Page 6 - Deal Round Up October 2019

Whereas before, making the jump into the professional ranks was extremely hard for young
footballers on the island, they now have the opportunity to showcase their talents in England
throughout the year.
One of the big drawbacks of starting an island team is the high costs involved, which include
having to pay for the travel of both themselves and their opponents, however both Guernsey
and Jersey Bulls have demonstrated how, with the support of their local communities, these
steep financial commitments can be managed.
The fact that Jersey Bulls were able to attract almost 1000 fans for their very first fixture at
the start of the month shows both how island clubs can develop revenue and help to cultivate
a special following across the community.
The Isle of Man bid is being led by National Team manager Paul Jones, (pictured below
centre).
When interviewing him last week I was
immediately struck by his immense passion for
football on the island and his determination to
see the project through
There have been plans in the pipeline to start a
team on the Isle of Man for almost 15 years but
for one reason or another the project has never
come to fruition, until now.
I wish Paul and his colleagues the absolute best
of luck in creating a club because these island
teams have the potential to unite their communities in such a unique way.
