Inverness - Big Rangers Town?

Gary said:
This "big town" has a population less than Ibrox to be fair.

“Big Rangers Town” is a reference to the % of Rangers supporters, obviously nothing to do with the population count.
 
No mhanks in my school as far as I can remember.

Bears, stags and Aberdeen fans. And non footballing fans

Scottish independence referendum - Results - BBC News

Scottish independence referendum result from the BBC

Glasgow one of only 4 constituencies that voted yes.

To be fair about it, 170k in Glasgow "city" voted No. That's more than most constituencies even have people. Take into account Greater Glasgow (a population of over 1.2 million people) and there is probably more people that voted No in this part of the woods than anywhere else in Scotland.

And conversely, more people voted Yes in that part of the woods than anywhere else in Scotland.
Dress it up how you want but Glasgow is a 'Yes City'.

Very sad to see Dave go - I spent many years working for him and the place is no the same.

I'm a few years younger than Junior but I used to tag along with him and his mates as a teenager and had some great laughs.
 
Am sure 'Satan' who posted on here years ago was an Invernesian. Used to see him at Euro away trips about 10-12 years ago. Well, you couldnt miss him.

Going back to the Oil Yard days we were known to the locals as the "Hey Jimmies", they were named the Wombles as they all seemed to come Wimbling down from the hills & within days were Welders.

My old man was an electrician at Ardersier and used the term "hey Jimmies". He called the welders "six week wonderboys" :)

As for the entire North of Scotland, apart from a small area around Aberdeen its mostly Rangers.

Nothing like 70k, the poster with the remark about about having less population than Ibrox is probably about right, even with the latest house building.
The population of their home towns and cities is one thing that folks always exaggerate.

Correct. Glasgow is misrepresented in this. Stick all the Glasgow postcodes together. A resounding No result.

Mate, it's rediculious to talk about the actual numbers when the discussion is about areas. Of course Glasgow had more no votes numerically, it also had more yes voters.

That'll be because it's the most populated place in Scotland, so when people from small towns in comparison call it all "Yes" area you can see how daft that seems.
