The Voice of Reason Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 7 hours ago, manxman1980 said: You could always go and ask the people responsible for the club? That would seem the obvious place to start. Are FC Isle of Man a listed company? I can't be bothered looking as I am just excited to see the how the team perform and supporting them on their journey. As I have said before I cannot imagine the club ever reaching the upper reaches of the league but if they can get close then that is a great achievement. Yes of course it is. But if you look at the fans forum(s) on the web of any club they as fans are interested in every aspect of the club. Transfers, injures, history, past players, rivals, the ground and particularly relevant here finances 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 6-2 win tonight 1811 attendance. Pretty convincing 5-0 until the 87 minute before a flurry of late goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be happy if they end up bouncing between the Northern Premier and National League North. Higher would be great but that would require professionals and part of the point of this is to give local players the best standard of football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomadic Raptor Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) I’m new to all this how as a local do you get in, do they have open trials in the summer or scouts at local games?

Declan Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 You sign up for one of the local teams. If you play well you get asked to play for this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Many moons ago I watched IOM win an FA final in Cambridgeshire I think it was. Their supporters were somewhat "thin on the ground" shall we say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the same as you do for most teams, stop wasting time on social media and train like your life depended on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman1980 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 FC Isle of Man have got a write up on The Athletic today. https://theathletic.co.uk/2934084/2021/11/07/isle-of-man-english-football-final-frontier/?amp 19 hours ago, The Voice of Reason said: Well say, supporters of Newcastle United for example The Geordies don't give a toss as long as the owners spend a lot of money on players. I haven't seen one Newcastle fan protest against their new owners and I doubt they will unless the wheels come off and no money is spent on players. They are all just relieved to be rid of Mike Ashley, who ironically, ran the club in a financially responsible manner which is going to allow the new owners the opportunity to spend money.

You’ve obviously not visited Newcastle On line, the Newcastle United Fans Forum where you will find much discussion of the clubs finances and the unease of some contributors with the new ownership. No doubt these issues are also the subject of conversations in the pubs around St James’ Park and the city itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
