    CaleyJags Can Come Home

      Teaser Paragraph:

    A Scottish Premier League board meeting has voted to allow Caley Thistle to end the ground-sharing arrangement with Aberdeen and return to the Caledonian Stadium so long as the capacity and undersoil heating criteria are met by 21 January.


    A Scottish Premier League board meeting has voted to allow Caley Thistle to end the ground-sharing arrangement with Aberdeen and return to the Caledonian Stadium so long as the capacity and undersoil heating criteria are met by 21 January.

    It has just been confirmed that Caley Thistle will be allowed to complete the season at a newly finished Caledonian Stadium. Ironically, if everything is completed in time, the first match should be against Caley Thistle manager Craig Brewster's old side, Dunfermline.

    Ken Mackie, chairman of ICT, said: "Today's decision is great news for the club, the fans and the city and gives our survival chances a real boost. The players have done an exceptional job so far in our first year in the SPL and hopefully we can continue this form back in Inverness.

    "We took the decision to ground share with Aberdeen and received the backing of the vast majority of fans. A termination clause was negotiated with Aberdeen covering any opportunity to return to Inverness throughout the course of the season.

    "Tullochs deserve credit for committing their support to the club to ensure we have the stands up and under soil heating in place before the deadline.

    "The board would also like to thank the fans who have done a tremendous job in supporting the team under difficult circumstances. All being well our first home match at Caledonian Stadium will be on the 29th January against Dunfermline and it will be a monumental day for the city."

    Craig Brewster, commenting on the BBC website said "It's absolutely fantastic for us. We obviously hoped that we were going to get it but until the permission was granted you just never know. We couldn't celebrate anything until we got the go-ahead so this is an absolute boost for the club and the community."
