Stadium
Tulloch Caledonian Stadium has been redeveloped with ITCFC entering the Scottish Premier League (SPL). Mainly to fulfil the SPL criteria, the club have built two new stands at either end of the ground and installed undersoil heating. Not only has this meant that the Club have not had to seek an alternative site to build a bigger stadium, but also that the ground sharing agreement with the Club at Aberdeen, has now ended and the Club have been able to return home. The ground is dominated by the Main Stand, which runs along one side of the pitch. This all seated stand, is quite smart looking and is partly covered (to the rear), whilst opposite is a small open terrace, that is now unused. At one end is the North Stand or more commonly known as the ‘Bridge End’, which is an all seated covered stand which is the ‘home end’ of the ground. The other end, the South Stand, is a similar looking all seated stand, that is given to away supporters. One unusual fact about the Caledonian Stadium, is that it has the widest pitch of any league team in Scotland.

Hospitality Entrance
Entrance for Kingsmills Suite is done via the main reception. Not a real spectacular entrance, however a lot of friendly hostesses here. Hospitality tickets can be collected from 1.30PM onwards (for matches with kick-off at 3PM).
Restaurant
A two-course pre-match set menu including complimentary drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) is served on fully dressed shared dining tables for 6 people or more. Our table, amongst others, enjoyed the company of Brian Irvine, a former international footballer who played as a defender for Falkirk, Aberdeen, Dundee, Ross County and the Scotland national team, and managed Elgin City. We were also enjoyed by a surprise visit from then ICTFC manager Terry Butcher. As all the alcoholic drinks were included, very nice table conversations started to arouse, enjoying a good pub-style menu. The drinks itself can be collected from the in-Suite bar or ordered via the waiting staff. Please expect ICTFC to have everything available for you to drink.
During half-time tea, coffee and savories were provided in an orderly manner. Full-time refreshments were not provided. The bar service ends approximately one hour after the final whistle.
Business lounge
The Suite is located in the Main Stand offering some pitch views but these could bet better as the windows don’t reach to the ground. The Suite itself opens at 1.30PM for matches with kick-off at 3PM and although fairly big, offers a nice and vibrant atmosphere, both welcoming home and away fans when we were there. It is a Suite where shared dining tables are strategically placed and is fully equipped with waiting staff, host/hostesses, complimentary matchday programmes, teamsheets, matchday quiz, bar facility and TV’s showing Sky Sports. Here also MoM presentations take place, offering guests ample opportunity to go for that picture you have always wanted to have.
Being from the Netherlands, ICTFC surprised us by giving us the opportunity to present the MoM Billy McKay! An unbelievable experience!
Seating
From the Kingsmills Suite it is only a few steps to the executive seating in the Main Stand. Seating is quite ordinary, not padded but is located at the half-way line right next to the Director’s Box. You can expect it to be very very cold during the time of the year we visited ICTFC, so bring some warm clothing with you. Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC Review Sport Hospitality Ticket.
Good to know
The best part of the package is probably after the match when the bar service has ended and executive coaches line up at the parking lot, ready to bring you to the ICTFC Social Club in Inverness. A superb pub, full of ICTFC fans cheering and drinking. A very very nice feature to this package!
