scoutman70 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thought I'd kick off the match thread for Saturday. I'm planning on heading up to the game. Will be my first time in Inverness. So on that note, hoping to get some useful info from people How long will it take to drive up from Aberdeen?What is the away car-park like for size and availability. If poor are there other car parking areas nearby?Will it be pay at the gate?Any good pubs near to the ground? On a match note: I reckon we will stick with the current system (Rightly so in IMO). I would have dropped Vernon for St Mirren game but we didn't. Everyone has had the international break. I would stick with Vernon, however if it's clearly not working make the change early in the 2nd half and give someone else a go. Is Fallon fit? I think he would be a good option for the formation, despite being a worse footballer to Vernon. Confident of a nice 3-0 win for the Dons... Thanks in advance folks Link to comment
Karl Fletcher Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Couple of hours in the car imo. There is an ace pub called the Keg right next to the train station but that's about a 20 minute walk from the ground. Last time I was in there they were selling 6 bottles of Magners for a tenner :drink: The car parking is shit, you'll probably need to launch your motor on the grassy bit at the side of the road next to the Stadium.

tup Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thinking of heading to this but not 100% certain yet. Inverness is a shithole and all the pubs are shit and full of wankers. I can't think of any exceptions. 3 Link to comment
tup Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Head to the Caley social club, cheap as fuck for drink, and there is a bus that takes you to the stadium. It has 2 pool tables also. Where's that? Link to comment
tup Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Down from the train station towards the river, cross the bridge and it's just up the road a little bitty. If you know where the bridge is you can't really go wrong. Aye I ken where the bridge is, next to Johnny Foxes. Which way do you turn when you cross the bridge or just straight on? Link to comment
Henry Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Gellions do a bus to the game too I think. Link to comment
The Highland Don Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Going to the game wae ma faither, 6:20 train fae Wick, get into Ness at about 10:35 then get breakfast at Morrisons and head up to the Chieftain for drams, job done. Carry out for the train on the way home then I'll be hitting the town at half 10 or so when I get back. 3-0 Dons win(Vernon, Fraser and Jack) 1 Link to comment
Stoney Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Aye straight on tuper, about 300 yards up the road on your left, I'll not be attending, used to be the best away day IMO. Link to comment
Karl Fletcher Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Inverness are probably the worst team in the League so it will be a fucking travesty if we don't win this tbh. Link to comment
Highland-dandy Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Is it pay at the gate still I like the Inverness game as it's only a 40 min train journey from invergordon Link to comment

SkyeDon Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 2-0 Dons win, we seem to prefer to play away from home at the moment. Link to comment

Iraq_Red Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Driving up to the game, so also looking for somewhere to park, any suggestions? Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 What's the chances of Hayes having a screamer against his old club Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Back on topic, driving will take two and a half hours at that time of day on a Saturday. I do ken a young loon did it in 100 mins at night right enough. Link to comment
tommo1903 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'll be getting the train up, gets in at 1215 or so. Should be a good away day. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I'll go for us finally hitting the goal trail on this one. 4-1 Dons with goals coming from (& in this order) Vernon-Hayes-Vernon- (maybe ICT then) & finally Cammy Smith to break his duck for us properly :thumbs: Wonder what odds you'd get on that bet? Edit: Actually (thinking about it) Anderson may slip in on the action at some point to make it 5 from a corner. Game's in the bag Link to comment
Tord31 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 i'll take 1-0 right now. tempted to mix it up with inclusion of either mcginn or fallon and use fraser as a sub instead this week Link to comment
ScottishJohn Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I think McGinn will start. Hopefully in place of Vernon but I highly doubt that. We should win but we know how defensive brown is against any "strong" SPL side. Link to comment
muttondressedaslamb Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Excited about this one. I'm optimistic and think we'll get a goal rush. 3-0 us. See you fuckers there. Link to comment
