Inverness Thistle
Description
82. Inverness Thistle
We're joined by Robbie Mcilwraith and Erik Ellison, two co-founders of the new Inverness Thistle, the first club to compete in Scotland's professional pyramid since they merged with Caledonian to form Inverness CT in 1994.
Many people aren't aware of the deep opposition and hurt football supporters in Inverness felt when it was proposed that the cities two biggest clubs, Thistle and Caledonian, should merge to join the Scottish Football League. Sadly, the decision was pushed through and fans were left without clubs to support, refusing to follow the newly created club in Inverness.
But now, one of those clubs have returned.
