Under-12s to attend Championship matches for free next month

Caley Thistle supporters under the age of 12 will be entitled to free entry for Inverness’ matches against St Mirren and Queen of the South next month.

The SPFL initiative has been supported by all 10 Championship clubs for the two weekends of the Premiership winter break, aimed at encouraging families to attend a match even if their favourite top-tier side is not in action.

Children must be accompanied by a paying adult, with Caley Jags away to Saints on January 6 and at home to Queens on January 13.

SPFL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster said: “Football goes on even during the Ladbrokes Premiership winter break and I commend the Ladbrokes Championship clubs for coming up with this welcome initiative.

“Hopefully many supporters will take the chance to get out to a match next month, with free admission for under-12s making it more affordable for families to attend together.”

Details of how to take advantage of the offer will be available from each home club.
