... The Northern lights of Old Aberdeen ... mean 'Home Sweet Home' for Caley Thistle, at least for a season as the SPL finally voted to let Inverness in by a 10-2 margin at the meeting held on 22nd June. May 22nd - Caley Thistle win the Scottish First Division

June 1st - SPL deny ICT promotion June 1st - SPL change seating criteria to 6000 from season 05/06 onwards June 2nd - SFA confirms it will hear ICT appeal June 3rd - SPFA call for change June 4th - Hibs and Hearts call for a new meeting of the SPL June 4th - Partick offer to accept relegation for 1 million pounds June 9th - Dunfermline and Dundee Utd suggest ICT should be allowed to play in the SPL in Inverness June 9th - Clyde ask SPL to consider making the top flight 14 or 16 teams from next season June 10th - George Peat says SPL could face charges of bringing the game into disrepute June 10th - UEFA indicate they might become involved 'if necessary' June 22nd - Caley Thistle promoted to SPL

Club Historian Ian Broadfoot may have to add several chapters to the book about the first 10 years of ICT that is due out later this year after a protracted legal and moral battle that has seen Caley Thistle first denied, then granted promotion to the SPL. How fitting that a 10 year memento will have a happy ending that sees the club go from its roots in the Highland League to the SPL in just 10 years ... and let us not forget, that Tam Cowan also owes former chairman Dougie McGilvary 500 quid after betting that we wouldnt do it a number of years ago on his off the ball radio show.

Partick Thistle failed in a bid to stop the second vote on this matter on Tuesday 22nd June and the ensuing vote to allow Caley Thistle's groundshare agreement with Aberdeen was won by 10 votes to 2

So its off to Pittodrie for next season as the adventure continues for Caley Thistle......
