Honest Saints Fan Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I'm more than happy to lie down to County next Saturday if it helps them from finishing bottom. Might have something to do with the fact their stadium is a 10 minute walk from my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: Because it's certainly not a good away support or an atmosphere. #AMIRITE!? They bring haggis pies and that's as good a reason as any for wanting them to overtake Thistle. One of these days, I hope someone starts a thread, writes an article or posts a tear-stained rant, explicitly saying what each team "brings to the league".

rambling syd rumpo Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 14 minutes ago, Patrick Bateman said: I usually find that the P&B favourite trope of 'bring nothing to the league' means 'don't have a lot of people attending your matches'. I'd suggest it's not an exaggeration to say that a large percentage of posters on here would genuinely like to see the 12 best supported clubs compete year after year in closed shop top division. It sounds an interesting idea till I remember it gives United a free pass back to the Premiership. So no deal. I think most of the "bring nothing to the league" crew would back off when they thought through the implications. We'd rather whinge and sneer at smaller clubs than have a boring, hermetically sealed league that could never offer us the thrill of dodging the drop or the ecstasy of tipping our closest rivals over the cliff edge.

I mean, in my lifetime, Dundee have got one more top six finish than County and that's about it. The same number of cup finals (but less cup wins). Even Dundee's highest finish is the same as County's. Bar a few more fans (imagine, a club from a city of ~150000 people drawing more fans than County!), Dundee have pretty much brought the same amount to the topflight as County.

That and the Dundee Derby (when both Dundee teams are in the same league). Unfortunately, Ross County and Inverness just isn’t the same draw.

Put your own/company money into a small club, to the point of wage bills being far beyond the capabilities of the club, in the hope of building them into a top flight standard club. Gretnas plan or Countys? You know yourself the money spent at County is completely unsustainable. You spent almost £100k last Summer on one player.

tree house tam Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I like the trip to Dingwall, mainly because we start drinking at 8am and are in Inverness for opening time. Only really stop for a couple of pints in actual Dingwall, back to Inverness sharpish then last train around 8pm. In Perth for the last few pints before a nightclub, if we're still standing. The actual football I could do without tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 The sneering at teams with a small fanbase doesn't sit well with me. I've seen us take some terrible numbers through to some away games. Teams are where they are on merit. Wishing Accies or County relegation on the basis of having small travelling support is a bit silly anyhow considering they're likely to be replaced by Livingston.

I think we can all agree that the highlight of this thread has been the fellow taking photos of the match today on his TV to rip our away support. OFTW. It's only because we won. If we'd lost I'd have been saying I wished you lot and County would take your 17 fans into the diddy league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont say it too loudly, but didn't you take more fans to your last Scottish Cup Final than Dundee's 17,000 when they last played a Scottish Cup Final, (or us in our last one). We did win ours, but it's not much of a consolation when the other team have more fans there than you. Would have liked County to stay up, I like the Highlands to be represented in the top league, and it's a far better ground to visit than The Caley stadium. Fear it's too late for County now though sadly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said, the Gretna/County comparisons don't really work, it's just lazy, and it's quite obvious that MacGregor isn't a Brooks Mileson type chancer.

tree house tam Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Don't really care about County being bankrolled by Roy, you deserved to be in the top league as you were in the top 12 teams in the country. That's now coming to an end though so bye bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re being a silly billy RandomGuy. I presume like most I prefer to drive 120 miles on a motorway rather than on a road with 1 lane in either direction.

Fifespud Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 The teams I have wanted to see go down in no particular order were United, St Mirren, the Fermers and Hamilton. So 2 down so far. The rest I couldn’t care less about but I had a great day at Hospo in Dingwall earlier this season and would do that again for sure. County are much more palatable than Inverness. However I really like Thistle so I hope they stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
