| 11. Author: Athletico Date: Thu 1st Jan 2026. 15:54 I`m fairly sure that is a bit of a gripe with County fans, fed up with players and managers not moving up, so a fair bulk of the squad will be based South of the warning. Reply |

| 13. Author: BouncyPar Date: Thu 1st Jan 2026. 16:40 Athletico, Thu 1 Jan 15:54 Is it not standard practice for players to meet at the home stadium and travel together on the team bus? Or would that be waived for players living closer to the away ground, would they be allowed to travel directly to the away ground and meet the team there? For example, if a Ross County player lived in Perth, presumably there's no requirements for him to trek 3hrs up the a9, just to jump on the team coach and come all the way back down again?

| 14. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Thu 1st Jan 2026. 16:45 BouncyPar, Thu 1 Jan 16:40 Not to sure about “common practice” these days but I do know, in years gone by, that we’ve picked players up at service stations or locations on route. I’ve also known players to use their own cars if they live closer. Probably depends on the manager I suppose. Loving You, Is In My DNA 🇾🇪 Reply |

| 16. Author: neils Date: Thu 1st Jan 2026. 16:52 A confusing thread, I thought everyone knew Ross County are a full time club based in Dingwall! The players train in Dingwall, next to the stadium at the he Highland football academy. They are on record ( this season also) as saying they have difficulty persuading players to move up there, this is one of the reasons they pay top dollar. Like Inverness, they have a fair bit of club flats, and I think for example senior players stay there, and go home if they have family on time off, just like a job where you work away ( like I do, amongst many) I understand pretty much all the players live in Inverness, Dingwall isn`t much bigger than Inverkeithing. Remember the furore when ICT wanted to bin Inverness and train at Kelty? Reply |
| 17. Author: BouncyPar Date: Thu 1st Jan 2026. 17:10 Random pub quiz fact - Ross County stadium is the only ground in Scotland (possibly UK?) where the stadium has a higher capacity than than the population of the town itself Reply |
| 18. Author: Westies squint kicks Date: Thu 1st Jan 2026. 17:24 Teams pick players up en route, Spartans have a pick up in Dunfermline at Fife Leisure Park. Reply |
| 19. Author: neils Date: Thu 1st Jan 2026. 17:34 Aye, and even some full time teams like St Johnstone some players drive themselves to away games, remember a few years ago when there was a bad accident and a couple of players were caught up in it and couldn`t make the game! I guess it`s up to each club, due to practicality, I know QOS aren`t really based in Dumfries (train in Ayr or Glasgow?) Peterhead used to be based for recruitment and training in Dundee etc. it would make no sense to meet up at the home ground for away games. Reply |
| 20. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Thu 1st Jan 2026. 18:05 neils, Thu 1 Jan 17:34 Actually, this reminds me, only a few weeks ago, QOS players were in cars and caught up in an accident before our game was cancelled on the Challenge Cup. neils, Thu 1 Jan 17:34 Assuming these are the same as last season and the season before. The ones I know are….QOS train at Broadwood in Cumbernauld, Arbroath train in Denny (Dunipace FC), Stranraer on Glasgow Green, Peterhead in Perth somewhere and Brechin at Stirling Uni.
