    Me and my friends went to the Isle of Man for an away day to see them play West Didsbury and Chorlton a couple seasons back. Atmosphere was fantastic, we took about 200 fans over and there were players from both teams in that 1886 bar drinking and partying with us after the game. (both teams ended up getting promoted not long after so it was a bit of a pre-emptive end of season do). Definitely going back this season!

    Guernsey FC were the flag bearers for island ‘nation’ teams competing in the pyramid starting back in 2012. Interestingly, Isle of Man FC’s first match as a team was against Guernsey when the two islands formed an “air bridge” link during Covid lockdowns when both islands had removed local restrictions but the UK was still restricted. Recommend a trip to Guernsey to check out the Green Lions before we get relegated this season 😅

    Bury fan here, IOM away is the best away day of the season. Last year AFC took about 750 across and was all out with the players the night after, with Bury FC reforming this year I reckon there could be at least 1000 going over, might be worth a visit. Tidy little ground as well

    0:50 - Pointless fact - if you're wondering what that flashing purple light is at the top of Ellis's phone, it's the infrared proximity sensor. You can't see it with the naked eye, however some cameras don't filter out infrared light very well so it shows up as a purple LED. You can also try it with a TV remote, as most of them use infrared emitters.

      That’s interesting! I’m just reading into this a bit more, are you considered to have British citizenship or do you have your own type of passport for the Isle of Man? And allegedly you don’t need a passport to travel between the common travel area, so if you decided to fly to the UK, that’s not considered a domestic flight as the Isle of Man is it’s own entity? Sorry for the questions I’m just curious
