He came in did a job and left (thankfully). Our 10 games without a win last season under MM was a breath of fresh air compared to the eye bleeding stuff Hughes had us playing. I haven't been to a home game this season (don't like exposing the family to the old firm bile) but from what I saw last year the team/squad/coaching & atmosphere within the stadium are a hundred times better than they've been for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not fact checked it but it said that he has the second lowest PPG and Win % of County's permanent managers since 2011/12. Only Coyle was worse (obviously there's Championship stat padding for Kettlewell / Ferguson). So I went and had a wee look at the results over the past 12 months. 1 win in the last 11 league games at the moment (to go with the 1 win in the first 11 league games of last season). Of those 11 matches have we not played the best 5 teams in the league, then Hearts & Celtic this season? I’m not saying our form isnt pish, which it is, but the opposition has been stiff.

Forfinn Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 As a general rule, this is a good thing. However... The saving of £1.90 from Inverness or Alness is less than Ross County have put matchday ticket prices up by this season. The first eligible service (25A) from Tain on a Saturday doesn't arrive in Dingwall until 17:40. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, still not going back regardless if tickets were £5 or £500 until the manager is gone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll certainly take advantage of this now and again, instead of driving in from Inverness. The tail backs from Maryburgh roundabout into Dingwall on match day were getting steadily worse last season so a few less cars, with folk taking up this £5 return offer should help. It always surprised me that ScotRail have never scheduled a train going back to Inverness after full time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 They did do something like this before and it was a total shiteshow. Driver let me on for nothing a couple of times as the Stagecoach systems hadn't been properly updated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver let me on for nothing a couple of times as the Stagecoach systems hadn't been properly updated. Yeah, I thought I recognised it and had a look yesterday. There was a scheme towards the end of the 2019/20 season. The full details aren't on the County website any more, but from the PR published elsewhere, it looks like it was 25% off for ST holders only "from the surrounding areas". There's tweets from people saying their driver hadn't even been told about it and let them on for free instead! This new scheme is a blanket £5 so roughly the same deal from Inverness and Alness. Not as good the closer you get to Dingwall, and would be a great deal if it was actually possible to use from Tain as the press release tries to imply. So it's a similar thing, extended to matchday ticket holders (although if you've bought online and intend to collect on the day, I'm not sure how that'll work). The blanket fare should be much easier to administer though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, letting you on for free isn't, but being a total shiteshow is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Jakey Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 This is a complete aside, but its only when you go to the continent, to somewhere like Germany that you realise how atrocious the public transport in this country is, and how good it could be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re looking very light in defence for those two games.Aye I’m fearing the worst, for Saturday especially. Callachan coming out probably means Tillson comes in - imo opinion he should be a staple starter and he’ll bring much needed energy but it definitely makes our midfield more lightweight against a Rangers team who’ll be on a high. Watson will come in for Baldwin. He was a fine defender when he first signed but he’s showing signs of his age now and I don’t know if he’s capable of starting week in week out for us anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
