Formed in 2019 and looking to get into the EFL in ten to 15 years, should be a holiday for Vale and Crewe Sold out their first game on Sunday, 3000, a friendly v Guernsey www.nwcfl.com/news-articles.php?id=8276The club will be playing their home games on the Island on Saturday evenings with the games scheduled to start at 1730hrs so that there is no clash with any other football in the vicinity. The club will cover the costs of visiting clubs and match officials travel and hotel expenses for the games which is a considerable commitment, but also shows the seriousness of their plans to compete in the English League pyramid.www.fcisleofman.im/

I never understood why the IoM, Jersey and Guernsey did not have teams in the league. Jersey had some money ploughed into their rugby team a few years ago, who play in the English league at a reasonably high level.
Channel Islands have produced a few half decent players too - Le Tissier and Le Saux, obviously, also Brett Pitman. Regular easy flights from the mainland make away travel easy enough, although not cheap over a whole season.

I thought that the Isle of Man might have been renamed by now, because of the Gender equality lobby!

Good luck to them, seems a sensible enough way to try to get into the League. 85,000 population should be able to support crowds of 6-10k so perfectly reasonable for a lower league side.

Doesn't have to be a place in the English League pyramid. I'd have thought a challenge in Scotland would be very possible. Another Cally Thistle perhaps.

My son used to play rugby for Trentham and the Isle of Man had a team in the league. The RFU paid for every club to fly over there and stay on the Saturday evening. I think it stopped due to it ā kicking off ā in the evening.
