Inverness Caley Thistle will need support of fans more than ever after coronavirus pandemic says former coach David Milroy
DAVID Milroy says Inverness Caledonian Thistle needs more fans than ever to come out and support the club when they are allowed to return after the coronavirus pandemic.
The legendary Inverness Thistle captain, who was part of the coaching team in Caley Thistle’s first season in 1994, says it is disappointing the city hasn’t embraced the club as was hoped since merging with Caledonian.
ICT has made it to the Premiership, won the Scottish Cup and reached the League Cup final, as well as played in the Europa League.
Milroy (63) who is now a Caley Thistle ambassador, says the creation of the football club has been good for Inverness, but does not think the city has recognised that.
“I think the merger has been a good thing, but I don’t always think the city appreciates what the club have done for them,” he said.
“The club have set themselves standards they are trying to work towards and the support has a big part to play in helping them.
“There is a hardcore of great supporters at the club, but there is a floating support that doesn’t seem to come out.
“I don’t know where everyone has gone that was at Hampden five years ago when we won the Scottish Cup."
