FC IOM.. 23:42 - Apr 17 with 3886 viewsdistortR

Going up! First year and promotion via the play-off's to the 9th tier of English football!
Great to have a decent standard of football to go and watch with my boys, over 3200 there yesterday. They get criticised for a direct style of football, but scoring 123 goals in 38 league matches speaks for itself. One of only 2 fully amateur teams in the division, the other side got relegated with 2 points, so quite an achievement.

So onwards and upwards, one of next years opponents will be a certain vauxhall motors, i really f'cking hope we beat them...........

And in the FA cup for the first time, covid stymied it this year.

I wonder what visiting fans think, in a division where quite a few teams get double figure attendances, in the iom they are surrounded by the cream of our pimply youth giving them loads.....very amusing.

Funny moment yesterday, IOM under the cosh, take the lead. A minute later New Mills equalise. Tannoy announcer , sombre voiced after his ecstatic exclamations announcing our goal, "And the scorer for new mills was....if he'll just turn round so I can see his number...oh, I don't know, one of them scored anyway"
And his attempted pronunciations of non anglo-saxon surnames is magnificent, a kind of pub singer mumble and apology.

cracking IOM goal from the semi;

FC IOM, community owned, has to pay the travel costs of the visiting team, who are flown over, so need about 1800 in each match to break even, so I'm told. They averaged over 1600 in their 19 home league matches, 2700 in the play off semi and over 3200 in the final, impressive for that level.
Of the teams in the division above, only Macclesfield, who got promoted, averaged more.
As I said, 1 of only 2 teams in that division who don't pay their players, but then, they aren't going to move elsewhere, I suppose.

I was over for the recent victory against Stockport Town.
A great football weekender. The locals have certainly got behind the team.
It was very pleasing to see IOM defeat New Mills in the play off final.
