jackwhite Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 14 hours ago, 0bserver said: Finally a win for Jonesy's Barmy Army today. On the flip side that was their lowest league crowd with only 476 people showing up. A lot of people chose to support their local clubs... didn't FcIoM promise not to play when the local leagues had games? Castletown v Colby in the Combi was a good game and far cheaper than the Bowl They had to play the game at that time yesterday due to there not being a return flight for the opposition team today. It was also wild at the time the game was played so I'd imagine it contributed to the crowd being low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're skint. https://gef.im/2022/12/09/ravens-we-got-it-wrong/ Hate to think what state their finances must be in with the way their attendances have plummeted.

Putting up ticket prices from £ 9.50 to £ 10 seems hardly revolutionary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 It snowed in the morning. The game kicked off late. There was a cracking World Cup game on the Telly in the afternoon and the England capitulation starting a few minutes after. I wouldn’t read too much into the attendance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reptar Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 What they really needed to do was get in the top 5 or 6 last year and then edge closer to the top this year, hopefully going on to win promotion in '23 or '24. They would've built anticipation and enthusiasm for 3 or 4 years then. But they fucked up the narrative by getting promoted on their first go. Oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are up against teams in a higher league with better players. FC have stated only IOM based players so are limited in that respect. They are doing fine given that restriction.

Manxieover65 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Someone today told me that the government are stepping in to pay away sides travel and accommodation from next season. Not sure how that will go down if there's truth in it. (Albeit could be a manx rumour which we know are usually rubbish) For what it's worth give it a few years and they will be challenging in this league . That said how far they can go is questionable . But I think its great to give kids something to aspire too . Edited February 6, 2023 by Manxieover65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
