The biggest away support - EVER!

[WhileTheChief..]

They’ve sold 7k tickets for their PPV, is that they’re on about?

It’s hardly some big gesture form Hearts fans, they’re just paying to watch a game no?

ICT fans should be raging at the love in, totally minging.

It’s because Inverness were one of the few teams who voted against calling the leagues.

Ah that’s cute then .

It’s a pity their fans weren’t so benevolent in paying for the poppies their club stole from Lady Haig.

[hibee-boys]

These trumpets always find new ways to pxxx their money away, it’s hilarious!

Will they play the game or just snog each other for 90 minutes?

Brilliant absolutely bizarre.

Were Inverness not the team that got done over by Hearts bizarrely not getting the normal punishment for playing an unregistered player in the League cup a few years back? Think they were with Hearts beating them 5 zip to qualify in place of Inverness. Incredibly subservient attitude to Hearts and they need to develop some self respect and integrity. Very odd. Gardiner should be sacked.

I hope Caley pump them. Take that ya maroon bell ends

Asking myself the same question. It's not as if Hearts have done anything here worthy of us ripping the pish out them is it? It's a bit cringey from an ICT point of view (although clearly the money during this time is a big deal to them)

Clutching at straws if we're meant to be slating Hearts over this though

I wonder if it could be a thank you from when they were conspiring together to null and void the leagues, to the detriment of the rest of Scottish football.

Two wee tinpot Championship clubs raising some cash. Fair play to them.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Wierd twist of fate to stump up for something that they won't get, when they all shirked paying up for things that they did get. Fair play for the gesture though.

[rcarter1]

Credit where credit is due. This is THE headline story in footbal right now, and will be for weeks.

Another feather in the cap for footballing giants Hearts. The biggest club in the Scottish Championship and the World Atmosphere Champions have now broken the travelling support record at the Caley Stadium. Is there no end to their triumphs?

Inverness Caledonian Thistle statement
👏👏👏👏👏👏🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻
On behalf of Chairman Ross Morrison and the Board of Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC, our Manager, players and staff, I would like to thank everyone who has supported our virtual match “ticket” initiative in this incredible first 24 hours or so.
We thank as ever, the supporters of ICTFC who have once again stepped up for their club and spent their hard earned money to back us when the current pressures of the outside world are so great.
We also thank the fans of the other Scottish clubs, both in the Championship and the Premiership who have also made such generous contributions to a game where their own team isn’t even involved and also fans of the clubs in England who have done likewise. Such kindness is a reminder of the strength of football fans and indeed our game of football.
All of that said, we cannot emphasise how simply blown away we have been by the almost instantaneous warmth and generosity of the supporters of Heart of Midlothian FC.
As I write, we have now sold over 4,700 virtual “tickets” for our game on Friday, February 26th. The vast majority of which have been purchased by Jambos. To put this in some context for those who don’t know the Caledonian Stadium, that is the equivalent of selling out the 2,200 capacity South Stand which is the traditional away end that Hearts fans would have been occupying and also selling out the 2,200 North Stand, normally occupied by ICT supporters. This means that as things stand, Hearts fans have become the biggest away support (virtual or real) ever at the Caledonian Stadium.
Our capacity is 7,822 and we have now managed to sell 60% of that in just over a day.
When we had sold 1,000 tickets in less than 90 minutes yesterday, Robbo joked with me and I really mean joked, that our record attendance which is 7,753 against Rangers would be under threat. Little did we know that everyone, but especially the boys in maroon, would keep it going all day and overnight. Some Hearts supporters clubs have even pledged the price of the bus that would have brought them to Inverness later this month. Incredible generosity.
I have spoken to Hearts Chairman Ann Budge this afternoon and she shares my gratitude and wonder at everyone’s efforts so far. I have also spoken to Stevie Kilgour of the Federation of Hearts Supporters and Hearts legend Gary Mackay who along with fellow players Jimmy Sandison, Scott Crabbe, and Hearts fan David Gardiner, accepted the original ICTFC donation to the 1874 Fighting Fund in 2013.
It has been a remarkable feat of support and philanthropy from a set of fans who through the Foundation of Hearts, have led the way in Scotland on that front and it has been way beyond our hopes for this fundraising initiative. So for all of you who have joined in with this amazing effort thank you once again and for those who still may join us, it is clear now that you will be part of something quite remarkable.
On a serious note, Manager John Robertson has now entered training camp in order to be able to sign thousands of tickets and Thank You letters in the coming days #prayforrobbo
Thank You

What does that auld crone have that has "men" of a certain age drooling at her feet. She either has the negatives or knows some fantastic tricks...

Confused. Are we meant to be slating Hearts for this?

confused/ you should be. most fans on this site are having a bout of the dry boak, trying to deciper the mixed message from ict about how magmanimous these hertz fans are. its like juming into bed with the devil. my heart's in the highlands, my heart is not here

That's right - BBC Scotland are covering the game so ICT wouldn't be getting any PPV. So - got to concede that's a genuinely nice gesture from all those who contributed - still an utterly boak inducing statement though

Money won’t even touch the sides in what they’ve lost in testing for games that haven’t went ahead. Hopefully even more of them before the end of the winter.

[BILLYHIBS]

Hats off to them a magnanimous gesture no doubt

Anyone else lose the will to live about half way through the ICT guy’s ‘Thank You’ note?

Well done to the Hearts fans for equalling their total league cup semi final support at Easter Road against Inverness. Proud day when 7k of them saw their heroes take 9 man Inverness all the way to penalties.

It is stuff like this that makes me glad I grew up in Dingwall and have a soft spot for the Highlands premier team whose chairman made Edinburgh championship teams fans hate list….

[Tyler Durden]

Can’t quite get on board with the magnanimous comments that doff their caps to this. The Yams have basically decided to donate £20k+ to another team cos they “had their back” in their misconceived battle for the soul of Scottish football?

What a bunch of weirdos.

[Bostonhibby]

I just don't get it, Inverness weren't even on their enormous creditors list so they don't have one of their odd "special" relationships.
