“No one is ever whinging about it – we all enjoy our football that much that we just get on
with it,” manager Josh Concanen says. “We’re happy to help the club out financially because
it’s a huge expense for an amateur football team. Especially with how much flights are to get
off the island. You get fogged in but that’s just part of it.”
Atkins has big ambition off the pitch. They want to extend the clubhouse, which currently only
holds 35, while improving their changing rooms before eventually
laying a 3G pitch. He also hopes an sports hall will be built one day
as, currently, there is nowhere to train indoors.
Jumble sales bring in funds and people can also pay £10 to become
a Vice President.
Whether 100 years of Muratti hurt will end this spring remains to
be seen. But imagine the scenes in Victoria Street, which is always
decked out in blue & white ahead of the big game.
“They have the programmes printed before the semi-final has finished,” Atkins says. “It will
be printed Jersey v Guernsey before the game is played. One year we’ll really upset them. It
will just be lovely.”
We Must Postpone Games Quicker By Edd Paul
Late postponements are sometimes going to happen in Non-League football. A sudden
downpour, drop in temperature or even a fast-setting fog. But Farsley Celtic’s FA Trophy replay
at Barnet in January was called off just minutes before kick-off because of a frozen pitch.
It meant a 380-mile round trip for the part-time visitors was completely wasted. You can
imagine how annoyed they would have been. They then had to make the same trip again a
couple of weeks later to get the match played!
