'Party In The Park' will go with a real bang

Caley Thistle will collect their SPL First Division championship trophy on Saturday with the home match with Dundee transformed into 'The Party In The Park'.

The club is calling on fans to come to the stadium early to savour all the entertainment. Chairman George Fraser revealed:"Thanks to the superb generosity of our friends, we're able to offer what promises to be the best title party the SFL has seen. It's a 'thank you' to our fans for sticking by Terry Butcher and the lads and cheering home the champions."

The chairman added: "I want to give a massive thanks to CK Events, Moray Firth Radio and Limelight for giving up time and resources free of charge to make 'The Party In The Park' an afternoon to remember."

MFR will broadcast live from the Stadium from 2 pm and circa 2.20 pm on to the pitch will come The Highland Marchers -- hardy Caley Jags fans who have been walking from Ayr since last Saturday's game. Terry Butcher hopes to march round the pitch with them.

This is followed by live entertainment -- a special musical act which is being kept under wraps to surprise the crowd.This act will also perform at half time.

After the game, we will have a Hampden-style stage presentation on the pitch as the trophy is presented to skipper Grant Munro, with another surprise feature. After the medals are handed over,the manager and players will take time from their lap of honour to be interviewed live on MFR.

Chairman Fraser said:"It's got all the making of celebrating in style. To get the full benefit, supporters should arrive that bit earlier.Bring all the kids, it's a special family occasion and it should be a wonderful atmosphere."

Manager Terry Butcher said:"The players and management team really appreciate people donating their efforts to ensure the day really goes with a swing. They all have friends and family coming to see them collect the trophy and it's nice to see the club, CK Events, MFR and Limelight coming together and putting on a great show."

Gawd had forgotten all about them. You must be of a certain age fanoffotty!

Daleneigh Caley (I don't use DC out of respect for Dornoch Caley) loves a guid wind up, and succeeds nearly every time.

We could have lady blacksmith mambazo on before and at half time without to much fuss as Esson's 18 yard box is not going to have very much going on in it during the game.

Ok guys what I mean is IMHO it will be a 2nd rate act that will be aimed at the older ( main stand ) element of our support and therefore I wont be leaving the pub to be there at 2 p.m. to listen to a crud act . I dont want it cancelled , that was a tongue in cheek remark that as usual got taken out of context . Hope that clears things up for you .

I think you're doing the organisers a bit of s disservice by prejudging the band when you don't even know who they are yet...but it's your choice whether or not you want to make the effort to get there early to support the efforts of the club who are going out of their way to make it a great day by way of thanks to all those who stuck with the club after last years relegation.

I'll be very happy to be proved wrong but somehow I doubt I will be .

I actually filled Les up with Vodka and Coke last night and he told me that it's going to be "Torridon and the Staggies" performing "We're On Our Way" live with a medley from the Dingwall Gaelic Choir as a supporting act.

Are you sure that wasn't IHE wearing a Les suit?

Is there going to be a performance by a band post-match?

Copied this from the first post if they are also playing at half time I would say its highly likely they are playing prior too.

What is classed as a 'special musical act' is it the topless singing woman who plays with fire from Britain's got talent?

Gates open at 1.30pm on Saturday

Just a quick reminder

Im aiming to be there for 2, even getting an extra early train to make sure but, I reckon, despite my best efforts, i'll get in at 3:02.

I'm with you on that one. No matter the intentions I always seem to arrive after KO. Can't see this week being different. Hence why I asked about music being on after. As opposed to before the match.

That's because you spend too long in the pub and you know it!

"Musical Act" Can't be Jedward then !!

don't care who it is. Just looking forward to the celebration of a wonderful achievement.

Schiehallion had better hope it's not them or I will be chasing them for money owed to me.

I'm only going for the half time entertainment now. Teckle!

You are very funny DC. None of us have any idea who it may be, but I'm sure it will be a fun day anyway. Lots going on so I wouldn't miss it for the world. I'll go down early and enjoy the party. I really hope you are stuck in the pub missing a fantastic show.

Gates open at 1.30pm and close at 1.30am

I'm hoping to be there at about 2.

No point on me even saying I'll be there earlier, never happens and will most likely end up at the stadium at 1-2 minutes before kick-off. In saying that I would like to make an effort this week....but we'll see.

How may gallons does it take to fill Les up?
