Collections to help Inverness-based Highland Football League club Clachnacuddin FC return to action at Grant Street Park following fire have passed their goal
TWO collections which hoped to raise a total of £5000 to help an Inverness football club back to its home ground have passed their goal.
Clachnacuddin FC has been unable to play home fixtures at Grant Street Park following a fire on Christmas Eve.
The supporters’ trust set up an online collection which has raised more than £1460.
This will be topped up by an appeal organised by club stalwart Billy Corbett which has already raised more than £5000.
Mr Corbett said: “I was trying to raise as much as I could – and I am still trying to raise money.” He said the response had been good, adding: “It’s been fantastic and there have been a lot of ex-players donating to the cause.”
Club bosses are hopeful they will be able to play the home fixture at the ground against Formartine United on Wednesday – subject to league approval.
