dezrfc1 26 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 An operation to clear the snow from the pitch is underway as Caley Thistle confidence grows that Saturday's game with Rangers will go on as scheduled at Inverness.Kenny Cameron, the club's operations director, said on Thursday morning:"We've decided to remove the snow off the playing surface today because if we let it melt, the pitch might be to sodden. So staff and volunteers started work at 9 am and the snow will be off today."There is now no reason to postpone the fixture and everyone's looking forward to us getting back into action against the SPL champions. The match is on Sky TV and Sky personnel arrived at the stadium today and say there is no problem with the A9, so everything's good to go -- though it'll be a bit cooler than Turkey for the Rangers team!"There are still home tickets available from the stadium -- indeed, we've had people who've travelled from Skye in to make sure of their briefs."The news was a boost for manager Terry Butcher and his players, desperate to resume after last week's postponement.http://www.ictfc.co.uk/articles/20101209/game-on_2208825_2240274good to see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueben_d 40 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Great that's it's going ahead. Surprising that we can go all the way up there but Killy can't make it to porkheid. Also tynecastle is falling apart and they can still hold a match? Do timmy have injuries? Has someone died? What? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,708 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Chance to get a few points ahead of Celtic now! Will be tough, we always tend to start pretty slow in these early kick off games, lets get right at them from the off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also tynecastle is falling apart and they can still hold a match? Do timmy have injuries? Has someone died? What?Agnes, the tea-lady at the Mecca bingo has chipped her nailpolish. Having once put a line on for her husband that included Celtic, Celtic FC have decided to postpone this weekend's match in memory of Agnes' late manicure. A source from the club said, 'It's whit ra manicyoor wid huv wanted, by ra way pal.' Rumours of Celtic booking 35+ tickets and hotel rooms in Japan are as of this stage, unconfirmed and are expected to remain so until Rangers get knocked out of the Europa League.

Here's hoping the boys are fired up for it and can grab all three points! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Sasac 164 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Not gonna be easy, but with the right players, we can cause them great damage. Puts the scum right under pressure, with points to make up. Would much rather have them in the bag early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
