Notes

The Caledonian Stadium, currently known as the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium for sponsorship reasons is a football stadium situated in the Longman area of Inverness, Scotland. The stadium plays host to the home matches of Scottish Premier League team Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

The club was formed in 1994 by the merging of two Highland Football League clubs, Caledonian F.C. and Inverness Thistle F.C. Originally, Caley Thistle (as Inverness Caledonian Thistle are also known) played their home matches at Telford Street Park. However, one of the conditions of their acceptance into the Scottish Football League was that they would move to a newly-built ground in within their first few seasons. Constructions on the ground begun in 1995 and in November 1996, the ground hosted its first SFL match: a 1-1 draw between Caley Thistle and Albion Rovers.

When the club won the First Division in 2004, they faced a problem in that the Caledonian Stadium did not meet the SPL’s rules on stadium criteria. As a result, the club groundshared with Aberdeen at Pittodrie for the first half of the 2004-05 season, while redevelopment works were carried out at the Caledonian Stadium.
