Spartans, Rangers.

08/09 - Dundee, Ross County.

07/08 - Dundee Utd.

05/06 - St Mirren.

99/00 - Hearts.

91/92 - Aberdeen.

Last season saw a first meeting since 00/01 with Hibernian and Spartans slot in at 14/15 after dumping us out the Scottish Cup that year.

Including friendlies I think I've seen QoS 1st team play at 75 different grounds (including 2 different ICT grounds). If its limited to competitive I'm not certain how many, would take some work to split. At least another 3 grounds with the Reserves too.

I have at various times in my life had the complete set of SPFL opponents away from home then someone moves ground or gets promoted and it drops again. I'm currently one short, we've never played at Bonnyrigg (fingers crossed for Viaplay Cup draw).

I’m guessing you’d be at Ferguson Park in Jan 1997 though, just up the road… the Whitehill players mucked in to clear the snow off the pitch.

I'm not as prolific an away attender as many on here but I've seen Caley play at 39 grounds.  29 current league grounds and:

Grounds that no longer exist - Love Street, Brockville and Telford Street.

Non-league grounds - Station Park (Nairn County), Christie Park (Huntly), Mosset Park (Forres Mechanics), Grant Street Park (Clach), Princess Royal Park (Deveronvale), Grant Park (Lossiemouth) and New Victoria Park (Newtongrange Star).

I've also seen us play as the home team at five different grounds - Telford Street (1994-1996), Caledonian Stadium (1996-present), Tannadice (Scottish cup quarter final switched there in 1996), Pittodrie (ground share while our ground was redeveloped in 2004) and Victoria Park (Scottish cup tie played there in 2005 while our ground was redeveloped).

Yep, I was there. My only visit to date to Ferguson Park. We won 3-2, possibly a bit fortunately. Don't recall an awful lot about it other than there was certainly snow about. Seem to recall Queens fans chucking snowballs at each other for half time entertainment. Also that entry was via a gate where 1 or 2 people were standing with a tupperware box of cash. No number registering turnstiles there then!

That was the way of things and still is in most of the EOS. I think they brought out a desk from the committee room so they could stuff money in the drawers when it built up. They’ve recently got a hut for the gateman though, and contactless
Whitehill led 2-1 but ran out of legs.

Just remembered QoS were ICT’s first ever opponents in the Scottish. Sergei Baltacha’s season where we weren’t very good, then Steve Paterson took over. 2 late free kicks before Mark McAllister pulled one back.

17th December 1994? at Teltord Street? I was there too. I recall winning 2-1 but not much else about it. Couldn't have told you our goals were free kicks now if indeed they were. Although I think I was conscious the Inverness goal was a late consolation.

we could go through that with ease if we wanted too,  but lets be sensible here,  when you have a glorious kingdom why would you want to downgrade it like that,  Its a sensible choice for us.
