    Inverness Kelty Thistle

    And we thought it was bad enough players traveling through from Glasgow. Cold strange decision.

    Can see the logic behind it tbh. It's been a problem for them for years. Players simply don't want to travel to, or stay in, Inverness so choose to play for clubs closer to the Central belt, even if it means on less money. What it means for their Inverness based players though, I don't know. I'm sure Arbroath did it for years as well, maybe still do.

    First thing i thought of when i heard this was cost cutting if the central belt players get travel expenses? Dont know why its such an issue as im sure even Ross County have sessions somewhere in the central belt from time to time.

    The Sevco lover Scott Gardiner has run that club in to the ground. Who can forget when he teamed up with Rangers to try and void the COVID season.

    How will it work? Surely the manager is based in Inverness? One set of players train at Kelty and another set in Inverness? What a sh1tshow.

    I read it that all will be based in Kelty and only travel to Inverness for ‘home’ matches

    I guess this is a consequence of them being relegated? Avoid travel costs of players in the central belt? 🤔

    Surely they have some players/coaching staff located in Inverness or thereabouts. They're gonna move to Fife-or make the round trip?

    Who knows? Maybe there will be separate training across the bases?
